Moylussa battles back bravely to give Magnussen first winner

That was brilliant and I'm delighted for Seamus and the family, who have put a lot of belief in me. They have stuck with me so long and I believe this horse is much better than what he has shown so far. I'm from Germany, have been in Ireland nearly 13 years and have a show-jumping background. I decided to change at the end of 2012 and came across Mark Molloy (trainer) who asked me had I ever ridden a thoroughbred and I said no, so stayed with him and fell in love with the point-to-pointers. I learned a lot from Mark and then moved to Henry De Bromhead where I also learned a lot, so then jumped and did it on my own. I'm mainly focused on point-to-pointers, only have a couple of runners for the track and am based in Nenagh, in Tom Hogan's yard. I have loads of young stock coming along and have plenty good owners so without them I couldn't do it. Seamus and his family are from Ballina/Killaloe and I have a couple of young horses for them too so this is brilliant.

Irish Impulse makes light of drop in trip to add second success

It is coming together for him and he has got confidence after his win the last day. Driving through Mitchelstown today I was worried when I saw six inches of snow but when we got here, there wasn't as much and the ground was nice and wasn't deep. I thought he wouldn't have been good enough to win over hurdles with the way he had been running but, until this morning when the programme was updated, there was no chase race for him. I'll see what is coming up although the ground at Thurles might suit him for his next race.

Shraheen gains compensation for Kilbeggan disqualification

I suppose he went the scenic route but not getting penalised for Kilbeggan was a help as it turned out. He is a lovely big horse with a great attitude and a lovely way of going and jumps very well. You'd say he'll jump fences in time and is from a great family.

Nolan’s Juniper Hill wins Tipperary’s Junction Hurdle

she ran well in a bumper here but then disappointed although had a layoff after her last run. We thought she’d improve for today’s run, running for the first time over three miles, so rode her for luck. We were worried she wouldn’t get home so we said we’d mind her and Sean snuck her into the race lovely. She is owned by a local syndicate, mainly from Adamstown, so I’m delighted for them.

Only By Night too strong for Mullins pair in Tipperary

She jumped brilliant and is very good to jump although I thought we were in bother going along the side but she found plenty for pressure. I'm delighted with her. We won't lose the run of ourselves but it was a good performance and she will go further too. There is a nice programme for mares here and she could also travel to the UK too so we'll see.
