Magical Steps gets nimble late on
That's a relief. She has been placed a few times, and I'm delighted that she got her head in front. We will try and win another race with her now and maybe sneak a bit of black-type. I think her trip is a mile and one or a mile and two. It was probably a little sharp for her today on a track which wouldn't be ideal for her.
Hikari hacks up in Wexford
Wish scores for Keane & McConnell
We thought she got to the front too soon the last day even though she won, so we said we'd produce her later today. She is very, very genuine and I thought a genuine horse would win this race. I was touch and go about whether or not to run her. I said she wasn't running on Wednesday night, but I took a chance and thank God the rain came when it did.
Opportunity knocks for Table Forty Six
O'Brien seen to good effect on Marconi
I was told by Sarah and Joseph that we were riding him wrong. He was travelling well in his races but he was getting there just a bit too early, so Joseph said that he would be better held up, and Sarah agreed.
Berry doubles up on Celestial Prospect
Mr & Mrs Quinn (part owners) drove five hours from Tyrone to get here and they won't even stay over. This will make the journey home a bit shorter. If they hadn't travelled I wouldn't have run him as I thought the ground had gone for him. I told Fran to keep him wide and if others dropped back that he would get a bit of encouragement and he did. We'll find a little handicap hurdle for him now over two and a half somewhere.
