Cooldine Bog rewarded for his consistency

He's been unlucky in a couple of maiden hurdles and we probably just ran into a weak one today. He's owned by my mother and father and Sean Hennessy.

3-in-a-row for Masons Daughter

I think she is quite good, and she looks a real two-miler because she's quite keen and likes to get on with it. She's very quick over her hurdles.

Sir Benford Wales makes all to upset hot favourite

It was a super ride from Rachael. Johnny (Flanagan, owner) used to have Moscow Mannon with us and we got this guy to replace him. He’s a lovely horse, and I’m looking forward to going over a fence with him in time. He’s had a couple of little niggly things that have held him up and we decided to give him the time. He was a big backward horse, so I think he’ll keep improving. I think he could race on for the winter to a degree. I don’t know if he’d go on real winter ground but we’ll see.

Billy's Angel Touched off by another Angel

I'm delighted with that as we felt that we let one away in Tramore. Adam knew the horse and I thought he gave him a great ride.

Blackmore & de Bromhead complete Magic double

That’s a bit of a surprise and we only got her a couple of months ago. She’s a lovely mare and jumps brilliant. I thought she’d need the run and she did as she took a good blow but was able to keep going. It’s our first winner for the Halleys (Gerry and Debbie) who are very old family friends and neighbours of ours. I’ve no real plan as I genuinely thought she would need the run today.

Dylan back on track with favoured conditions

Double up for Willie and Patrick at Kilbeggan

We've had Carter Mckay and Castello Sforza run in Sheikh Fahad's personal colours (Pearl Bloodstock) but this is our first runner in these colours (Qatar Racing Limited - the Roaring Lion silks),.
