Pascalia obliges in claimer for Murtagh and Coen
Marble Angel grabs a win en route to the Sales
Jack gave her a lovely ride and everything went to plan - jumped, got a nice position, just carried into the race. She travelled very sweetly. Gap opened up and she just went through, she was probably there plenty soon but she could do nothing else and did it very smoothly. All good. She's going to Newmarket Sales, so she is on the boat tonight for her trouble. I'm pleased she has won three. We persevered with her into her four-year-old career because we thought there was something there. It took a while, but at least we got it right eventually!
Blanc lunges late to double up
Eclairage bounces out and makes all in nursery
I'm delighted for the owner (Siobhan Murphy). I really thought she could win. That's why I put McDonogh on, I saw that he was doing 8-7. I said I would either get Hollie Doyle or McDonogh. I said to Nathan Crosse if he would ride her and I told him 'out the gates and gone' - he works for Willie McCreery next door to me. He had to ride for Marnane. Kevin O'Ryan rang me and I said to put Declan McDonogh up because he is brilliant out of the gate.
Ostraka shocks with 66/1 Mercury success
Honestly, a quality filly. The Belgian chap has done a great job with her (on her back). I don't know what to say - I'm shellshocked, but I did fancy her. I did like the mare and she was working great. I believe in a lot of these sprints - and we won it last year - are all in the break. She was jumping out with the one (Eclairage) in the last race even though she is a four-year-old. Last night I sent young James the video of Dun Na Sead last year and I said that he had to do exactly the same. He did it and he didn't panic. He kept a little bit for the last 100 yards. I'm delighted for him, he is a good jockey and a nice kid too. We've had a disappointing year, but they are coming right now. The season is a bit too short!. We are off to the Horses in Training Sale next week and let's see if we can pick up a few. She is staying around for sure. She will be a nice mare next year and I could even travel with her I'd say, she likes firm ground.
Glenderry shows guts to open account
It was difficult from that draw so I just said to Billy that he would get the trip and he would get it well. Feel free to make the running because he is a lovely big galloping horse. He's about 16-2 and it would be a shame not to use that stride. It was just a case of playing to our strengths and Billy was good and strong, and the horse was genuine in the last 100 yards.
