The legendary Dawn Run recalled after Boro's Wexford win
Further joy for the Deise as Robin wins for Halley
I just think the ground was a little bit on the quick side for him earlier in the summer and they done a good job watering it here today,. It probably suited our horse, I just don't think he wants quick ground at his age anymore. He has won on heavy ground previously. He has been a great servant for the owners and has won four times over hurdles now. He will probably go for a handicap again. He is entered in Galway and if he doesn't go there he might go to the Tramore Festival.
No splitting Butler and Spot at Wexford
That's my seventh winner on the track and second since I turned professional. I ride out for Denis and he has been very good to me down through the years. Hopefully I can keep it going now. To be honest he was retired after Limerick. We put him out in the field but every day we were feeding him he was knocking us out on to the road and rocking about so we decided to give him another run. They done a great job watering the ground here. He needs a cut in the ground and Limerick was very fast and he didn’t like it. Darragh was absolutely superb. The gallop he went and to be able to give him a breather. To judge the pace and still have enough in reserve. He fired him into every hurdle. It was an 80 to 95 but he jumped like a champion hurdler!. I thought he would die a death when they got to him at the bottom bend, but he really battled on. He was well-headed but battled. He was awesome and we are delighted. My friend in England had provisionally bought him to go ‘pointing’ next year, but his leg wouldn’t be that pretty so I’m glad he didn’t go!
Hogan and Cawley put 2 on the board at Wexford
Them races are a great incentive. I spent long enough giving out about the race programme but they do deserve a fair compliment for having races like that, maiden hurdles for non-placed horse and the syndicate races. They have done a great job with the calendar. No one can say there is not enough racing anymore. There is tonnes of racing on and it's great. Paul was good on him. He said a month ago that he was thinking of turning professional and I told him to go for it. He is well able to ride and has tonnes of experience. He won this race four years ago for me as an amateur. He is a good man over an obstacle and is definitely a hard enough worker to have a go a being a professional. I'll be supporting him plenty anyway. It's unfortunate for Shane Mulcahy who is out injured with a broken leg. We'll get him going when he gets back, he is not forgotten and we have a great team of staff. We got stuck in traffic on the way here and missed Mister Butler. Paul got a good tune out of both horses the last day so I let him ride both again. He was unlucky and got carried out on Mister Butler in Killarney. It looked like he was coming there to challenge but he got a somersault instead and I couldn't take the ride off him after that.

Melody follows-up in style
Love The Melody makes all in Wexford finale
The last day she was pulling. We said we'd let her bowl along today so she wouldn't pull. The minute she got in front she just settled herself and that was it. He got a few breathers into her and she did it well. It's great to have another winner (also on the mark with Travelwise at Naas on Wednesday). We will leave her freshen up a little bit. She wants a good cut in the ground like that, it's lovely ground. She is a very nice mare and has a future.
