Bluesea's daughter delights Motherway with maiden win
She’s a lovely filly and we’ve always liked her since day one and it’s great to get a winner for JP at Christmas,. She was jumping so well she was even jumping into the back of a few of them. Simon said it was straight forward. She ran around a bit down the home straight, had a little look about when she hit the front, but she was good over the last two. She ran here in the spring, but she was only a frame and has really filled out over the summer in Martinstown. I was really pleased when she came back in the autumn and knew I had a mare to train. With her pedigree you would say stamina is going to be her forte down the line. Bluesea Cracker is still with us and is in the stable just across the yard from this filly. She is rising 24 and is still fit and healthy. It’s great to see her daughter coming through now.
No Debates about Kelleher and Tyner horse's dominance in Limerick veterans
He enjoyed himself there today. I was worried about the pace that he may end up in front, but the two JP horses went on in front which was lovely for us,. He ran a peculiar race in the Cork National the last day. They must have gone a steady gallop as he got caught for toe turning in and then he sprinted after the last. It was nice and smooth today and he jumped lovely. The original plan was to go for a three-mile handicap hurdle here but the entry was small and we switched him to this. Anna McGuinness usually rides him but she’s riding in the Paddy Power for Willie and Ken Whelan recommended this lad to ride him. His chase mark will be a bit high after this and we might go for a three-mile handicap hurdle the next day.

Meet And Greet is back on track at Limerick
He was off for a long time with injury and we gave him a run in Punchestown but I came here today thinking he’d need another run. I was wrong and Phillip gave him a great ride. Phillip said beforehand that he would finish strong but we were wondering what pace would be in the race. They went quick enough and it was a good performance. If he stays sound is the big thing. He’s a gent of a horse and we love him. I’m delighted with that.

No need to Apologise at first time of asking for McGills
His jumping wouldn’t be the greatest but I always felt like I was going to get there. He jumped the last two. He was a cheap purchase but has had his problems. Thankfully we’ve got them worked out for today and he’s got the job done. He should come on from the run and he didn’t jump too badly today.
