Drama but favourite Bailly home in Down Royal opener
That was lovely. She's very much a project as I said in Bellewstown. She's a filly with plenty of ability - five (furlongs) is way too sharp for her. She is head back and ears back and just wants to please and our job at the minute is to try and teach her to put the pieces together quietly. The Curragh Stakes is the next obvious target for her and she is going to be better with a year on her back. I know it is very warm but she got a bit warm around the neck which worried me but Colin said once he got on her she loved it and she was a lady. We are going the right way - onwards and upwards.
Haqeeba a local winner for Lennon
She has been running very consistently and has been due a turn. I think she is the only Flat one I have in the yard. All credit goes to Sean Collins from Barnshill Stud, he picks the races for me and I just get them fit!. He (Daniel Redmond) did exactly what he said he was going to do. He got a bit of cover and he actually thought he was in front too soon. He said she was just idling a bit in front. She's a nice filly. We'll keep her at it over the summer and we'll maybe cover her then in the spring time. There's a race in Ayr next week and the owner likes a trip to Ayr so we'll probably look at that. Maurice McCavitt is a businessman from Newry.
No Needs Never repays O'Brien
Very Smart one for the bookies at 25/1
Ross Coakley, who rode her in Fairyhouse, said to maybe stick a hood on her so I half owe this one to him. She didn't travel today either. She's never been free as such but she has been hard on herself. She's a half sister to Aspen Belle who was notoriously hot and she's getting more like her sister that way, she's getting hotter!. We'll see how we go, we'll skip Galway!

What a Star Sennockian is with 15th win
Cache Queen will bid for 3 on the bounce at Galway
She got a little bit idle in front but he was very happy with her and she has won two on the bounce for us now,. She is after booking her ticket for Galway next Friday night. She's on the team! She was a bit low in the ratings but that should put her up now in the 0-70 on Friday night so she'll head there. We'll run her over the mile and 100 yards there. We are very happy and hopefully they will stay going well next week.
