Words makes a perfect start
She's a nice filly and we're very happy with her. The mammy was good (Moonstone, won the 2008 Irish Oaks). She came from a nice bit back and you'd have to be delighted with the run.
Hong Kong looks like it might be ahead now
I knew he had come on a good bit from Gowran. He did it well. He looks tailor-made for Hong Kong. He likes top of the ground and he has a nice turn of foot. He's only had the two runs. If he isn't sold there we might look at a handicap with him,.
Kernoff learning the sprinting game nicely
He was a little outpaced early on. He doesn't know how to jump and sprint with the handicappers. It takes them time to learn to sprint. Shane said he was two lengths down with a furlong to go but he was always confident he'd get there. It was a nice race for him as he definitely needs a stiff five. It's great for John (Clague, winning owner). He's the only horse he has in training at the moment and his mother was a great patron.
Table Rock brings up Ballydoyle double
Another Derby for Bolger
That's three Derbys we've won this year and I don't think anyone will break that record,.
306/1 Curragh treble for Bolger
He's versatile from six furlongs to a mile and a half. He could go for a premier handicap somewhere now,.
Streetcar gets his maiden out of the way
It's a new experience for him as he doesn't lead much at home. We had to bowl along and make it a test of stamina. He got a bit lonely out in front but when he got a little bit of company he stretched on again and he won nicely. I wanted to get the maiden out of the way and there was nothing for him over a mile and a half. We might run in something like the Ballyroan at Leopadstown at the start of August now. He has some good engagements after that and we might give him an entry at Doncaster (the English Leger). He's a nice horse and I think he's a horse that's on the upgrade. I think there's a lot more to come from him.
