Hassett Gets Fav Home in Wexford Opener
He'll probably go for a winners race now over two and a half miles plus. He hasn't told me he wants a break yet. Fast ground is his thing. It is great that he has won as he has been hitting the crossbar, which is hard for the owners (Limtip Syndicate). They are a group of eight from Limerick and Tipperary.
Sea Skates In
That was a surprise. She broke down a couple of years ago and it looked as if she was going to run poor again today going past the stands but Sean said they went very fast and she stayed on best. I thought with a circuit to go it was the paddocks for her! She'll go for another handicap hurdle next, maybe in Listowel. She doesn't like very soft ground though.
Declan Delights Favourite Backers
Hutchinson/Lynch Strike Again
I only have him two months. He is improving every day since I got him. He was very hot when I got him and my staff have done a great job with him. The owner, Patricia Monahan is a new owner to me and it is great to have a winner for her straight away. Andrew gave him a great ride.
Nolan Doubles Up in all Wexford Win
I'm delighted with that. Jim is a great friend and has always been a great supporter of the yard. He is in Ffos Las because there was a memorial race for Keith Lewis. I had to give him a commentary over the phone. This fellow is from Ashkalani's first National Hunt crop. He hurdles well at home and he'll go at that game now, hopefully on good ground.
