Your Honor makes all in Limerick feature
He was so impressive here on similar ground (in March) and was then a bit disappointing over the summer. It was a fairly obvious race to come back here, and a super prize limited to four-year-olds. It’s great when it works out! I suppose he’ll have to go to one of the Festivals after that. He’s a fantastic jumper and obviously loves that ground. He’ll probably go chasing soon rather than later.

McNamaras on the mark again with Thegraveyardbookie
It was an eventful race. He jumped very poor early on and as a result ended up further back than he wanted to be, but he has an engine and his bumper form was reasonable. There will be huge improvement in him as he’s a very raw and weak horse. I’m delighted to win and it’s a lovely pot. There is no doubt he was lucky, but I’d say if he’d jumped better early on, he’d have been closer to them and more competitive. He jumped so poor over the first three or four that I was embarrassed. He could be a nice horse in time. He might run once more around March time, he won’t run for a couple of months, and then he’ll go out to grass.
Aghmorough Bridge causes 50-1 shock in Limerick Maiden Hurdle
She jumps well and will probably jump a fence better. I was hoping for a good run as our horses had been sick for a couple of months but the horse yesterday (Barton Snow) ran well which was encouraging. She was a good point-to-point mare (won three times) and it was a toss-up between coming here or going back point-to-pointing. She will probably appear next over fences I’d imagine. The mother was a great mare and won eight times.
