Gmac takes the opener at Killarney
He won well and he has improved a good bit from the last day. He jumped well and I'm pleased with him.
Boogie makes all to follow up on Cork win
He's got a great pedigree. The dam won the Belgian Oaks and there is also listed hurdle and chase winners in France in the pedigree. Hopefully he is okay after this and we might get another day out of him.
Rebel makes all in eventful affair
Martin often gets the short end of the stick, and his been jocked off some of our horses in favour of other riders before. But he's also ridden plenty of winners for us and is a good worker. He schools a lot for us, and gave that horse a peach of a ride with all the loose horses. We'll leave him off for the winter, and go novice chasing in the spring.
Double for McNamara as Saint beats Steps
That's not before time. I was a little disappointed with him at Roscommon the last day but Black Benny was on form there. He'll keep going now while the ground is good.
Shanpallas scores on chase debut
He made just one mistake but was more or less foot perfect. He stays two and a half miles very well. Good ground is the key to him, and we'll put him away over the winter.
Shot From The Hip bounces back to his best
Maybe he wanted better ground and I took him out of Galway because the ground went against him. Hopefully we will find something at Listowel for him now and I think he will stay further. He got a very good ride.
Spa Hill foils the gamble on Casey Ryback
