Mooneista gains deserved success for Davison
She had shown me a lot of potential from the start, since I first began to train her, and with that in mind I really asked her a couple of questions with the company I ran her in early on in the season. She delivered and she got her black-type, and she ran third in the Ballyhane. I was anxious to break the maiden there, so it is nice to get that today. I'd say she is probably half a stone better when there is ease in the ground - she just seems to really sink into it and accelerate. The conditions were right today, but then again we had to go and do it.
Keane gets a good tune from A Case Of You
3 winners in 3 days for Luke McAteer
She's tough and she stays well. She probably hasn't much speed, but stuck at it well to the line and going further she will be a better filly. She was very tough and when the boss has one like this you always have a bit of confidence that you can win. Big thanks to Kevin (Manning), he told me I would win if I made the running and got her up there early. She got to the line and that is what it is all about.
Master Of Reality lands feature in good style
Keane doubles up on Jerandme
It's been a good race for us, I think that's the fourth time I've won it. He's very genuine, what you see is what you get. He never lets us down no matter what we run him in. He does stay very well and maybe next year he might be a contender for that two and a half mile race at (Royal) Ascot. He likes good-ish ground, so we took a chance today that it would be alright. The trip today was a bit of a help. Colin Keane is without doubt one of the nicest young lads to have ever come into racing not just as a jockey but as a man. He said to me afterwards that he had a look at the last day I rode him, last night, and said 'I should have held onto him a bit longer' and today he was able to sit and that just made the difference - he was able to pick up. It just shows you how good he is. You'd have to think about that (the Irish Cesarewitch) as well, it would be the next step.
