Delphinia rewards punters in Ballybrit

She liked the ground and stayed well. It took a while to find a race with stamina in it but staying is her forte. Maybe she was (under the weather in August) but she had two runs coming here so had a bit of experience.

Yard favourite gets off the mark on last start of 2018

I'm delighted with that as it looked like we were going to go through the year without winning one with him. He has never a handicap from a mark higher than 87 and he is getting older and mightn't be as good as he once was. He hasn't the zip he once had but that ground slowed the pace down a little bit. He's dangerous in the 80s. He is a great lead horse and we're very fond of him. He'll be back again for the Lincoln next March.

That was badly wanted! He is a nice horse and the key to him is having a cut in the ground. It was a little bit lively for him the last day and he had a little hold-up before his Curragh run. That was his last roll of the dice today (for the season) and it's nice to get it. He never ran a bad race and we bought him as a breezer but couldn't get him back into the sales. We thought we had him sold after his first run but the deal didn't materialise. We'll probably have him for next year, he is a big raw horse and if things go right he could improve next year.
