Corviglia cosy winner of Roscommon opener
Her form has worked out with the filly that was second to her winning next time at Leopardstown. Her work at home has come forward and Mum will have a chat with Alan (Cooper, racing manager) and the team to see where they want to go next. I’d imagine the Listed Ingabelle Stakes at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend could be next for her. She’s from a lovely family and the dam is a sister to the Oaks winner Light Shift.
Harannda swoops wide and late to open account
. She handled the good ground well. She’s a handy filly and turned well. She had a couple of good runs in defeat last year and was entitled to do that. Hopefully now that she’s got her head in front she might keep going the right way.

Ger Lyons records 1,000th winner with Offiah
Ger is so dedicated. He just loves animals and that shines through with certain horses especially this lad. He just gets into their heads and fills them with loads of confidence. In our yard they are happy horses. Happy staff make happy horses and visa versa. He doesn’t copy what other trainers do - he thinks outside the box. Sometimes you think this lad is losing it but all of a sudden you realise none of us would have thought of that with certain genius things that he does. It’s been a great ride and it will be a long ride for the next 1,000 but hopefully we are still there for it!. We’re delighted to get it in Roscommon as well as it’s a very lucky track for us. Michael Finneran and his crew are very good to us and have great facilities which they are always upgrading. It’s a front-runner’s track but Colin was very good on him. He nick’s lengths on bends and is riding with so much confidence. The horse was threatening to do that for a long time and it’s great for Sean Jones and David Spratt to be part of this historic winner.
Bay prevails in three-way thriller
O'Brien grabs quick double with Monty's
Bright gives Keane treble and Meade a welcome winner
I’m delighted to see a winner as the horses haven’t been flying and I was thinking if that one didn’t run well I was in trouble. We thought he was firing at home so it’s nice to see one coming in. He’d two good runs, wants goodish ground and stays well.
