'They're there to be jumped' as Young's mare wins Listowel opener

She isn't a bad mare, the trip was on the short side and Sean said he was still going ok and was staying on (when Russellsbelle fell). She was only beaten a couple of lengths at Cork in March and finished fourth in a Naas bumper. She'll only improve but the ground is getting as good as she'd want it now. The owners Tom Treacy and Seanie O'Connell are on the committee at Ballinrobe racecourse and previously won eight races with Cappacurry Zak for us. She has a good pedigree and her half-brother Now Is The Hour won a Haydock Grade 2 hurdle for Gavin Cromwell and the lads have a half-sister by Yeats going to the Derby Sale.

Brother to 1,000 Guineas winner scores on jumps debut

I'm thrilled with that and he had been doing everything right at home prior to running on the flat in April, but ran deplorably. That didn't really made sense, so we schooled him and he enjoyed it and continued to work well. Hurdling could be his job and he was quite impressive. He is a grand horse and is a half-brother to Fallen Angel who won the 1,000 Guineas last week, so has a terrific pedigree. You just hope that when you set them at hurdling, they enjoy it although Danny said he was quite awkward at several jumps and lost an iron at one stage, so if he brushes that up we have a load to look forward to. I think he is entitled to go to Galway.

Redwood Queen on a roll for Byrnes family

There is two types of ground and he kept her to the outside rail,. Philip had ridden in the earlier races and the previous winner also came up the outside as well. She is thriving, has found form and did it well today. We'll keep going as far as she goes and find something in three or four weeks.

Minx Tiara makes all for Flanagan

She is maturing with age and being in foal (to Hurricane Lane) seems to have got her to finish out her races better. She was always a great mare but just wasn't able to finish out her races. The handicapper was fair to her after she won the last day and there is now a 0-140 E80,000 race for her in Galway. She is in such good form that she might run in that and that will be her last race. She has been a great servant for our small yard and has taken us to places we only dreamed of - she finished second in Leopardstown and has run against the big boys. To have a winner in Killarney and here is fantastic and she is owned by a great bunch of lads.

Curling has high hopes for Jeremy Pass

He is a grand big horse and had a great run the first day in a point to point this year but he had problem with his foot and then ran disappointingly. He won well with Derek (O'Connor) the last day and I'm delighted with Pa (King) who gave him a great ride. . He was once a very good horse and just needs good ground. He will stay hunter chasing next year and will go for the top hunter chases, with Aintree being his main aim.
