Sean Cleary Farrell rides first winner on Barcelona
Peckham springs back to form under O'Hanlon
He did it well in first-time cheekpieces. I think that is the first time he has travelled. He would run in snatches and drop himself out when it suits him. Maybe the cheekpieces lit him up a bit. Paddy (O'Hanlon) said he travelled all the way there and jumped well. He said he had the race put to bed at the second last. He had plenty of horse under him. He'll keep going for the summer, he wants good ground. We'll see can we win another with him.
Burke-Ott steers home first racecourse winner
A lot of young horses take time to mature and maybe the latter season point-to-points level off a small bit. He has matured into being a stayer and a galloper. We had him for the banks race and the young man (Andy Burke-Ott) broke his collarbone and he went back point-to-pointing. Andy is a good worker and a good, solid horseman. He's gutsy and he puts his heart and soul into it. They won three point-to-points themselves with him. That's his first track ride and first winner.
Fitzgerald gets Realm home in thriller
Getaway Goldie seals Elliott's brace of winners
Tobac another winner for Flynn
The young lad gave him a great ride. It's his first winner over fences and hasn't had many rides over fences. He came down to school and ride out and I thought he rode well. He has ridden plenty on the Flat and rides out for Brendan Duke. It's unusual to see a race cut up so much in Ireland, you'd be looking over in England and you'd be giving out. It was great for me but not for anybody else!. He gave a great round of jumping and hopefully he can go on to Tipperary now. He's definitely a better chaser than he was a hurdler. He jumped his hurdles too big and I thought he was kind of windy but fences suit him as he jumps the hurdles like fences. Once he started jumping fences, he attacked them. A great little horse and the boys have got plenty of money off him a few times. The horses are running really well and everybody at home helps out which makes a big difference.
C D And E wins Downpatrick bumper
She didn't run until she was seven. We had her dam who was a very good mare and she was the same, she was slow to start. Her mother was fourth in the Irish National, and she won seven on the track for us and four point-to-points. She has bred a lot of winners as well. We only got one point-to-point into her because the ground was too hard and she ran a real respectable race. She went to Punchestown and finished fifth. She has had a lot of niggly problems. She is probably a two and a half mile plus mare. She is not as strong as the mother or her sister Howaya Aoife. She is more of a hurdle type than a chasing type. She'll go straight for a two and a half mile mares' maiden hurdle. She wouldn't want ground any better than that. I was a bit afraid of the ground coming up but it was lovely ground. The owner is with me since I started and he'd never interfere with you. If one runs bad, there is never a long face and if one wins there is great excitement.
