O'Callaghan eyes Royal Ascot for Lorelei Rock
Plough Boy pops up at 14/1 for Donnelly
He was dropping back in grade I suppose but he's a very genuine horse. He gives everything and is easy going. Whatever happened in the stalls wouldn't faze him. It's great to get a win back on the board with him. He won at Ayr last year so we'll probably send him back over there for a nice pot. We'll campaign him in and around that and also look at Bellewstown which is a local track for the lads. That's 13 he's won now and he's won 10 for us. He's been great, he's such an easy horse to train and I wish we had a few more like him.
Siskin ever so professional on debut
Tarnawa proves tough in Blue Wind
It was a good performance by her. I thought she'd be hard to beat today,. She's a tough, genuine and stays well. We'll see how she comes out of the race before making a decision about where she goes next. Epsom may be a possibility. The second is a very good filly and it was a good classic trial but we'll just see how she comes out of the race before making any decision where she goes. It's a lovely race to win. Blue Wind was a very special filly. She did Oaks double for me, she was very impressive when she won the Epsom Oaks and then came back and won at the Curragh for us as well.
Twenty Minutes final leg of Keane's 674/1 treble in Naas
Woody Creek leads home one-two for Stack
I didn't think that the other horse (Empire Line) would be capable of giving her a stone. If she came back to where she was as a two-year-old, at level weights I've always said she would be better than him. She lost her confidence badly in Leopardstown that day she got knocked over. She was quite sore after it and then she ran absolutely terrible again in Leopardstown, it was probably the wrong place to run her. I said to Craig (Bernick, owner) that hopefully she'd get a little but further in time but I just wanted to get her in a habit of racing again today on a straight track where she'd have plenty of room around her. It's worked anyway and it's great for Craig who has been a great supporter. It's nice to have a winner for him, we've had out trials and tribulations and haven't had much luck so far but hopefully this is the start of something. It was a good pot. I always had a high opinion of her last year but at Leopardstown it just all went wrong. She actually ran okay here the last day when she was drawn on the wrong side of the track. Young Andy gave her a good ride and Mikey gave the other horse a good ride, he did nothing wrong. The weight told in the last 50 yards. Mikey is a bit sick but he'll have his day someday.
