Ayelya makes all under Hayes for Hanlon
They let her off and when they did that she enjoyed herself in front. It's not too often you'd see an 80 rated mare winning a maiden. She enjoyed it up there by herself as she's not the most genuine mare in the country. She's very well bred and she's a winning mare now. For breeding she's worth a good few quid. I bought her out of the Aga Khan's. She shows plenty of ability at home but when she goes to the track she gets crowded and doesn't want to know. It worked out well today but I'd say it was a poor race.
Odds-on Mystic completes hat-trick
Hours & Hand just hold on
He's a grand little horse and he's been unlucky a few times. He seems to run well fresh and that's the key to him, we gave him a good break. It wasn't the intention to go to the front but he said he jumped the first two and he was gone. He was just keen and travelling well under him so you might as well let him go. Before he was cutting out and I thought he was a bit trip-less at one time and ran him over different trips. He stayed at it well today. He jumped well. He's a grand fun horse and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on him after winning a nose. We'll play it by ear and maybe up him in trip.
Townend doubles-up aboard Wonder
A Rated lives up to his name
Barry said he had lots of horse. He said if had let him off earlier he'd have won by a furlong. He won his point-to-point on the same type of ground but he's been running well all year on different ground. We'll pick out a race again for him in a couple of weeks time. We might head for Listowel if the ground stays good. I'd say you could go any kind of distance with him and I'd say we'll look for a novice race for him.
Timmons guides Nobody home in front
He's never run that well over that trip. We've tried him a good few times over hurdles over two-and-a-half. The last day he ran very well and we were happy with him coming out of Tipperary. I thought that run was nearly good enough to win. I didn't know if he would handle this track as every time we ran him on a good track everyone said don't go to a tighter track with him. All of them were wrong!. You don't know if you don't try. The race sort of fell his way. He stayed on well. He won a three-mile hurdle in Punchestown and that's a good staying track. I'd say there is a race or two in him. We'll look for something similar and I haven't even looked beyond today. I said if he didn't run well today I'd give him a break. I kept him during the summer hoping he'd pick up a couple of races. I'm happy enough with him there. I'll mix him between hurdles and fences.
Easy win for Anytime under Codd for Elliott
