Winiata shows improvement in Limerick
Could Be King gets home in Limerick
I was worried about the ground and while we were drawn well, it wasn't ideal to make all like that. It doesn't suit him as he is quite idle and works well from behind. His form was very good but we were disappointed with him the last day when Chris (Hayes, jockey) said he lost his action and when we brought him home there wasn't a whole lot wrong with him.
Insignia makes his mark, as Murphy issues mea culpa!
Sir Erec shows his potential in Limerick
Slattery boots home 1,357.5/1 treble at Limerick
I'm delighted; he has been slow to come down the handicap and he needed to come down to that mark. He has been all year coming down to that without winning anything but he obviously loves that ground and received a good ride. Andy said he idled in front and we thought we were going to get run out of it there but I'm delighted to get the win before the end of the year because he won't go to the all-weather with him. We're running out of ammo a bit now but we've had 24 winners in the past six months. This is my best year and I put it down to having nice horses A lot of them were at the right end of the handicap and I'm already worrying about next year trying to restock; we don't want to go backwards.
Simpson and Duchess Ravenwaves team up well
She did it very well and we knew she'd be ok on that ground today as she ran very well over hurdles on testing ground at Listowel last month. She could go to Galway for a similar race next.
Drombeg Dream wins in good style under Foley
Conditions were in her favour, she likes that ground and also likes to dictate. There's the Listed Garnet Stakes at Naas next Saturday over a mile for her next but whether it's too quick for her or not I'm not sure; we'll see if she's ok first.
