Master is all action at Punchestown
He was unfortunate a couple of times and that was more like it today. He was dead in himself the last day and perhaps I ran him too quickly (a week after his previous run). He was good on that ground today and he's a nice juvenile. He was bought at the Goffs Millions Sale as a yearling.
No sweat for L'Ami
I hope Nina is okay after her fall from Zest For Life, she is not used to being catapulted (she is fine). This fella might go to Cheltenham's December meeting. He is starting to enjoy it now and Garde Champetre is grand after yesterday but they had terrible weather in England last night so he's not home yet. Hopefully he'll make it back tonight.
Dunguib brilliant again
That was grand. He wasn't really concentrating over the first two and he learned more today. He jumped with enthusiasm. We'll find out more two weeks tomorrow in the Royal Bond. The ground out there was loose rather than tacky which was okay. Roll on Fairyhouse.
Summit proves tops
He is a nice horse and I like the way he was quick and accurate over his hurdles especially seeing as it was his debut. He got a crack of the whip and he flew up the straight. Robbie said he'd be better on better ground.
The 2 Stevies land Novice Handicap Hurdle
Quel Esprit off the mark on first hurdle outing
He is a natural jumper. I'd imagine he'll be a two and a half miler for the rest of the season. He is in the Royal Bond but he won't go there unless it is really heavy. He'll more likely go for the Barry & Sandra Kelly Memorial at Navan.
Biscuit goes 1 better a year on
