Melia strikes Gold again with Apache
I hadn't heard of him until the other day when I was looking for a rider. I rang Dave Keena and he said Damien was a good young lad. I had Connor King booked to ride Longfield Lad when the ground was good but when the rain came it didn't suit him but did suit Apache Gold.
Sweet victory for Dawson on Apples
I took a chance running her but it worked out well, and I even thought she had a chance with the other two in the race. She was getting 15lb on this ground and she never runs a bad race. She was going to go to the Horses In Training Sale but she's turning into a little cheque machine and we're getting fond of her so she might not go. She is 100% genuine but we put blinkers on her just to carry Ben. They were more for the jockey than the horse!
Red gets off the mark in style
The ground and the trip suited. He might go to Wolverhampton in a week or two.
Berry records first winner for Moyglare
Surprise win for Greanta
Socks the latest Madden to ride a winner
Tom's mother Patricia is a first cousin of mine, so it's a great family win. The 10lb claim made a huge difference as she's small. She backed out (slowly away) on her last two starts and Tom said to try her in cheek-pieces today and she jumped out lovely. He was strong in the finish. She has a heart of gold and will run at Navan on Wednesday over a mile and two furlongs.
Important win for Star
