Lily has the gift over Dgab
Aughaloor impresses at Fairyhouse
we think he's a very good horse who could go to the very top, He will be aimed at the three miles novice at Cheltenham as he stays, jumps and goes on any ground. He has just been a bit unfortunate not to have realised his full potential so far.
Magical double for Townend
I couldn't understand why he ran so badly at Gowran the last day . he didn't jump well enough for some reason. he is a Flat horse who has taken a long time to fill into himself and is only starting to come to himself now. Today was the plan with him and the boys had a few quid on too!
Trendelenburg rewards odds-on punters
Trendelenburg is owned by a few members of my family, who are here, and its great to win for them! He'll have a break now.
Toll takes Townend's tally to three
Droim Toll wasn't right at Limerick but I don't know why. However he stays all day and goes on that ground. He had a wind operation last season and I was reasonably confident coming here today.
Bob Lingo makes all for Fairyhouse win
they gave him a bit of a lead at the start but he won well in the end. We'll see what J.P. (McManus, owner) and Frank (Berry, racing manager) say now before making plans.
Bog Warrior wins Fairyhouse finale
the only reason I chose to run him in a bumper was because he had a little bit of leg trouble before . otherwise I'd have gone for a novice hurdle because he jumps great. He is a real old fashioned chaser and to win a bumper was a bonus.
