Bay does it again in Down Royal opener
They went so quick and he lost a bit of room at the start. Gary was good on him. He's a tough little horse and was a bit unlucky in Navan where the line came a bit soon. He's a good servant.

Cheers Buddy delights Smyth
That's his fifth win for us - four came on the all-weather and he was beginning to look a one-trick pony. We are only 10 minutes away and came over last night and walked the track. We didn't think he would be too far away. Hopefully he can go back to Dundalk in the winter and win again. He is owned by Yvonne Lowe from Doncaster.
Botany Bay lands gamble in Ulster Derby
I wasn't sure that the pace was going to suit him. They went very slow early and I was hoping for a better gallop. It was only really the last 100 yards that he got going. He is a huge, long striding horse and I was just afraid when they quickened they would take him off his feet which they did actually and it was only in the last 100 yards he got going. I've always had great faith in this horse but he let me down quite badly on his couple of runs as a two-year-old, I was scratching my head a little bit. Anyway he has grown up and matured and obviously he is different horse this year. This is the first time I've won the race. I wasn't sure he was streetwise enough but it panned out well. We bred him and we have a yearling brother. He'll make into a real nice stayer. I was looking at the Queen's Vase last night and wondering did I do the right thing but I did.
Witty a good winner of Ulster Oaks
We intended to keep up front and set a good pace. We got a toe and then Chris took over at the bend. It was a masterful ride by Chris. The owner Francis Campbell is from Coalisland and a good supporter of mine. We'll see where we go in handicaps, she won that off 70. It looks like she will stay further and she is progressing nicely.
