Bellaphina strikes for Kinsella & Maxwell
There was a lot of improvement in her but coming down we weren't sure if she'd go on the ground. Thankfully she did. She had two good runs last year and had a touch of sore shins after her second run and that's why she didn't see it out but we knew she was good and put her away. We'll see how she comes out of this and she would want better ground. I have 15 in training, that's my first Flat winner and we had a couple of good ones which we sold including (Listed winner) Limiti Di Greccio to Paddy Twomey and (Group 3 winner) Commanche Country which went to America. It's nice to get the first Flat winner.
Empty Metaphor makes all under McDonogh
Second success for Jessica Maye
it is an important win pedigree-wise as she is a beautifully bred filly. She finished second at Gowran last year and flies at home for Jessica. She missed the break but she gave her plenty of time and didn't panic.
Gambe Veloci makes the breakthrough
He wants soft ground and is a stronger, more straightforward horse this year. Joseph's girlfriend Tara (Armstrong) has been riding him since he came back in. He is nice and relaxed, stays well and will get further without a doubt.
