Boy off on break after Fairyhouse win
He's likely to get a break now and come back next year,. He's just a bit light and will be a nice horse in a year's time. He's a full-brother to Teach Nua (who won two bumpers and a hurdle for Dermot Weld).
Carroll celebrates birthday in style
Blue prevails in tight finish
She'll go for the Goffs Million Sprint (Curragh 27th September). She goes well and had always gone nicely,. She had a hold up in the middle of summer or you would have seen her earlier. It was just a minor niggle.
Turpin lands pot in style at Fairyhouse
I think that's our six winner of this race but none were better than him - he'd be the best by a long way,. He's won a Group 2 so the next step would have to be a Group 1 whether that is this year or next. We'll look at the Racing Post Trophy and Dewhurst, I would personally love to see him run in the Dewhurst. He has a lot of scope and could be a Guineas horse next year.
Blanco has to battle in Futurity
Rhine gets it right at Fairyhouse
It's well deserved as he's been knocking on the door,. He's just got caught on his last two starts over further and we'll campaign him between seven and a mile. Hopefully the handicap is not too hard on him.
Alandi relishes soft ground in Ballycullen
He's a different horse when the ground is soft - mind you he was a bit Flat last time at Leopardstown,. The plan was to go for the Doncaster Cup as we were looking forward to stretching him out over a longer distance. If it looks like being heavy he could run in the Irish St Leger, however. Although if it was good he could miss both.
