Impressive Daughter In Law could be headed for Royal Ascot
She's finally shown what she had been showing us early on in her preparations,. We thought going to Dundalk for her first run she only had to turn up and go but we met a smart filly of Willie (McCreery's). She's improved with every run and her form is stacking up all the time. She just has blistering speed and on the quick ground today it was a matter of getting her out, let her run and point and shoot. She's done the job very well. A fast five is what she wants, she has blinding speed and kept going. Conditions suited her today as well in an auction maiden as she had only 8-1 on her back and she made use of that. She made a lot of supposedly decent horses work. Back a month ago we were saying we were heading to the Queen Mary. It might be jumping things a bit too much but it's a possibility. We'll think about Ascot and there's a future for her anyway.
Blairmayne gives his connections a big day out
Killian gave him a brilliant ride. He was a bit unlucky last time at Naas as he got no run,. We were hoping for a very good run today and we were pretty confident. He loves it here and he loved the ground today, it was good safe ground. The biggest aim for us would be to win a premier handicap here and we'll look at the Scurry and Bold Lad again for him. He was placed in both last year. He has proven he's competitive at that level so we'll keep trying. He always runs his best and always gives you a nice day out. He's just amazing and it's great to have him. It's amazing to win on a classic day and I have no words to describe the feeling. It's one of the biggest days and for a small yard like ours it makes all the hard work worth it. It's really brilliant. We're based in a little yard just outside Banbridge and have nine horses at the moment. We have few young horses that we're looking forward to running as they are shaping well.
