Bolger's charge a Clear Cut winner
His form was there but I was worried about the ground. He did handle it though and will stay further,”
English strikes at Cork again with Tribal
I was hoping he'd do that as he was racing off 61 today compared to his all-weather mark of 68 and Donagh was taking another seven off,” . I had this race in mind for him since January as I won it last year (with Cash Or Casualty), knew he'd handle the ground and I thought Tribal Path was a similar type of horse.
Jet off the mark for Keatley
We picked her up at a horses in training sale last year and she was a good third in a Listed race in France,”
Sun scores in the mud
Burkes score with Athloman
Heartbreak too much for rivals
That was not unexpected because he's a good horse and loves that ground. I didn't think he'd do it that well though,” . I thought the mile and two would be a bit sharp for him as he won over two miles, but because of the ground it rode like a 1m6f race. I'm delighted with him and he'll have to step up now because definitely he'll have to get seven or eight (pounds) for winning today. He's not good enough for a black-type race though.
Harzand impressive in Cork finale
He was very green on his first run when it was all very new to him but he learned from that and matured over the winter,” . It was very testing out there and as a result it was hard to be positive about any horse given the conditions but he won nicely. We won't get carried away just yet but hopefully he'll be a nice horse for the rest of the year and he'll go up to a mile and a half before too long. We'll wait and see before making plans.
