Dashing Daisy impresses on debut at Wexford
Lee eyes Galway for in-form Sole Pretender
He is progressing away nicely and taking every step at a time. We are very pleased with him. He will get 10 days off now and he'll do a bit of swimming and we'll bring him to the beach. He'll go back to Ballinrobe at the end of next month for a 50,000 euro race (the McHale Mayo Hurdle). All going well that is where he will go. He is doing his job well. We might bring him to Galway and he could run on the flat too. He seems to have enough gears for the flat.
Colenso a welcome track winner for Flavin
We were hoping he'd run well. It was his first run in a handicap and he is after having a couple of nice runs in maidens but just wasn't good enough for them. We will get over today before making a plan. Miracle Cure was the last horse the syndicate had and we lost him here last year. The syndicate went to the sales the next week and picked up this lad. My son John does most of the training and we'd mostly have point-to-pointers.
Trenchtown does it again at Wexford
They say you should always drill where you got the oil and that's why we came back to Wexford. He does like tight, left-handed tracks. We will probably look at Killarney for him now, there is a meeting coming up there in May, or he could go to Tipperary. He might run on the flat too and mix it between the two.
Cloudy Morning continues love affair with Wexford
We have been lucky this week as we've been involved in two photo finishes and have come out the right side of both. We've had plenty of seconds this year so I'm delighted to get the couple of winners. He is a grand little horse and Liam gave him a brilliant ride. He was very tough. I forgot to tell Liam beforehand to go a nice gallop on him and, as it turned out, he probably didn't go quick enough but he won anyway so I'm delighted. We said we'd try and bounce out and make all. We will enter him in the three mile seven handicap chase at Punchestown next week. It's 0-145 and he'd have nine stone eleven in it. He is from a good, staying family and so he should stay. We'll have a crack at that.
Commandant leads home 1, 2 for O'Brien
Flanagan seals his brace on Double Windsor
He was a stone higher than when he first won over fences and I thought the ground was too dead for him. I said to Sean whatever chance he has just to try and creep away on him. It shows how much I know about training!. When he is on a going day he is very good at his own level. He seems to be improving with time.
Queally doubles up in Wexford with Uisce Solas
That was brilliant, it's my first double on the track. It's great for her owner Anthony Murphy who had put a lot of money and time into her. She was a bit leery when she hit the front but she had plenty left. She is in at Punchestown next Wednesday. If the owners want a day out we might chance it because it wasn't an overly hard race for her today. We might be able to get black type with her. Her sister wasn't beaten far in a black type race two weeks ago. Tommy Kiely, John's nephew, owns the broodmare and they look a decent family. The mother was very decent and bolted up in a 30-runner bumper at Navan.
