Leap Dearg a significant winner for Brouder
We have him a couple of years and bought him hoping he'd turn into a nice horse but he lost his way when he got higher in the ratings. We had given up on him and basically I kept him for the young lads in the yard to get going and to give them rides. We found that by going back hurdling he got a bit of confidence. I was always keeping an eye out for a chase that would suit him and it worked out great. He was awarded a race in Clonmel but today is also my wife Sarah's (daughter of Galway Race Committee Honorary Member Pauline Gavin) first actual winner. That was great to see today and the horse and jockey have now improved together.

Byrnes' Coral winner belies market drift for a McManus '2-1'
he loved the ground and was working well so it was no surprise. We were expecting a big run so it's great to have him back. There's no real plan but he'll stay hurdling and he will stick to handicaps for another bit.
For Pedro wins at 10/1 for Coopers
He had plenty of goes but got there eventually. He was always knocking on the door and had a nice run back at Listowel from getting a leg. He improved plenty from then and we were just waiting for an ease in the ground. He got a leg twice in the past and we'll keep going now and hopefully he stays sound. There could be another in him over hurdles before the goes over fences.
