Eriskay knows where the winning post is
It was very close! She's a gorgeous filly, she's homebred and is the first foal out of a mare from a nice family we have. It's a nice start for the mare. We'll have a crack at a Listed or Group race with her next. She just got up there and needs to go seven furlongs. She showed the speed to win over five-and-a-half there but ideally seven would be her trip. She's a lovely filly and please God she'll just get better.

Benevolent rewards her backers in Navan
She did that well, she just got stuck in the mud at Sligo the last day,. That quick ground is important to her and she'll get a little bit further as well, she was staying on well. She won snug enough in the end and I'm delighted with her. We'll look for another nursery on quick ground. We'll probably still have it next weekend.
Up Above puts it all together
Keane seals century on 'nap of the day'
We're delighted that we were the ones to give Colin his ton up. This horse was our nap of the day going racing as his work has improved in the last month. He'll get a mile-and-a-quarter no problem. He was very green so the race will bring him on. He handled that ground no problem and will get further so there is a lot of improvement in him. We'll look for a winners race for him.
Li Mu Bai powers home under Carroll
That was grand. It's actually his first time going left-handed on turf, he can be a little bit quirky,. He ran twice in Galway and then ran back in a juvenile hurdle in Ballinrobe, where it was probably just all a bit much for him. We freshened him up after that. I wouldn't rule out going for a hurdle with him again but I think we'll stick with the Flat for the moment.
Celestial Horizon in dominant form at Navan
Keane doubles his money on Dollar Value
Colin was very good on him. He went a fair old clip until the end of the back straight and then gave him a nice breather over the hill. He kept at it very well. He's a right horse on his day, I know it's a low grade. Jumping is his game but I just thought that there was another one of these in him. He does handle a dig in the ground as well, so we'll keep going until the ground turns heavy. We're tempted to go for a chase again next and we'll give him a little bit of jumping over the next couple of weeks.
