Kaid D'authie back on track after Navan fall
He’s a lovely big, long-striding horse who has very little respect for his hurdles and looks like he could be more of a chaser. He’s a big chasing type and is a similar to Majborough. They both cover a huge amount of ground when they gallop. I’d say he’ll come back here for the Dublin Racing Festival and take on the top two-milers and we’ll see where he is then.
Giant Haystacks leaves rivals on the canvas
We all had gloomy faces after being beaten in Clonmel the last day but it’s all worked out for the best. . He’s a nice horse and came recommended from Aubrey McMahon and Aidan Fitzgerald. . All the lads (Keep It Simple Syndicate) are from Clane and are a great bunch of lads and they will have great crack in Clane tonight!
Dee Capo opens chase account in a thriller
He’s a nice horse and was running a good race the last day in Navan when he made the mistake and fell two out. He can go out in trip and he showed a good attitude galloping out to the line.
Home By The Lee continues ‘dream’ run for Joseph O’Brien
Galopin Des Champs rules supreme once more at Leopardstown
That was some performance. He put in some fantastic jumps and to win the way he did after giving the other horse a lead the whole way was one of the best performances I have ever seen around here. It’s frightening to think he could still be improving and hopefully he hasn’t left his whole season behind him, but what a great day and a great atmosphere with people all around the parade ring. He’s done it the hard way and jumped out in front today.
Roche's handicapper not losing many this season
He jumped well and got a lovely ride. . The step up in trip helped him and it’s great to get a winner. He was bred by my mother as well so it’s a great day. . The option is open to run in the Final now, so we’ll see. We’ll talk to J.P. and Frank (Berry) and see what they want to do.
