Youcantcallherthat repaying Hogan's faith

She couldn't win a hurdle race but won a point-to-point for me and I stopped the boys from selling her. I said she'd win plenty of chases and thank god she is repaying me now,. That's a good pot and she probably go into the mares' novice races at some stage. She got a fall in Wexford which may not have done her any harm and now she's jumping super. We won 23 lengths in Cork but I didn't know how solid the race was. I threw her in a handicap to see where we were, and I said to the boys it was such a good pot that we had to take our chance.

Nama'd strikes again at Fairyhouse

He could come back here for the Dan Moore in January. He won it before. He did that well,. I have him since about June. Sandra (Hughes) had him before and did a good job with him because he won this race and another valuable one here. Things are going well but I know the other side of things as well!

Discorama gets up on line to pip Blow

I didn't think he'd be ready for that but he's a fair horse. The bumper he ran in at Thurles didn't work out that great but the ground wasn't that soft that day and it all happened a bit quick for him,. He loves jumping. He was actually quite keen in the race but he wouldn't pick up the bridle at home. I couldn't get over that he was so keen. Saddler Maker seems to be some sire and they just don't know when to stop galloping. It looks like he's a nice horse and hopefully he'll kick on from there.

Midnight digs deep to take rated contest

He was workmanlike in the finish and the other horse was coming back at him. They didn't go a great gallop and I'd say that suited him,. There is another one like this at Punchestown next Sunday, and we'll see how he is during the week.
