Elimay goes a place better than at Cheltenham
It was hard work and she might have been feeling the effects of Cheltenham but she got the job done anyway so that was nice,. We'll have a look at Punchestown but I think she's probably done enough for the season. We'll see how she comes out of this. I just said to Mark there that on dryer ground she probably wants three miles.
"Close call" and Lalor delivers
It was a close call as I said to Eddie (O'Leary) at 9.50am that I couldn't get anyone to ride him and we'd be better not running him,. Suddenly it dawned on me to try Liz, who had rode in a few bumpers for me. She said she was supposed to be riding for Colin Motherway and only rang back at 9.57am to say she could ride. He was fresh and he jumped great for her. He's a funny horse as he doesn't like it fast and doesn't like it soft. She said even when he went into a softish patch she could feel him coming back underneath her. He's had an easy time because the ground was heavy and it worked out well.
Double for Mullins as Lady swoops late
I think the ground was a big help to her as she just wasn't getting home on winter ground. I'm very happy for her owner Mark Dobbin. Danny gave a her a great ride. He found himself a little further out than he wanted and he kept it all for one long run down the outside which was fantastic rather than trying to get mixed up with the other horses. I was very happy for him.
Hearts Are Trumps puts broad smile on McDonogh’s face
He deserved that. He's a smashing horse. He's very professional and jumped great. You can see the muck on his heels there and he'd even like it better. The ground made a huge difference today. He even went to Listowel after Galway last year and he was dead in the straight. He's the only horse I have around the place, I have ten in.
Party Central an important winner for Codd
She's lovely. She was entitled to do that after Leopardstown and she did it nicely,. Jamie's head was on the block as he had her from the word go, he won the bumper on her for the Motherways. He was glad that he put the right mare in. She's absolutely lovely and the world is her oyster. There is a Grade 3 for her in Punchestown and she'll make a lovely novice hurdler next year. She's jumped already and she's brilliant. She's very exciting and I'm delighted for the Morans (owners).
