Carlisle Bay forges on in Tipperary
Lyons seals another winner with Maker Of Kings
Sam is doing well for us, he is a really good addition this year and is fitting in really well. Since Ger released him (to ride for outside yards) he is getting plenty of experience and is very fit and for a young lad he knows his homework. We like Maker Of Kings; he was a bit feminine but has grown into himself, it has taken him this time but he will be a nice horse next year. Hopefully he'll stay on the team for us next year and I think he will winter well. He went on that ground but I think he is one of those horses who will go on any ground. I think he'll get a bit further as well. We know our horses' limits and know when to move them on and sell, but he is a horse we'd like to keep on the team.
Sweet Gardenia knows how to win at big odds
She is a very smart filly but ran a small bit flat and we were disappointed with her at Leopardstown. She was a bit fat after it and we freshened her up afterwards and she was very good there. The Ballyhane race was also a nice race to win and we're delighted to win this Listed race and hopefully there will be plenty more to come with her. There are a couple of races she could run in later this year but she'll be a lovely filly for next year too.
McGuinness wins Concorde Stakes with Current Option
that's my first Group winner on the grass; it's so easy after 20 years!. This is brilliant and is great for the lads; this horse keeps improving and we've had so much fun with him. It is great for the Dooley brothers in England and the late Bart O'Sullivan was a great supporter too and only for them I wouldn't be here. He wasn't a cheap horse (85,000gns at Tattersalls in July 2019) but he has well and truly covered himself long before today and today we are in bonus territory. We'll see what's on the agenda in Ireland but more than likely he will go out foreign to the the middle east for some of their festivals. We haven't killed him with racing this year either way and we'll sit back and think about things now.
In-form Sheer Bravado obliges again
Murphy seeking sale for recent dual winner Angel Palanas
I've no race in mind next but he might go to the sales. He has a great constitution, his wind is great and I think there are still more races to be won with him.
