Tisadream spot on for de Bromhead and Blackmore
Nolan well pleased to put win on the board for owner Donohoe
The better ground and the tongue strap helped. She was getting stuck in winter ground and just didn't have the ability on it. Hopefully she will stay on the go over the summer, she is a big fine mare,. She is owned by Padraig Donohoe who is a great man and has been in the yard for years. He was very unlucky to lose a lovely mare (Earthiest Words) in Fairyhouse last season. She was a very, very good mare and was second to Minella Melody at Cork. This mare won't be the same level but it's great that she won.
Hustler brings up de Bromhead double
Busy Molly lands hefty punt in fine style
I just want to thank the lads that own her (Kilbriens Syndicate), they have been very patient. Most of them are local to Dungarvan and they are thirteen of my friends who come from all sorts of careers, nurses, farmers, undertakers, all sorts of jobs,. This has been a lucky spot for us. Glendine River won four times for us here. It wasn't always the plan to run her both days. I just wanted to run her here with the syndicate being local. With the balloting system I didn't think she'd get in today. We ran her yesterday in a maiden hurdle which wasn't ideal but she finished really well. The fact she got in today we just said we may as well run her. I've no plan for her now. There is a meeting here in July and if there is a race suitable, she will go for that. I have just her in training and we are dairy farmers.
33/1 Tramore double for Hayes
Brian was very brave on her going to the last. He asked her a serious question and I was wondering was it a champion chase on the line or what. He had huge confidence in her. He had a couple of other well-fancied rides in the race but he elected to ride her and he was handsomely rewarded,. She seems a natural over fences. I was wondering would her rating over hurdles be good enough to win it. She handled that ground nicely and will keep going for the summer. I think we will try to make hay when the sun shines.
Well-backed Friend completes double for Nolan
That's a nice double and I'm delighted with his performance. He won a maiden hurdle on his first start and hadn't won since. We were trying him out at different trips and he didn't seem to stay on softer ground. He stopped a couple of times when it looked like he was travelling very well. Three miles on that ground is what he wants. He stays all day and hopefully he won’t go up too much for that, Jordan's claim has put him down to a very light weight today. He is not over big but he is sound and jumps well. We will see what he will develop into.
