Baladiya dashes home in Foxrock
It was quite a nice performance. She battled well and got a good ride from Chris. We'll look for a handicap with her. She's been a consistent filly. A stiff six to seven is what she wants.
Hazapour brings up Weld's double in Leopardstown
Hamariyna claims Guineas Trial in style
You'd be delighted with her. She's real professional and Ronan said she travelled really well and got there plenty soon enough but it was just the way the race unfolded,. She stayed at it well to the line. She's improving rapidly and we're delighted with her. I'll talk to Pat Downes and to his Highness and see what their thoughts are. She's not in the Guineas or anything so we'll have to have a talk about it and see. I'd say the further she goes the better she'll be. I was a bit worried about coming back to a mile but I felt on the day it worth taking a chance when I saw the race. We always felt she'd want, and get, further.
Broome delivers in Derby Trial at Leopardstown
We're delighted. He's lazy and that's his way of racing. Donnacha wanted to put him in there and race around tight on the rail. If he's going to the Derby that's what could happen him. We were very happy. He's lovely and lazy and responds only when you want him. I think going to the line he was starting to stretch.
Bercasa strikes back on level at Leopardstown
She got 123 over hurdles and I gave her a run in Punchestown but I knew it was going to be a tall order in a handicap. It was just out of her comfort zone,. Niall (McCullagh) rode her here the last day and she just got a run on him. He said there as no way he'd ever make the running on her again and that she needs dropped in. He said she should win if she's dropped in the next day. I was delighted it worked out that way. Leigh was cool and Minnie Haha came off the rail. She'll mix it now. She wouldn't want it firm, or even good to firm. She wants comfortable ground like that. She might make up into a Galway Hurdle mare.
O'Brien boots home brace on board King's Vow
He won well. The form of the race in Navan worked out well and that was a good race I'd say. It was an extremely messy race. Donnacha moved up halfway and it made plenty of sense, he could strike then whenever he wanted.
Il Paradiso seals O'Brien's treble in nightcap
We're delighted with him and he stays well. He obviously gets a mile-and-a-half really well and he'll get further. He will progress a good bit and he might even get a mile-and-six. He'll be a horse that I'd say come Leger time he'll be coming into his own. He stays very well and I'd say he'll step into stakes company now. I was delighted with the second horse too.
