Career Move in front at Cork
That's my fifth winner and I've had two here before. This mare was always very talented but she can be a bit difficult. She has always had loads of speed. She has quite a nice handicap mark but I don't know where she'll go from here. It is hard to get everything right with her.
New Phase bolts up in Cork hurdle
He did it well. It was a good competitive race and he won well. He jumped and travelled well. Two miles three was slightly beyond him at Naas last time and back over two here he's won nicely. He enjoyed the ease in the ground and as a winner of five races now he owes me nothing. I'll talk to Dad now but I might put him away and school him over fences with a view to going chasing in the New Year.
Ainama back to form at Cork
He liked the trip and the ease in the ground and everyone is happy. I've no plans for him now, he'll run away there in three-milers.
Elysian Rock wins on 2nd chase start
He came on a lot from Thurles and he never put a foot wrong there. Hopefully he'll win a few more.
Revelling best under Doran
She'll go for a little handicap over three miles at Christmas now.
Glance gains reward for consistency
She has been frustrating but she has got there at last. She has been very consistent and she is a very good jumper for a flat-bred filly. She is in the sales next week and we'll see about that. She goes on heavy ground and the drop in class here was a help.
River finally gets there
He has lived up to expectations. It's hard luck on the other chap (David Kiely who rode him at Galway) as he just ran into trouble there.
