Dorkas one for horses for courses punters
It was a bit of a gamble running her. If we could have pulled her out on Friday we would have but there was no change in ground or anything. She ran a cracker in Cork. She's had three runs here now and it's two wins and a second so it's horses for courses. She's tough and genuine. It was hard not to run today with just four runners. She'll need a little break after that. We'll see how she is after that, we'll go back chasing anyway but if a hurdle turns up we'll see what the handicapper does. She was a few pounds wrong there but experience is a big help.
Conaire collects back up in trip
It wasn't far enough for him the last day. We're delighted and he was in great form coming today,. Once he got a clear round we were expecting that he'd win today. He needs every inch of the two-and-a-half and probably wants even further than that but he finds a nice turn of foot off two-and-a-half. We might freshen him up now and try and find a race towards the end of the week in Galway for him.

Mullins sets new record for amateur riders
I thought she might win easier. I thought she maybe didn't handle the track and the ground. I think she'll come on a lot from it and I think she's better than the bare result. She battled all the way to the line but she was kind of leaning off the bends and I felt she maybe didn't let herself down on the ground. It's quite quick out there. Sligo used to be on the slow side but now that they've put the drainage in it's quick like all the other tracks. I think with a bit more juice she'd probably let herself down a bit more.
