O'Sullivan & Harney combine to land Downpatrick opener
A good run the last day and I suppose he deserved to be the price he was. . Loads of experience and I'd say when he came to us his work had been nice. I really fancied him the first day he ran and he ran terribly and was beaten 50 lengths on very heavy ground. . His best runs have been on this surface and I presume that's what he likes - he was second the last day in Ballinrobe on good ground. . I'd say the key to him probably nice ground so we will keep him going now for the summer, the fact that he is handling it well. . He had a couple of real good runs with Mags (Mullins) and a real good run behind Harvard Guy in Navan one day. I spoke to Mags the other day and she thought the same that a nicer surface just helps him. . He stays well and probably wants a trip, I'd say three miles is right up his alley. Today was even sharp enough for him - it didn't look plain sailing and I was getting nervous, but he won really well in the end. . He'll be good fun for the summer and he might go to Galway.
Little Trilby cuts a dash under Coen
Kinirons' mare wins unchallenged
She's actually in foal to In Swoop and she loves it here - that is her third win here. She also has a win in Down Royal, so she likes the north. . Kevin gave her a great ride, he was a late sub. He was actually meant to ride her a few months ago and he got injured. He's a natural talent and I thought of him for her before. It is his first ride for us but he is very good. . I just told him to let her roll away, so it was the plan. He said that she was keen early, so he just let her on. Being in foal I'd say helped her, she looks great. We'll keep racing away as she is only just in foal. . She has got black-type over jumps and she's a tough mare. She is back well in herself. We will pick and choose and mix with the Flat. We might travel and I think we will leave Kevin on board.
Run For Harry scoots in for Callaghan
Rauzan and Morgan a useful partnership
Sexton times it to perfection to complete double
He is a grand horse and I actually don't think he is ungenuine, I think he barely gets a trip. He does idle a little in front, but I think fences will be the making of him. He will just be able to hang on and travel a bit longer. Hurdles maybe leave him a bit flat out. . I wouldn't say he had much in hand!
