Light That makes all in Cork opener
Tiger makes it two from two over flights
Two and a half miles could be his trip and going faster would suit him better. He dropped him in at Gowran but today was a cat-and-mouse race. He's a chaser in the making and I'll probably drop him back to 2m 4f next time.
Fitz flies home under jet-setting Walsh
I landed ten minutes early this morning, at 8.20am, dropped Gillian (wife) home and headed here.
Draycott takes the feature at Cork
We'll try and win another big handicap chase and either himself or Kylecrue will run in the Paddy Power (at Leopardstown). I knew he had a serious chance and he could go to Galway for a 2m 1f handicap chase in a few weeks. He's only a young horse being a seven year old and I think he is nearly as good as Foildubh (stablemate). Foildubh was only beaten seven or eight lengths in the Lexus Chase so has a bit to go to beat him yet but the beautiful thing is that he can run anywhere between two and three miles. My horses are holding their form well but the likes of Draycott Place and Kylecrue are proper horses.
American hero Ruby seals Cork double
he didn’t jump well at Clonmel but jumped well today and got his confidence back together. I think we could try 2m6f with him again and he looked today like he would go further. His pedigree suggests like he won’t be a middle of winter horse and it’s grand that he is winning now.
Lewis a welcome winner for Nolan
We thought a lot of him initially but he was quite keen in his maiden hurdles and it was my mistake running him on deep winter ground. He'll run in something similar next and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on him as he only just got up to win.
Morgan completes double for Elliott
He's a grand horse but is still raw and he might stay in bumpers this year. He's a nice horse but he's only a baby and I'll chat with the lads and he could go wait to go hurdling next season.
