Hayes off the mark on Choisi
He's a good horse and looks a nice sprinter,. We'll look at a Listed event next. We'll see what the handicapper does. Chris said he was doing nothing in front.
Maarek at home over flying five
He did it well and will hopfully improve off that. That's his trip,.
Fire takes hold late on
She's a grand filly. Wayne said she ran very green but he was quite impressed with her. There should be plenty of improvement,.
Fame has to work for Crop Glory
I'm happy with that and he'll come on plenty from it,. There are three races we're looking at for him. The Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh over 1m2f, the Coronation Cup (at Epsom) over 1m4f and the Saval Beg (at Leopardstown) over 1m 6f. Depending on which one he goes for it will dictate what his plans are for the year.
Siren a boost for Harrington
I thought her first run was really good. She settled well today even in light of the delay,. She's entered in the English and Irish Oaks and we'll look for another 1m 2f race for her next. She didn't mind the ground but is such a light mover that she'll be better on better ground. Fran said she would be even better over a mile-and-a-half.
Sam strikes again on Spirit
She ran well last time and the extra two furlongs helped today,. She had nothing to spare at the end so it was a good job we had Sam's claim.
One-two for Oxx in finale
He won well enough from a bad old draw. He was drawn that wide it was in a different parish!. I'll probably put him in a good race now and see where I stand with him. We could look at the Derrinstown Derby Trial. The second horse ran well and a mile-and-a-half maiden will suit him next.
