West proves best under Gilligan in Molony Cup

This is my first winner for a good few years (January 2004) so it is nice to get it - Eoghan (son, previous license holder and now manager of Cork Racecourse) got a promotion!. Toofareastiswest had a good long break before he came back in October and he has improved every day. He deserved his turn and will go for something similar. We need to get the ground and the distance for him so we'll see what's available.

Willywampus not for passing as Harvey loses claim

Mullins renews old alliance with Costello clan

We thought this was a decent horse so we . The horse had finished six lengths second to Fact To File in a point-to-point and I thought if he went back to that form he'd have a chance. His jumping was exceptional which helped him get where he got, and won with a lot in hand. I didn't know who was behind me but after passing the line I could hear Paul (Townend) say 'well done'. I couldn't believe it and it is great that mam and dad are here - mam was the one who pushed to keep the horse despite offers coming in. Myself and dad have had good luck selling horses in recent years and I love it. I try to keep my weight under control and watch it as much as I can.

Birdie Or Bust takes advantage of Fun Fun Fun stumble

Obviously we got a bit of luck but she ran really well and we were delighted with her. She definitely wasn't herself in the north the last day but looked back to herself today with the way she jumped and travelled. She didn't seem herself in Down Royal. We will get her home and see what everyone would like to do. She has options and is lovely mare.

Ninth win for Pakens Rock

Easy Fella impresses on De Bromhead debut

He stays well and is a really nice horse. He jumps well despite making a few little mistakes down the back straight but we can work on that. He really galloped all the way to the line and anything over hurdles is a bonus as with the size and scope of him, he looks like a chaser all over. Dermot (Cunningham) and the lads sent him in to us and I'm delighted for them.

Femme Magnifique completes across the card four-timer for Mullins

She did that very well. I am happy she showed her true colours on the race track as things haven't gone right with her in the autumn. I took a chance and ran her and she has done it well. I imagine she will stick to bumpers rather than going jumping as she can do that next season.
