"Raw and still green" but Ballydoyle's Mohawk is getting there
Black type now the aim for McCreery's Spirit
Kindly justifies good support at Cork
That’s why Colin is champion jockey, and it’s a privilege to get his services when I can. He rode her like a bit of work and followed his lead horse. He kicked and slipped the field a bit, and then just idled a bit. The last day in Navan Donagh (O’Connor) said the five was quick enough and she lost her balance a bit but he looked after her. This race fell lovely as it was a flat track over six furlongs. We were quietly confident coming down. We’ll get her home now and she will tell me when she’s ready to go again.

Cork Derby goes to Sea The Lion in a thriller
He just barely does enough to get there the whole time, and I thought it was very fine today. He’s tough out and Ronan said he just keeps finding and finding for him. It was a lovely ride by Ronan again even though he was drawn out wide. He was able to get his run the whole way and didn’t get stopped. It’s nice to have a Derby to add to the CV! Last year he needed time between races but he’s a different horse this year. He’s more lively at home and showing he’s more up for the game. We’ll see what the weather does as he needs genuine good ground not firm.
3 for Aidan and 2 for Donnacha at Cork
He'd a good run the last day. He's not the most straight forward, and he can hang a bit, but he has plenty of ability,.
