McCreery has a grand servant in Love
Wayne gave her a very good ride. I never feared anything but I thought Ahaaly might improve. She's run over five before and won twice over six so I wasn't worried about the trip, I was more concerned that she was getting to the end of her tether.
Chinese winner at Dundalk
That was nice. It's the first horse for the Chinese connections (Zhang Yuesheng). We've always liked her though it took a long time to get a name for her. She's the business - she's nice. Mick Donohue (BBA Ireland) - 40K (Goffs Open Yearling Sale last October) got her for me.
The Reaper earns ticket to Dubai
Lyons and McNamara double up at Dundalk
She's a big green gawky filly. It will be a good experience for her. She came from the breeze-ups and knew more than most. That's the first winner in those colours (Qatar Racing Limited) which is very important. She'll go for a Stakes race next.
Some compo for Tipp men at Dundalk
Crowne Plaza rivals can't manage Xsquared
They are all mathematicians. They are mostly from Dublin but some are from Kildare. Three of them are here today. He is a very giddy sort of horse. He is in at Gowran and Bellewstown during the week but he needs better ground and it may be that he'll be hurdling next.
Free Spin comes with a late rattle
He didn't get the clearest of runs. He likes the surface and on his form was entitled to win. He's very genuine and straightforward. He'll go handicapping and to the horses in training sale.
Muck just holds on in the last
He's a very good horse. He's a stakes horse. (MG & EM)
