Byrnes lands gamble at Leopardstown
We bred her ourselves and he's the last foal out of the mare. We will probably go chasing with him next season.
Ebaziyan books his ticket to Cheltenham
I'm delighted with that and we'll probably run him in the Champion Hurdle now. I didn't think he'd jump well enough to compete but he's in great form and he loves the track. We will go flat racing with him this Summer and put his chasing career on hold.
Hughes in double form
She wants good ground, she finished well on both of her last two runs in the straight when she got the better ground. I'd like to see her go over to Cheltenham for the Mares Hurdle. She wants 2 ¿ miles.
Perfect birthday present for Geraghty
Ross [Geraghty] has been a lucky jockey for me, he gave him a great ride and was very strong on him all the way to the line. I don't know what happened this horse but he seems to be getting back to himself. He was nearly sold but he let out a few coughs so he wasn't sold in the end. He'd have no problem in getting 3 miles, he doesn't like the quick ground and hopefully he'll go for a novice chase at Punchestown.
Mullins saddles 100th winner of the season
He probably deserved that, he was a little unlucky over fences here the last day. We will try and win another novice race with him and everything going well we'll head to Fairyhouse and Punchestown with him.
Universal Truth impresses at Leopardstown
He did it nicely, I'm pleased for Dr Lambe and we'll speak to him as he's three nice horses that all have entries for the Cheltenham Bumper and we'll see how they are and make a decision then. It's a nice position to be in, if the ground is good we might run two but if the ground is testing we'll only run one.
