Sixth win for Coral Creek
This filly is owned by my son Michael and it's her fourth win around her and her sixth career win. She's for sale, we've schooled her over hurdles. She's not very big but she's very strong and we've no immediate plans for her.
Murphy's good run continues
The five pound claim from Danny Mullins was a big help as we were giving away a lot of weight to the younger horses. He delivered in style today., . He was bought to go hurdling and he's improving all of the time. I think he'll have a very bright future over hurdles (Easyfix Hurdles) as the owner Tom Howley is involved with Easyfix. The horses are running very well at the moment and that's as a result of the change in ground. All of our horses need good ground. We've known all season that we have a lovely bunch of horses and we're just reaping the rewards now.
Kelly records first winner
I'm delighted to have trained my first winner. I have four horses in training at the moment. This fellow might go to Dundalk next week if he comes out of the race well. There's a chance we might send him over hurdles. Although he has been with many trainers, he's never actually run over hurdles. He's been well schooled and he jumps very well. The trip is a little bit of a worry but he appeared to settle well today.

Frutti Tutti takes last
Fran gave her a tremendous ride. It's great to win again with her and the owners flew over from London this morning. The owners flew into Knock Airport but I didn't know of any taxi's in the area so I the local undertaker to give them a lift.
