Curtis wins opener at Gowran Park
He has always being working well enough at home and it was a good performance. He probably would like the ground a bit quicker than it was today. He could step up to a mile or a mile and a quarter.
Moran/Harley score at Gowran Park
That was a grand win, he's probably that grade and hopefully we'll be able to pick up another one. He wants top of the ground. It was a nice present for the owner Paul Clarke who hasn't had a winner since 1986.
Oxx completes Gowran double
He's lazy at home but he seemed to wake up when he got to the track. He's a nice horse and there's a bit of speed in his pedigree. It looked to be a nice maiden and he did it well.
Collins completes across the card double
She's a nice filly, she always had the makings of a nice filly. We'll probably go for a winner's of one next. Michael [Hussey] gave her a brilliant ride, he had to do all of the donkey work and she kept on well for him.
Beggy wins aboard Dilinata
Bolger in form at Gowran Park
Hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on her and we'll get another opportunity. She'd probably get ten furlongs, she's a nice big filly and will probably go jumping in time. She would also make a lovely brood mare, she has plenty of prospects.
Murphy on the mark at Gowran
I think he got a bit sick of hurdling and the change in ground really suited him. He got a bit jarred up the last day he ran over hurdles. He'll mix it with flat and hurdles as long as he gets his ground.
Redzer takes last at Gowran
That was a bit of a surprise, we were going to give up on him, but fair play to the owner who kept going. The owner is Corinna Grehan and she is from Athlone. She also bred this fellow herself.
