Nephrite makes impressive debut
First time in that ground you couldn't be sure but he got through it,. He was just ready to start and was working nicely at home. He could be a horse for something like the (Group 3) Killavullan (Leopardstown 30th October). He got six furlongs well there even though he is a half-brother to a very quick horse. He travelled well throughout the race and is a good moving horse.
Maarek times it well
That was super. He deserved to get a premier handicap as he's been knocking on the door,. Wayne was absolutely super on him. We'll find a Listed race for him now. There is one over six here in a few weeks (Waterford Testimonial October 9th). He's a typical Pivotal in that he wants soft ground.
Wave holds sway in Weld Stakes
She loves that ground. She's changed a lot as she was a little bit free in the spring on her second run,. As of late she's gone the other way and is very relaxed. It opens up a lot of doors and I wouldn't be surprised if she got 1m4f next year. Declan said to me that he was sure he had me worried but always had a little bit up his sleeve. She was idling a bit. She had been a little free in the spring and the staff have done a great job settling her. She's still a little bit on the weak side and will go home to Grangecon now for the winter.
Kid just gets home to land touch
I hope it's the start of a good week for Danny as he goes on the boat tonight over to Alan King,. He's going until Christmas. He can still claim for a while in England. I think he has about four or five winners left.
