Purple Mountain takes Grade 3 honours
Saldier makes all in Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle
It was a good performance and I suppose he was entitled to do that. It was always going to be a competitive race but the fitness edge was a help to him. He was a bit fiddly at the second last but three strides later he picked up again. He’s shown a good spark and hopefully he can go on. He once promised to be a real good horse and hopefully he can make steps back towards that.
Brides Hill clearly on the upgrade
She was third reserve in the Lartigue (at Listowel) and I was gutted she didn’t get in. Looking at the way she did that today she might have been a player in it. She’s only a four-year-old and whether she’s able for real winter ground I’m not sure, but she’ll certainly handle a bit more ease than there is there today. It was too quick for her the last day.
Rambling Rose routs her opposition
She seems to stay forever. She was second at Navan the last day and was staying on again at the line. I’m delighted for Dave O’Sullivan who is with me a good while. He’s a great owner to have and leaves it to me. It depends on the ground what we do with her now and we might get to Cork with her in a fortnight. JJ said that ground was her limit and she wouldn’t want it any softer.
