Vinnie too strong for rivals
I have to pay tribute to his breeder Padraig O’Donovan who only passed away two months ago,. This was the first horse in my yard, and he’s a very special horse to me. He’s been left to the three lads in the syndicate. He’s been unlucky a few times and has always been there or thereabouts. Rachael rides most of mine, and she’s good and does what she’s told.
Elliott scores for family and friends
My first winner in Ireland was for this (Barstool Prophets) syndicate with Toran Road here (in 2007). My father, mother, uncle and a few friends are involved,. He’ll mix it between the flat and hurdles. He’s not bred for this as he’s a half-brother to Authorized.
Whatever returns to form for Madden family
He has ability but doesn’t always show it. I was hoping he’d run well, and the handicapper gave him a chance to run in a lower grade. He’s been a good old money-spinner, and will continue to mix it between hurdles and the flat.
Hell proves hot on first start for De Bromhead
Walsh shines on Down Under
He’s been some servant, and is a right one to have. We could do with a few more like him. He loves it around here (third course and distance win), and we’ll have to think about the Midlands National now. He’s really honest and genuine.
