Shanpallas reigns supreme at Limerick
Is Quevega going to go with me?
Patience works with Leah Claire
She was bang in at the ratings and the handicapper can't touch her. She did what we expected her to do, but she wasn't suited by there being no pace. She has a type of rating whereby you would be tempted to run her every week, but I decided to wait for today. She'll go for a good two and a half mile handicap hurdle at Punchestown next. She is as honest as you could get. If we had a few more like her we would be laughing.
Exit shows rivals the door
Legal Exit is a right horse and we'll throw him out in a field now. He'll come back for novice chasing in the autumn and hopefully he'll have a bright future over fences.
Bobbina enjoys herself at Limerick
Thankfully we knew she would handle the better ground. She has a good pedigree and her full sister Quiet Thought won this race two years ago. We'll cover her now and keep her racing over the summer.

Caheronaun pleases Hughes
Secret about Private Treasure is out
Josh (Halley) said he settled a bit better today and it was a nice consistent pace. He jumps well and we'll campaign him over hurdles in the summer, but we'll wait for the new season. He's very well bred and is a full brother to Frozen Fire and hopefully he'll pick up a few races in the summer.
