Rebel runs them ragged
The plan is to go chasing with him in a couple of weeks,. That was beautiful ground, pure National Hunt ground, and once we get a slight ease he'll be chasing away for the summer. Adrian Maguire schooled him at Dromahane just over a week before Punchestown. He jumped the three fences in the straight three times and is a great jumper. In fact Mikey O'Connor had schooled him over fences even before he ran in a bumper.
Galway the target for Shabra
This horse takes no training. He just canters around at home and is as tough as nails,. I thought he was a certainty today. With the rating he has over hurdles compared to his rating on the Flat he was thrown in. The main aim now is the Galway Hurdle as long as the ground is suitable. He loved that ground today.
Ionisphere plots unusual course to success
All his Flat runs he has been going to the front and I told Wayne today to drop him out and let him enjoy himself,. Thats was his first time in cheekpieces. I've had five seconds in the last few weeks and I thought I was done again today!
Flyer claims Cup at Clonmel
He's in on Tuesday at Killarney in the novice chase and we'll see how he comes out of this,. We may go to Galway for the two-mile amateur handicap. He finds a lot under pressure.
Glamorous proves strongest
Baresi bashes bookies at Clonmel
Groocock looks good in bumper
He's a horse that's going to improve and he'll go jumping before too long,. He's a summer horse and I was a bit worried coming down here about the ground.
