Peaceful a clearcut winner on second start
Louisiana schools nursery rivals on handicap bow
A first winner at Thurles for Chris Hayes
Eastern Racer sees it out best for Foley
It took a while to get him there, he wasn't altogether right but we have him now, . He likes a cut in the ground and he held on well today. Hopefully we'll have more fun with him and he ran well in Dundalk the last day. We'll look for something similar now and he can come back in trip as well.
Sheridan followers are A Few Bob ahead
I think we lost the run of ourselves when he won, as we ran back a bit quick and he likes to be fresh and was bouncing today, . He is what he is but when we got him if you told me he was going to win two races. I'd have laughed at you. It is amazing, he is tiny but has a heart of a lion. That's his grade and thankfully he's won a couple now. He might go to Dundalk around Christmas time when the races aren't too hot. We tried last Christmas to win one but we'll try again. I only have a handful of horses. I'm in west of Ireland and it is difficult to find a nice one. I have good owners but the quality of horses is the problem - it is hard to compete against the big boys but we'll box away at this level.
Bay Hill a willing partner for O'Keeffe
Darragh is a great rider and the 5lbs claim on the flat was grand, . That was his first flat winner and Bay Hill is a right little horse. He is as honest as the day is long and that was his 11th win today; I could do with a few more like him. We'll keep him going and might go for a chase if the ground doesn't get too heavy, otherwise we could wait until next year.
Mary does the business for Byrnes
She deserved that off her handicap mark and getting the mares' allowance, . On ratings she looked to have a big chance and she is a grand one for the staying handicaps next year. She won't go back hurdling as she didn't take to it and I'd say she'll get a break now.
