Tijuana Dances home in opener
He's no star but was entitled to win that as it was a weak enough maiden hurdle,. He was a bit unlucky the last day but things went right today and that's great. We'll look for a little handicap or winners of one for him. The ground drying out probably helped.
Mazara proves game in front
He's consistent and is progressing. He's a fine big horse and the better ground suited. There might be more to come from him,. Andrew gave him a lovely ride. He could do with company and idled a bit in front but he said there was plenty in the tank. We'll probably go the handicap direction and he might go back on the Flat somewhere along the line.
Eights battles well to grab glory
We were giving out about the handicapper beforehand! The ground is the key to him,. With the drying ground we thought he had a small chance. Even in his point to points he wasn't getting home on heavy ground. The better ground was definitely a help. Tom said he should win again on that ground. He's a smashing looking horse and was breaking our hearts. He was placed in four point-to-points. He's actually in again on Saturday but he wouldn't run after that as he had a tough race.
Oscar turns mares chase into procession
Going to the last I looked behind me expecting to see something but she's won very easy,.
Billion survives scare to score
Psycho impresses at Clonmel
He's a pure natural. He ran in a point-to-point as a young horse and we should have went chasing last year with him,.
Headford gets home in bumper battle
That's a relief as it's his last go at a bumper as he's had five runs now,. He'll probably go for a winners' bumper at Punchestown and then go over hurdles after May 1st. He likes better ground and we'll keep him going as long as there is a bit of juice in it.
