Bates seen to good effect on Jack
The first time tongue tie seemed to make a difference. He ran well a few times here before but found it hard to win. We'll find something similar.
Shepherd flocks to the winners enclosure
He deserved that after being placed on his last few runs, and Davy gave him a great ride. He'll go to Fairyhouse for a three mile handicap later this month.
Tranquil has rivals all at Sea
He established that he can at least go right-handed now. That was one of today's objectives. The logical step now is to go for the John Durkan at Punchestown. It is the right trip for the horse, and he will have a run under his belt. I hope that he's at least as good if not better than last season.
Blazing ups the Tempo
I'm a bit surprised she won as all of mine are running like they need the run. Paul said she was not happy on the ground and would prefer it a lot better. I have no real plan as we were not expecting to win but she will keep to mares company.
Graduate digs deep for Ferris
Jim fixes it for Byrne
He won a point-to-point at Kilsheelan three weeks ago, and will probably go now for a winners' bumper. His long term future is over fences.
