Great start for De Bromhead's Conrad
Mullins and McManus initiate a double
He took a while to come to himself but had a nice run at Fairyhouse. That was a bit more competitive that this, which was a far lesser race,.
Web makes it 2 for Mullins and McManus
I was a bit worried coming back so quick and was hoping he wouldn't suffer the 'bounce.' The ground was so safe that we felt we had to run,.
Stoughan Cross scores at 66/1
He was second on this day last year but I only got to run him once since on soft ground and my horses also got sick since,.
Blinkers Magic a win from Winter
He travelled well all through the race and that was exactly what I expected out of him. I don't like to see those 'P's' beside a horse's name but you'd have to say the blinkers worked,. Davy said as long as there's juice in the ground to keep going.
Smooth from Ben in novice hunters
Our one worry today was the ground as he needs nice ground,. I got him last October and with the work he had done, I couldn't believe he was still a maiden. He had a few issues though and confidence is a big thing for him. He might hold his own in a novice chase later on, but we'll see what (handicapper) Noel O'Brien says and maybe look at a two and a half mile handicap chase at Kilbeggan on June 20th.
Eyecatcher and a winner now too
She's a nicely bred mare and her ganddam is Miss Orchestra,. The Connery family (syndicate) had a mare that won the Listed Mares Bumper at Navan and this mare could go down that route. There's a mares' winners' bumper back here in two weeks and she could go for that next before her summer break. She is from a real staying family and is still a big baby, who will come on further.
West sales bound with plenty to recommend
