Meade eyes Galway for Mr Showtime
He was entitled to win on the ratings. It all worked out well, it doesn't always but it did today. We always said he would stay further than that although it is possible that a fast run two miles to two and a half is probably more his cup of tea than a three-mile race. Fast ground is essential, he needs to be bouncing off it. He probably will win a two mile flat race on fast ground. I didn't even consider it at all but I would think there's a possibility he could run in a two-mile maiden on the flat. In the immediate term, I would imagine he will go to Galway for something. I'll probably give him an entry in the Galway Hurdle. I know that sounds a bit adventurous but if he doesn't get into it he doesn't get into it and he probably won't anyway. There's a couple of other races we could run him in there.
A Year To Remember gets a winning chance
Fly's sister likes jumping too
As a half sister to Hurricane Fly we thought jumping might improve her. The boys in Blue Blood Racing Club have only taken her over two weeks ago. The other lads that owned her moved to a different horse and I just recommended her to Blue Blood.
Busy Lad wins another Downpatrick
He's a big horse and he goes around here - it's amazing,.
James gives Flanagan a brace
Bob at a big price again at Downpatrick
He did it well. The last day we ran him here we probably went the wrong trip and he probably needed the run back. He liked the trip today. That last day was the only time he was out of the money around here, the whole thing didn't suit him. He's not a good traveller so he can't travel too far and he'll come back here. . Robbie (Colgan) gave him a great ride. He meets us once or twice a week to ride work. He's a gentleman to work with. He's very under-rated. . The owner Philip Boyd is my cousin and only lives over the road from me. Robbie rode him (work) and thought he was coming back to himself. It wasn't that hot a contest. The last time it was a hot handicap. It was a lot different league there today.
Double up for Willie and Patrick
