Curling & Enright strike in Killarney opener
Redwood Queen capitalises on Killarney opportunity
she hopped off the ground, she is a brilliant jumper and it looked a great opportunity. She wasn't penalised in today's race for any of her previous wins but the handicapper can't do a whole lot more to us. We would have put her over fences only she is so small but we might try her on the flat, if we can get a stalls cert as she is a small bit flightly. She might run in a flat race in Galway.
Kells Priory defies two-year layoff at Killarney
Moyvilla Lass gives McCarthy another reason to be cheerful
She was knocking on the door and was a shade unlucky in Kilbeggan so this is lovely for the owner Martin Coyne from Galway. She loves that good ground so we'll keep her rocking along. She was entitled to win her race and Gary gave her a lovely ride.
Red Glory on target for de Bromhead & Blackmore
Slattery & Ryan combine to land four-year-old bumper
I only have her 12 weeks and knew she was decent although we never got to gallop her on grass. She has a good pedigree and is improving. Pat Hurley, the owner, is from near Thurles, is a first cousin of my mother's and has taken back out his own training licence recently. Pat trained horses for years so she might go to a new trainer now although he might also sell her, so we'll see. . I think she is decent and I think 2m4f over hurdles will bring out the best in her.
The Gray Ghost lands Killarney nightcap
We thought he'd win the last day but Pa (King, jockey) came in and said he got his tongue over the bit. He is a devil for that so we tied down his tongue today - he has never made a noise but fiddles with it. In fairness to Pa he gave us invaluable feedback. We were wicked disappointed the last day as we think he is a fair horse and she gave him a lovely ride today. He is a big baby and is for sale. He is owned by my landlords Ray O'Connor and his partner Neasa Haverty, who are friends of mine and I'm delighted for them. It is the second time Neasa's colours have been worn and the first was by a horse which fell, when going to win a point-to-point and was sold afterwards.
