Doyle off the mark as a jockey
It's great for young Joe. He's 16 and a local fellow. He signed on to Charlie Swan and he would ride work for us. He's ridden a lot of pony race winners and it's good to get the ball rolling for him. I'm delighted for the owner Liam O'Kelly. He's very supportive of me and the whole yard. I don't know where we'll go with him. We had to come here today as he's gone up to 66 [in the handicap] and that's going to be tough. He had 17 pounds in hand today so he was entitled to win, but it'll be tough from here now.
Nevis hacks up for O'Briens
Harasiya blitzes her rivals in Group 3
She did it nicely and she is a good filly.It was nice to see her step up and win comfortably. She wasn't doing a lot in front. She was a little wide and Johnny wanted to get going and she quickened up well. She goes through that soft ground well. It remains to be seen whether she'll handle good to firm ground. It's a bit of a question mark, but we'll find out when the time comes. We'll see now whether or not to go for the Debutante Stakes. She'll tell us when she wants to run. She's well bred with a good sire [Pivotal] and dam [Hazariya] which helps. It looked a good race going into it.
Unanimous gives O'Briens double
Footprint makes his mark at Foxrock
Back Burner gives Harrington an across-card double
I'm delighted. The ground can't be too bad. That's only his second run this year because of the ground. I don't think he'll go to Galway as I don't think he'll handle it. We'll see what the handicapper does. He's edging up a bit in the handicap.
