Carla Ridge a 100/1 winner in Naas opener
Antelope Canyon too strong for odds-on Wood
Tommy McJohn defies topweight to win Naas nursery
Winning trainer Michael O'Callaghan: .Dylan said that he got quite unbalanced at one point and he was glad to have the rail. He said he was going away again at the line but he said he wouldn't rush to step up to six furlongs,. He thinks a good stiff five is his trip and he would appreciate a little bit more of an ease, as he changed his legs plenty and felt it a little bit. The top-weight in a nursery are usually the best horse in the race at this time of year. He's a small little horse and did well to carry that weight. Dylan was very good on him.
William F Browne shows battling qualities to land Claimer
He's named after Willie Browne who I bought him off,. We were walking around the parade ring at the sales and if you look at this horse he's gorgeous on one side and then on the other side he's got a luminous white eye. Me and Kerry are looking at him and I said 'he's lovely, he'll do me — he's my type of horse' and then he comes around again and I go 'Holy God!'. Unknown to me Willie Browne was beside me and asked what was wrong. I said 'I can't do white eyes Willie as it never works for me'. He said 'don't be so stupid'. I said to him I'd buy him to prove it wrong and if I did I'd call him Willie 'effing' Browne. When the hammer dropped he came running over to me and he said 'do me a favour, add a bit of class to it and call it William!'. So that's where William F Browne came from. It cost me £60,000 to prove a point.
Keane completes double on well backed Mykonian Odyssey
She's been running in very good company,. I had her in the Moyglare and hummed and hawed but I thought I'd put the handicapper in an invidious position if I ran in the Moyglare and was thereabouts so we decided we'd take the nine-and-a-half grand. She's s filly for tomorrow really. She's not straightforward. She was on speed-dial all summer to the Samaritans until they started hanging up and then I had to step in and get her a pal.
Cercene steps forward to win easily on second start
We were never really happy watching it to be honest. She was going nowhere and then all of a sudden she won well. We think she's a very good filly. Whether she runs again this year or not, I don't know. We were kind of working back from the CL Weld Stakes all along but that might come up a bit too quick. Maybe the fillies Listed race at the Curragh (Staffordstown Stud Stake) might be a nice option for her and she's also in the auction final here as well. I'd say she could be finished for this year and she'll get an entry for both Guineas. Hopefully she'll build into that type of filly for next season.
