Odds-on backers get their Way in Clonmel opener
It's always a chance when you run them so close up (4th at Galway on Sunday) but I'm delighted and grateful to the lads at home who have done all the work,. We'll see how she comes out of this race but she could run in the Grabel Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in a few weeks time. She'll be up against top class mares in that and I'm not sure if we're in that class but we'll see. She ran on soft ground a few times and ran ok and is very versatile ground-wise.
Hogan "thrilled to get a winner" for Conroy
Slevin back in business as O'Brien has 1st win for O'Flynn
That's my first horse for Michael (O'Flynn, owner) and Stanley and also my first winner for them,. JJ gave him a good ride as he anchored him in front and he's not the most straightforward horse in the world. It's also JJ's first winner since coming back so it's good for him too. I think the horse will get some confidence from that as he has been to the well plenty of times. He'll have no problem jumping fences and handling slower ground. They have done a great job with the ground here and it's very safe.
Canavan rides 1st Irish winner on Dontdooddson
Jordan (21) was in Jonjo O'Neill's and was coming to us but had a ride in Galway (in the summer) and had a fall which delayed him a while but he is with us a couple of months now and is doing well,. He was only passed to ride last week and it was good the opportunity came up for him. This horse did it well and he is versatile enough and could go over fences and goes on easier ground.
O'Grady pleased to bag feature ahead of 'very quiet winter'
I think horse and owner (the Mullacrock Partnership) gets honours for perseverance, and maybe trainer,.
Point to point champ O'Neill gets good tune from Robin
He is a very consistent sort but always seems to be the bridesmaid. In fairness to the horse he wins one for us every year and we'll see what the handicapper gives him and possibly go for another handicap hurdle,. He is as genuine and is always in the money. Barry gave him a lovely ride today and we might go for another hurdle before going chasing then.
