Dj calls the tune in Thurles opener
It's great to get a win over fences,. She'll go on for all those black type mares race. She doesn't want very testing ground and we won't abuse her on winter ground.
Rivage completes quick double for Russell
He ran a bit free at Tipperary last time,. He's very brave and very quick (at his fences). He's an out and out three-miler and likes to take his time to warm up.
Laughs maintains perfect chase record
They're running well and I'd like to have a few more. He's only five and ran just over two weeks ago. We ran him back quickly because of the ground. He made hard enough work of that and we'll probably give him a break for four weeks. We'll see what the weather does then. He doesn't want the ground too heavy.
Thegondolier causes 33/1 shock
Pineau serves it up to rivals
Thunder storms home to give Russell treble
He was entitled to win that as he's been knocking on the door,. He did it well and we'll try and find a winners of one for him - he'll stay hurdling. He has been a bit disappointing as he won two point-to-points for Pat Doyle before he came to me. He seemed to move a bit better today.
Magdoodle battles hard to claim last
I've had her in since she was three and she's had her problems,. I've had a licence for six years but we only have a few horses on the go. We've no real plans for her and we'll she how she comes out of it before we see what to do.
