Enright the man on Thyestes Day again
The Big Dog fuels Thyestes dreams for Fahey and Mullins
A 2nd Galmoy as Percy hardens as Gold Cup favourite
Allez Kal a popular local winner at Gowran
She's run a couple of nice races lately and she's improved for it. She actually has the Gowran colours so it's the day for it,. It's great to have a winner any day but I suppose today is more special. She probably likes it a bit testing for her style of running. They might get away from her a little bit on better ground. In saying that she ran well on the Flat over a mile-and-three one day so she's not as slow as she looks at times!. Hopefully she's not finished over hurdles.
Mullins and Walsh double up with impressive Cilaos Emery
My two jockeys came in and said they went down over the first three fences as fast as they'd go in any Arkle Chase, or Champion Chase I think Paul said. The flew over the first three and I was happy with the way my two jumped. It sounded like a really good test so it was good for Cilaos Emery to come out and be able to win starting off like that. I'm very pleased. It means he'll get an entry in the Arkle, Duc Des Genievres will too. I wouldn't think he'd go to the Dublin Racing festival as it's next week and it would be too soon. I'd imagine we'll go straight there at this stage of the season. I'll see if I can squeeze one in but the third day of Cheltenham is this day seven weeks so it's going to be very hard, especially after that race as it was a very hard race. They went flat to the boards for most of the race. We'll see how he comes out of it.
Mullins very pleased with treble and Blue Sari's performance
That was very good. We thought he'd stay alright but we weren't sure he had any speed,. He certainly is way better on grass than he is at home on our gallops. It looked a top notch performance. That's certainly way over and above anything he does at home so we're very pleased with him. I thought the soft ground would suit him. All his work at home has been very dour but that looked special so I'm looking forward to him for the rest of the season. He never showed us that at home. He's very workmanlike at home but there he looks to have a bit of class about him. The owners had Twinlight with me before. They have a lot of horses in training in France. We might look at the four-year-old bumper at Limerick. I don't know if there is much around the country for Cheltenham so he could very possibly go there but normally with four-year-olds we'd go to Limerick.
