Sun Never Sets battles on well under Hassett
Love conquers Beauty in fillies maiden
She tried hard there, the blinkers made a difference and made her concentrate,. Jack was good on her. I'm surprised that she liked that ground so that opens up a few more doors for her. She'll get an extra furlong, if not two. We'll go back to the book now and see what comes up.
Sneddy as he goes for McNiff's winner
He loves soft ground and at times it was hard to get it. That type of track suits him as well as he's a handy horse,. He won in Sligo and over six there you are climbing for five. It's not a normal six and you'd want to stay further there. We thought he would win over a mile-and-one early in the year and he just paddled the last 100 yards so this is probably his ideal trip. Ground is essential though. He got a fright in the parade ring before (unseated Whelan) and he would be a wee bit fractious. He got a bit upset in the stalls one day as well and he would be a wee bit wired.
'Well-in' Drop The Dip scores again for Gibney
She handles the ground. We didn't know going down to Listowel whether she would or not but handled it grand there so we figured we were alright ground-wise today. She's as solid as a rock. She's been in the first five all season long and you can set your watch by her. She was running good races all the time, only being beaten a length-and-a-half or two lengths so for her to get the few wins is great. It's great for her owner, great for me and for her. I got kind of greedy this morning and entered her in Navan next week but I don't know if she'll go or not. We'll see how she is.
McGuinness doubles up with Star
Emotional success for Rogers in Bellewstown finale
Obviously she's looking down on us and keeping it going. That's good for everyone and will keep everyone going. . There is a lot of family here and it's great. It's a great meeting here at Bellewstown and Mary always loved coming here so that's why we come back here.
