Bowe and Russell off to a Flyer
He's been a good hurdle horse. He was only touched off in a Grade 2 hurdle at Navan one day and he was due a bit of luck,.
More joy for Galway Plate winners
Harrington's Princess lands special win
She's not very big but she loves it around here and she's run well here before (third twice),. We brought her back to the mile and a bit here and we knew she'd love that. Shane (Foley) was mad to ride her, and he said as soon as he pulled her out going down the hill and she met the rising ground, that he knew it would take a fair horse to get past her. She's a great filly and has only run one bad race.
Mullins mare takes Listed prize
I'm after watching it three times, I thought she was second the first time, and third the second time, and I still can't make out the angle here. I watched it in the parade ring which I never do, I always watch them live,. She's very temperamental. We had an awful job to get Declan on to her, and eventually when he did get on to her at the fence here past the stands, he had to ride her without his feet in the irons the whole up to the start. She's herself but once you let her be herself she's fine. I always keep them entered up just in case they win out of turn like that. I didn't dream she'd win today. I have her entered in Cork next week where she's won before - I love horses for courses. I didn't think she'd handle this track, so it just goes to show the way they can surprise you, but she's a filly that's improving all season. She's big and she's got really strong this year and her strength is coming out now. Any winner is good. We don't buy too many Flat ones so we just get sent Flat horses by people and Ballylinch support us every year, sending us an odd good one like this. It's fantastic.
Harrington lands 34/1 Galway double
He's an unbelievable horse to win four in a row,.
Quick Jack the Galway Hurdle hero
It's magic. It couldn't have been better going to the last but unfortunately poor old Thomas (Edison), a good friend of mine came a cropper - the first time he's fallen - I hope he's okay, he might be a bit stiff and sore but Mick Cromwell (travelling head man) will go down and tidy him up and get him right hopefully. The horse has been well all year. He's come here with the right backing behind him. He had a great run the last day in Chester and we felt he was in as good a form today, as he has been at any time of the year, and the ground was probably in his favour today, it's the first time he got really nice ground. Everything went right in the lead up to the race and we couldn't have been happier coming here with him. All we were looking for was luck in running and we got that - Denis was very good on him. He's one of the top five jockeys and they don't make mistakes.
Local rider Roche pleases punters on War
5 now for Willie at Galway
He could go for the Lonsdale Cup at York whilst Wicklow Brave could run in the Ebor. We'll keep Max Dynamite's hurdle mark for when it's needed and he could also be a Melbourne Cup type horse.
