Raya Time comes good over hurdles in the opener
It was great to get that for Roger and the Brookhouses and the plan now is to go chasing. We felt he was entitled to have one go at his maiden hurdle and it worked out. Subject to confirmation with the owners, he will go chasing now and the way he jumps fences at home he should do well as a chaser.

Generator City takes featured Captain Christy
He got a great steer from Paul as he controlled the speed. He is not a quick horse but he got everything spot on and winged the last two. He is a giant and won his point to point in Nenagh and that takes a fair horse. I was sent to see him after the spring and sat on him in Dot Love's and loved him and thought he was a real gentleman of a horse. I thought the ground today was gone a bit slow for him and this is probably his last run and he'll go on a break. We'll have him as a novice on the kinder ground in the spring.
Jumping seals it for Everlastingpromise
That was nice and his jumping is his forte and we didn't want any more juice in the ground. Those fellows (of sire Arcadio) with their style of running they are good jumpers and quick. He'll probably get enough for winning that and he could be going down the cross-country route later on.
Tiny Suvretta proves far too strong in bumper
She is one of the smallest horses in the yard and because she is so small we had been easy on her before Ballinrobe. She blew up then and since then we have trained her normally and that has helped her improve. The ground today was a lot better than at Ballinrobe. She is related to Sesenta and she too was very small. It is a great fillies' pedigree and I'm not sure whether we go jumping now as she would only be a novice through the winter then. We could wait until next year to go jumping and we might look for a mares' winners' bumper next.
