Dino looks smart in Clonmel opener
Brook stays on best to open account
Patience rewarded with Sienne win
More work went into getting her here and it was tough going. She was getting injured and injured and injured and in Punchestown the last day she was brought down. I was saying where is this going to end!. Then she reared up down the stable yard she was so well. You'd think I was after winning a graded race, it means so much. Only for Richard Finnegan, the main man in the syndicate, she might not be left in my yard but the syndicate were good. We had an idea she might handle the ground but you couldn't get a bit of luck with her. Even though it was a 0-95, it is important for the yard and the staff, as a lot went into it.
Cash bounces Back to form
Watson grabs her opportunity as hotpot Noise blunders
She is a grand big mare who had a good run five days ago but didn't have a hard race. She is a fair mare who loves that ground and Jack gave her a great ride,. We had a few niggly problems with her at the start but she always showed a nice bit and I think it's down to the ground today. I have a couple for the track and a few nice point to pointers.
Gutsy Colin springs shock
He was very good over hurdles where he won off 116 but obviously broke down and had his problems,. He is a class horse and was always capable of winning that type of race - I'll be disappointed if I don't hold on to it!
