No problems for 'fives on' Square
I'm delighted with him and he had two lovely runs. He came forward lovely from his first to his second run and Seamus (Heffernan) was very happy with him again,. He might come back here for the Listed race (Coolmore Stud Stakes) next month and obviously will get a mile well this year and be a middle distance horse next year. It was nice for him to get a lead around there and he learned himself there today - he'll be a nice colt.
Silver really shining for Brabazon
She has got a lot more valuable in the week and having won her second race, she is also a sister to (dual winner) Silverkode. I had organised to get rid of her in a claimer but will have to rethink the whole thing a bit now!.
Lee keeping pace in 3-way Championship race
she is a grand little filly and is improving the whole time and likes that quick ground, and evern quicker would suit her. It was a good time (57.95sec) and we won’t rush her now as she took a while coming to hand, as she is a small filly.
"Jump and run" approach pays off for Sirici
She did it well. At Naas the ground was a little soft for her and at Ascot we didn't make enough use of her, because she has a very high cruising speed and keeps going. We went back to basics and left her jump and run and it is grand it has worked out for her. Whether (owners) Michael Slevin and David Wachman want to keep her in training next year or send her straight to the breeding sheds, I don't know. She is after winning two races and a Listed race so doesn't have to do much more. . She's not over-big and I was hoping she'd be placed and she is also the first foal out of the mare so has done her no harm!
Smart pointer Ball shows his talent on track
Trip and head-gear help Chosen
He was unlucky not to win a four year old maiden point to point at Dromahane one day when he came down at the second last and this wasn't much of a race today,. It was a weak race and he needed the step up to this trip and the cheek-pieces were also a help. He likes this ground and we'll tip away with him now.
