Tillahow makes winning chase debut
You can't complain about that - winning first time over fences,. He probably wants a trip. He seems a different horse this season after a summer at grass. He seems to be more forward now. It's always awkward when a horse wins first time over fences planning where to go next and we've no plans at the moment.
Easy for Mee in Meagher
He's a great little horse. He's not the biggest but if we had a couple more like him it would be great,. We'll keep him away from the Grade Ones & Twos. He'll keep to those small races and he should pay his way.
Bocelli hits right tune
Farm lands treble for Russell
That's job done,. I wanted to get that out of the way before he goes chasing. He had a slight problem after Leopardstown and we left him alone then. He'll go chasing now and should make a nice chaser in time. We decided to give him a run over hurdles for his confidence. It was always the plan to just have one hurdle run.
Goulding gets off mark
Hollywood takes starring role
He was disappointing last year and had a few niggly problems so we left him off for a while. It was probably a blessing in disguise. He came on from his first run back and he's strengthened up a lot. He'll make a nice chaser in time but keeping him in one piece is the main thing.
Hunter strikes in bumper
He's a lovely horse. He's straight forward and professional and while he hasn't impressed me at home I though he might come alive on the racecourse,. He's never run in a schooling race so should improve a ton. He's for sale and I'd be happy to sell him to stay in the yard. If he's not sold he'll go for a winners' bumper.
