Eyrefield now for Listowel winner Tonkin
I'm glad now because I thought about pulling him out. I like this horse and when I found out there were no stalls I was thinking how bad might it be for a two year old,. I knew he'd handle soft and he ran a real nice race at Killarney and the winner was second in a Group 3 since. . Ronan (Whelan) likes this horse and the reason I ran him was that he is going for the Eyrefield Stakes and I didn't think he was just ready to step into Listed class yet and he would have learned a lot today.
Nice to Cee the locals kept happy
He absolutely loves this ground and I'm delighted for the O'Carrolls (owners), who have a pub in Listowel; I'm delighted for Eamonn who hasn't been very well recently and today was his first day racing in a long time,.

Lucky but Enright finally gets a Listowel win
He hit the last with a round to go. He seemed to jump really well afterwards and we would have been more than happy with second place. But they are there to be jumped and if you get it on a plate you have to take it,. I'm delighted for the owner (Martin White) as he has a good few horses with me and it's our first winner in a while. . We didn't really fancy him today but a win is a win and we're delighted. We'll run him in a novice chase now and see where we go from here. . Going in the race, I'd have been delighted if he had finished in the first three or four. He spent the month of July schooling at Clonshire (Equestrian Centre) with Dan Foley and I was delighted with the way he jumped today.
Mulvany's plan comes off in Lartigue
This was the plan from early in the year and we were saving his handicap mark. His runs on the Flat recently would have helped fitness-wise and he is fierce genuine,. The handicapper might now give him a few pounds but we're not worried and it's a lovely race to win. He's after having a long season and we'll see how he is after this. Ross is my nephew so it's a real family affair today!
