Second winner for O'Callaghan as bargain buy Society wins
I shouldn't have run him on the ground at Clonmel the last time as he's only 15-2, only a small horse, and he just got stuck in the ground,. We're hopeful now that he can progress into a nice summer horse going forward. He had some classy form in England for James Bethell. He only cost me a grand at the sales so I can't really complain too much about him. It'll keep mother happy anyway. He had so many problems when he came, kissing spines and joints, but he's turned into such a happy horse and I'm very happy going forward. Hopefully the handicapper just leaves me alone!
Now Where Or When takes maiden hurdle on way to chasing career
He's not winning out of turn and he appreciated the better ground,. JJ gave him a good positive ride and he's improving away all the time. He's never run a bad race really but he couldn't handle heavy ground, but still ran well on it. We'll be looking forward to him going over fences. I might run him again a couple of times as he handles that ground, we'll pick something out for him.
France England and now an Irish win for Coulonces
That was great. It probably wasn't a brilliant race but she got the job done,. She was second over hurdles in England and won four on the Flat in France so she definitely has ability. I thought she was beaten turning in but she stuck at it well. We'll see what the handicapper does and take it from there. She's no star and I was a little surprised as she worked terrible the other day and I was in two minds whether to run her. I took a chance and it paid off.
Mutasaabeq hugely impressive at Newmarket
Gigginstown House Stud one two in Fairyhouse beginners chase
Somptueux has history maker Blackmore back on a home winner
11 to 1 plus Fairyhouse brace for Slevin
Obviously he was a lucky winner, Danny was unfortunate at the last, but that's the name of the game,. He jumped well, travelled well and made one bad mistake down the back. I thought I'd pick him up at the back of the second last but he hasn't found a whole lot, he kinda did that the last day.
Special success for the Wards with Mary's Pride
That's brilliant. We bought this fella last year for €3,700 for Laura. She's been riding since she was a 12-year-old and is going to college,. She's also been riding out for Lorna Fowler and has been a great help to me. Her mother passed away three years ago and the horse is named after her. These are the days for small trainers like me. For me to produce him first time out and to give her her first winner is one of the best days I've had for a long time. We've only five horses and this is a fantastic day, it's what racing is all about for a small trainer. I'm so excited for her. We're farmers and I foal some mares as well, especially for Lorna Fowler. Douglas Taylor is my main man, I pre-train for him before the horses are sent to Willie's and Gordon's. We only train a few but we enjoy it. We had that horse broken and riding in three days. I rang Harry Fowler because I thought he was broken but he wasn't. We brought him to the beach and he walked out up to his ears in water. He's just been a special horse for a special girl. Today is a great day.
