Harrington records across the card double
She got off the mark well here today and I'm thrilled for the owners. Johnny [Harrington] sold them this filly to give them a bit of a luck as they have been unlucky in the past. We will go for another hurdle with her next and maybe run her on the flat she will appreciate the better ground.
Fiveforthree secures ticket to Aintree
He did a nice bit of work at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago and that showed here today. He has don e everything right at home and the plan is to go for the 2 ¿ mile Aintree Hurdle on Grand National Day and then on to Punchestown.
Keane/Doyle score at Wexford
We bought him out of Lesley Young's with a leg, so we fired him and left him off for a year. He had his first run back at Fairyhouse and we thought he was only 80% fit but he surprised us as to how well he ran and he has improved since then and he should improve some more. He jumps a fence well and as long as we can keep him in one piece we should have a bit of fun with him.
Walsh records treble at Wexford
That's why he is, what he is.
Walsh's good spell continues with a four timer
He used to be in training with Paul Nicholls, he had plenty of leg trouble and the owners have given him all the time in the world to recover and they're being rewarded now for their patience. We'll see what the handicapper has to say but there is a race for him at Navan later in the month.
Kiely Cott For Cash
She's a promising sort and you can't beat pedigree, she should have a nice future and jumps well. The horse is owned by Pat's [Crowley] uncle and Pat has been with me on and off for 20 years.
