Season begins with popular local winner

He's a nice horse and he's promised a lot but my horses haven't really been firing. I said I'd come west with him rather than having Stephen travelling as he's not in the best of health and he'll probably run at Roscommon next,.

Double up for Hourigan and Heskin

Trainer Levins scores initial National Hunt win

He's proved to be a very frustrating horse but I'm very fond of him . he's a likeable little devil. Brian gave him a brilliant ride . he got a breather into him going past the stands. I'm pleased that this fellow is my first National Hunt winner. He'll mix it and be kept busy,.

Rodriguez best after all the drama

You need a bit of luck. He's a summer horse and he likes fast ground. He's better going the other way.

Joey leads home Rothwell one two

Sir Abbot the boss in interesting finale

My horses are actually sick at the moment and they're running a bit hit and miss. Three of them pulled up in Fairyhouse yesterday. This fellow is a nice horse though I thought Robbie was a small bit over confident on him. He really impressed me the way he quickened. After Leopardstown (an eye-catching third in a maiden hurdle) I thought he was more of a stayer but he showed a completely different side there. He could be kept on the go now as he seemed to go well on that ground. He won his point-to-point at Dungourney and then he went to the Brightwells Sales. I didn't think he'd be coming back to me.
