Come On The Lads easily lands Claimer under Keane

He has disappointed since his first run so we dropped him into claiming company today and it all came good. These claimers are great for that reason and we've had our day now, albeit in moderate company. Somebody will now have fun with him going forward and I'd imagine he'll jump a hurdle as well.

Akecheta a shock 40/1 debut winner of Tipperary maiden

Paddy Twomey had her as a two-year-old and last year as well and he did all the work. I didn't do much but Paddy has bigger fish to fry. She is a nice filly and is smart. She is very big although looking at the pedigree, it says 'Sioux Nation' but she is all Dalakhani (from the dam-side). Coming out of stall 16 we thought she had no chance and wanted to get her a good education but the family seem to run well first-time-out. Brian O'Connor pre-trained her, did a lot of work and we just fine-tuned her.

Expensive breezer wins on Tipperary debut

he is a lovely colt, we bought him from Tally-Ho (Stud) at the Craven Breeze-Up six weeks ago and has been very professional since he came home. He has had a couple of days away, he works with Red Evolution which finished third at the Curragh on Saturday and that told us that we hadn't a bad bunch. He is entered in the Railway (Stakes) and it is possible he could go to Ascot.

Truly Enchanting debut win for O'Brien filly at Tipperary

Ryan was delighted with her. He said that she’d have no problem getting six and might even get seven and said she handled the ground well. She was green early but Ryan said they didn’t go mad early, so it gave her a chance to get it together first time. He was very happy with her, so that’s great. We’ll see how much she comes on. She was away before she came, but she’s a little bit laidback at home so she could come on plenty, so I’d say the Albany is a possibility.

Maiden success for Slattery's Staysound Susie

she was unlucky not have have won the Birdcatcher but I thought the trip might be short for her. She will stay seven (furlongs) but the soft ground helped bring in her stamina. We planned to hold her up but they didn't go fast enough so with the fact she stays seven, Ben said he'd kick on and he was able to dictate. We might go for a better handicap somewhere along the line over six or seven furlongs. the six lads are all from Fethard and they bred her. One is a bread man, another a retired superintendent, there's a farrier from Coolmore and another's father trained the winner of the Galway Hurdle — they're delighted.

Sevensees proves real tonic for Mulligan

Cuban Grey grinds it out under Sheridan to land Tipperary nightcap

He is coming to himself and we knew it was in him, as Joey (Sheridan) assured me. As the song goes, it's a long way to Tipperary, especially from our house, but it was worth the three and a half hours trip. Joey didn't want to push him early on and I thought he was in trouble but he said he picked up going to the line and that's what you want. He is a lovely horse and we just buy low grade horses and try to improve them a bit. He has come to himself and hopefully can win another one. He wants those fast tracks as he has a bit of speed.
