Hello Man wins Laytown's opener
I train 13 horses, mostly point to pointers, and this is my only Flat horse! It's great to get this first winner and Hello Man is owned by a few lads from Listowel (Lehaghaidhspraoi Partnership) and we'll take the horse there next Tuesday for another handicap!. I myself was based with Christy Roche for eight years and have known and helped Gary (Carroll) to ride from an early age. I've had 10 point to point winners already with a strike rate of 32% and my father Paddy, aged 70, and rides Hello Man and a few more out every day!
Smullen keeps Rockin
Murtagh vows to return for a Laytown winner
It's great to be here in such a unique place. I haven't been here for four years but have had 10 or 12 rides here over the years. we've been having a very very slow time of it this summer but little fish are sweeter and I'm glad to get to the 20 winner mark for the season. Hopefully we'll make it to 30 winners by the end of the year but we sold almost everything and have had less ammunition this year.
McNamara has the winning Rhythm
Under Review causes 20/1 Laytown upset
Under Review is a super little horse and I'm not a bit surprised he won! He missed the break the last day at Sligo and ran no race. I fitted him with a tongue-tie today and he even seemed more relaxed with it on! I only train three horses and own, train him and ride out Under Review every day and it's such a thrill to win!
Lyons completes Laytown double
I'm delighted for Andrew as he is working for me for six years and nothing is too much trouble with him and is an excellent worker. Dunne Grand is just a handicapper but it is great to win with her and she'll run next at Dundalk.
