Whelan gets a tune out of Grand City Hall in Cork
Park Hill Racing wanted a day out at Ascot (for the Shergar Cup) the last day and, apart from the transport cost, it was free entry and we got paid as there was prize money for all runners. Things didn't go right for him though as he became more antsy in the stable yard with every run. He completely missed the break at Ascot and burned himself up in the early part of the race, but the trip seemed to do him well and freshened him up. We knew he was well coming here as we used a blindfold on him at home and it worked. He isn't far off being a five furlongs horse, but this course and distance suits and if the ground stays quick, he'll run at the Curragh in two weeks' time. He could go on the all-weather, but there mightn't be a whole lot for him at Dundalk and he's had a good season, so if we get another run out of him we do, and if we don't we don't.

'Improving' Killeaney Bear now three from his last four
We made the running in Galway, but it didn't suit and, while we didn't want to make it today, they went no gallop and we prefer a faster pace. He is a big raw horse, is 16.2hh and I think he will make a nice four-year-old. We thought he was a nice two-year-old, he always showed a bit and he is a racy looking type. He is improving all the time and we might give him one more run before the end of the season.
