Four days, four winners, for in form Marnane
She finally dropped to a winnable mark, after being Listed placed on her second start at Galway. Sam (James) gave her a fantastic ride. I was a bit worried about the ground beforehand. We have no immediate plans for her now.
134/1 double for red-hot Marnane
She came from the UK. Her better runs have come at left handed tracks, while her bad efforts have been at right handed tracks. Putting two and two together, she must prefer going left handed. The handicapper can't be too hard on her after that and she will have a bit of a break now. Our horse are on a bit of a roll at the moment.
Darenjan scores on first start over fences
He will go for a 2m 6f Novice Chase at the Galway Festival next. He has won twice around Galway, so I'm looking forward to bringing him there again. He idled a bit in front on the run in.
Friend is in Hot form for Tyner
Double for O'Connell as Sebadee takes feature
He gave us a scare at the last. My heart was in my mouth. I thought he travelled better than any other horse at Listowel on his last start but he cut out then. After that run he had laser palate surgery. It was a non-invasive procedure, so he only missed two to three weeks training from that. The proof is in his eating!. We will see what the handicapper does next, but he may go to the Galway Festival next for the handicap hurdle he was third in last year. He loved that ground, its really nice jumping ground.
