Mozzie a name to note over hurdles
He’s a lovely horse and likes a bit of nice ground. He looks a nice Festival horse.
Romella completes the hat-trick
Last year she was just not right in herself. The horses are well this year and she is after improving.
Mighty Meggsie wins on handicap bow
She’s full of herself and it’s great for the Queallys to have a winner here at their local track in Punchestown. Hopefully we can find another contest like that as soon as possible and she won’t be as fresh as that. She likes good ground. She’s hard on herself when she’s fresh like that. She gives Robert (Power) a hard time.
Aldo The Apache cuts down rivals
Embittered jumps well to land Grade 3 novice
It was probably a bit sharp for him the last day (at Roscommon) and they got him out of his comfort zone halfway around. The extra few furlongs today suited him. He jumped lovely today and I thought he won the race by taking the other horse on a long way out. He tends to jump a bit left at times but he jumped pretty straight today. Bryan gave him a lovely ride.
Galvin makes it six on the bounce
I thought it was a good performance with the weight he had and we knew he was going to come on plenty from it. He was up against two race-fit horses. He’s in Down Royal and is a horse to look forward to for the season. It’s a race that could cut up and he looks like he’s entitled to take his chance in a Grade 1. We missed Listowel as we thought it was coming a bit too soon for him and he’s having a good blow after that race today. He only really does what he has to do but he’s a grand honest horse and this has been a lucky race (seventh win) for us. He might be more of a Grand National horse than a Gold Cup horse but he knows how to win.
Hey Johnny best placed to land bumper 'sprint'
It turned into a sprint and Charlie said he actually loved it walking. He never has a problem settling.
