Swiss Army Officer in command in claimer
He is huge and is 610 kilos at the moment. All his runs this year were in big-field Leopardstown handicaps and he was never beaten more than five or six lengths and ran well every time. He needs his own way in front and got it today around here, and Emmet was very good on him and kidded him along and he won well in the end. He shows a lot more at home than he does at the track and those claimers are ideal for him, as in a handicap they are all vying for the lead and it is a different story. He'd have won without the blinkers today.
Luxembourg impresses on debut under Hussey
Ado's Star Harbour 'will go places' including Galway
It was a top class ride by a top class jockey. He is entered in the Galway Mile but three-year-olds don't have a great record in it and he’s in at the Curragh on Sunday as well over 1m2f. However I'm not inclined to run him back quick, unless the handicapper slaughters him, and he might go straight to Galway. I'd say he just didn't stay the last day at Down Royal and we put the visor on him to sharpen him up as he is very laid-back and lazy at home. That's the way he is but he has loads of ability and is a smashing horse and I think he'll improve again. I think he'll go places.
Classy Mehnah returns from injury to win Killarney feature
Crystal Pool another winner for Dylan Browne McMonagle
I was going bring her home last night after the ground dried out and after (stablemate) Wee Pablo didn't perform but my son Jack persuaded me to stay and see what it was like this morning. They got a little bit of rain, they did a watering job and the ground was nice this morning. We were worried whether she'd be quick enough on it but it was her guts and a very determined ride from Dylan which got her home. In the past she was a bit of a softie but has grown up a bit this year. If we go back to Dundalk in the winter it will be over ten (furlongs) and a bit. It was in Tom Brennan's own colours which means a lot to us.
Summer's Dream just foils Chimeric again in rematch
Hussey doubles up for Ballydoyle on Exuma
Hackett's good little 'un foils Mullins' hotpot
The runner-up picked up when we got to him so maybe we were lucky not be be in an earlier battle with him. My little lad is tough and had the luck with his head down for the photo. He is a fun little horse, is easy train, bounces out every morning and does whatever you ask him to do. I'll keep him on the flat at the minute, he is young so I'll give him a chance to mature before we go back jumping. He handles Dundalk so that is an option for the winter.
