Joshua boxes on to land the claimer
Another winning juvenile for Harrington yard
.She ran well in Naas and it was an education,. She reared coming out of the stalls but she was still quick away and she did it well. Shane said he got a bit of a breather into her turning in and she ran to the line. She's a nice filly and I think she's probably a six furlong filly, whether she'll get seven I don't know.
Naples times it well under Colgan
I'm delighted. I thought Robbie gave him an absolutely gorgeous ride because I thought at one stage he was in trouble,. He said it just took him a while to get going and for the penny to drop. He said he absolutely loved that ground and he hit the line really well. Robbie said he's just a really nice horse. I didn't give him any big entries because until they won you can't really chuck them in. There are still lots of nice races and we might go for a winners of one because he still needs to learn a bit more. He's very well bred, he's Holy Roman Emperor, so maybe a bid will come in for him. We haven't sold a horse for a while and it's nice for the business — it takes the pressure off me. It's ultimately John's decision. We've always really liked him, he's a bonny little horse.

Dare To Flare sparkles at Fairyhouse
He ran a lovely race in Limerick and we kind of fancied him coming here today,. He has a problem with the stalls, he missed the break again today but still won. He's probably a bit better than he's letting on. He'll go to Galway on the Monday night now for the three-year-old handicap. He should get in after winning that. That was always the plan. He'll come up the hill as he's tough. We just can't get him to break well enough. He probably should have won a maiden at Dundalk but he got left at the start several times during the winter and then we left him off. He had a lovely run in Limerick, when he needed the run, and we aimed for this race so it's worked out.
Katiymann lands the Fairyhouse feature
He's been a great servant and that's the way he likes to be ridden. A small field, drop him out and he switches off,. It opened like the Red Sea for him, he hand't enough petrol to go around them anyway. He's often run well off a break before. We thought he looked a bit chubby in himself and thought he might need it. Ronan said he just got to the line and gave a heave with him. It's nice to win another one with him. He had a little wind-op and that probably helped him a little bit as well, I'd say it was marginal enough but every little helps. He's fierce genuine but you just have to ride him that way and he often runs into traffic problems in bigger fields. The small field was ideal for him.
