Geraghty's Good Times continue
Townend in three-way tie for Championship
Allee Garde is bred for jumping and is closely related to Clan Royal. We were hoping to win a bumper with him but hurdling has seemed to bring out the best in him. He'll have no trouble staying two and a half miles and will be upped in trip once the ground starts to dry out . he'll make a lovely chaser in time.
Casey the Star in county Down
Accordion To Paddy completes double
Accordion To Paddy has surprise me again with that win! Hopefully there may be more improvement to come again from here. Andrew (Lynch) said he didn't jump well to start off today but half way through he started to pick up.
Geraghty completes Northern double
Cue Card's half brother scores at Down Royal
we thought that would happen at Limerick the last day but he unseated rider. He is a half brother to Cue Card but wouldn't be in the same parish as him! However we'll see what the handicapper does next and we'll try for something similar before maybe going for the EBF Novice Final at Navan.
Open Up Your Heart causes 33/1 upset
we brought Open Up Your Heart for a gallop at Dundalk recently and he went well, under Declan, so the owners were happy to give him the ride today.
