Bucky Larson puts Keane back in front
He's been a good stalwart, he's a great work horse and he's done his job. It's a pity the race is only 15 (maximum claiming price of E15,000) but, at the same time, we are great supporters of claiming races - we believe in them. The Horses in Training Sale was on yesterday and this is as good, if not better. If he is claimed, we wish the best of luck to the next people. It is a nice winner for Colin to get him on the board for the championship. So he should (travelled well in that company), he was a 100 horse in his day and he ran really well on Friday and, if he backed that up at all, that's the way he should have done it and he did it.

'Gorgeous' Riccardi gets off the mark
He's a gorgeous, big horse. He had the form to win that race, so I am delighted that he got his head in front for Michael Enright - Michael is a very good owner with us and he has been very loyal to us. He bred that lad as well. He's a horse that I think will make an even better four-year-old. He always showed us promise. We didn't think we would actually have to start off at that level with him, but that is what it has taken for him to get it together. He's not as raw or backward now as he was and the penny is starting to drop with him. He has the size and scope to improve. We might come back up (to Dundalk) and try again with him. Ultimately, he will probably be put away this side of Christmas for next year. Ronan said that was the race for him.
