Gladiatorial the beneficiary as Brandt departs at the last
Everyone needs a bit of luck sometimes. He was running well here one day a couple of years ago when he came down at the last, and today the other horse made the mistake and we got up. You need luck and we've had plenty of it this last couple of months. I said to Dara to get a breather into him and that if he was travelling coming up the hill, to hold onto him as long as possible. This is a lucky place for me and my first winner was here with a horse called Mighty Whitey who won a bumper under Derek Fox. Dara, and his brother Oran, never let me down. I used to tell them what to do but now they're older they tell me what to do!
Collins & Gilligan double up at Sligo
Me and Danny were over in Sedgefield yesterday and I said to him on the way back that we might have a treble tomorrow. We were laughing about it! It could have come off but Brandt and Danny were okay and that's the main thing. This is a very good horse. We got him through a sale and thought we'd have to pay more for him than we did (50,000euro). It's good to have him back winning again and he could turn out to be a very good staying chaser. . Jordan Gainford would've been riding him but had to ride for Gordon (Elliott, on The Friday Man). He pulled him up in Listowel last week when he felt he'd gone wrong. He did the right thing by him there and it's paid off today. I think we'll go to Cheltenham later this month. He seems to like the track there, so we'll have a go at it.
Ballagh proves Star for Dunleavy on fencing debut
He'd been running so well over hurdles but really needed a fence and gave an exhibition of jumping. It's a tough game for the smaller yards but days like this are great.
