Vitalized runs away with the claimer
King loses claim with a win on Daliyan
Foley has Roman out smart for the win
I was very worried about the draw. It's an awful disadvantage here being so wide (fourteen of fourteen) but Shane got him out smart,.
Lass Vega keeps locals happy
I thought on her Smash Williams run (6th to that fellow at the Curragh on August 22nd) that she was entitled to do that,. Her owner, Danny Coogan, based in Meath, bought her as a foal, and he would like to leave it at that (for this year) and take her home. We'll see and she won't run with cut in the ground anyway. She's progressed with each run and hopefully she'll be competitive in handicaps next year.
Granny up to the task at first time of asking
Tom joins Tony as a Gowran winner
Rock up to seven for another win
At this trip now it just gives him a chance to travel - I'd suppose his legs are just not as quick now at the age he is,. He definitely still has the ability and the heart though. I travelled away well into it but Donnacha (O'Brien on Apache Gold) picked up and left me with a bit to do. In those no whips races it's always hard to make a bit of ground. In the last half furlong he was sticking his head down and Donnacha's lad was starting to come back to me a small bit.
Craic in the last at Gowran
He seems to be improving. The mile six was no bother to him and I'd say he'd get further. If a nice hurdle race came up we might stick him in it.
