Slattery juvenile records 66/1 shock in the opener
We thought he was a nice two-year-old but he was disappointing one day in the north. We ran him back here and Ben said to put a tongue-tie on him. He was working well. He's rated 63 and was in a handicap here last Wednesday but had a stone-bruise on the morning and we couldn't run him. It's just as well now. There is a winners race here in two weeks time so we might go for that. The lads have the mare, they bred him, and she's bred a winner at two now so it helps everything.
Notforalongtime claims further glory at Dundalk
He did it well. There aren't too many races for him so I had to come here for this. I have him in for €8,000 and if he goes I'll be sorry as there is a bit more in him. The last day up here I think they went too quick over the mile for him. The time before he was in the box seat the whole way and he was happy. Oisin was very good on him, he did exactly what I asked him, and I'm delighted. He's paying his way and he enjoys the surface, we'll see what happens now after today.

It's a special story behind this because Joseph Costello, who is one of the owners ,was the doctor on duty at Galway the day Wesley got injured and he looked after him in hospital when he was in ICU. I freshened him up after he ran the last time. Ross was home last week and I entered him at one minute to 12 last Thursday as an afterthought. I said to Ross 'is he okay to run' and he said 'yeah'. He was very good today and the freshness did well for him.

She had a good run the last day. It was a competitive little race there, she did it well and galloped to the line.

Yokkell springs 25/1 surprise in finale
I haven't had her that long and she was in great nick when I got her. She ran very well here the last day and we thought she'd run well here today as well but it was a very strong heat so we weren't really sure. She's just a very straightforward filly and I got her in great shape so I haven't had to do anything other than not mess her up. She shouldn't have been that price and I think it was maybe the strength of the race, other
