Clonmel Tue, 3rd Dec, 2024  Karafon He jumped brilliant, settled great and his form entitled him to do it like that. I couldn't ride Karamoja for weight reasons and at home she would work as well as the winner, but Karafon has an extra season's training with us under his belt. That is often worth a lot and Karamoja ran keen and will probably improve more from it. We think a lot of both horses and Karafon can step up in grade now.

Down Royal Sat, 2nd Nov, 2024  Kala Conti Lisa (O'Neill, assistant trainer) is the only judge we have because she said she would win and we all went for the other one (Golden Joy)!. She's not a bad mare and she had graded form last year. I thought she would need the run to honest.
