Jumping connections take the opener at the Curragh
Bid For Chester scores for Mulvany and Joyce
He's a very genuine little horse. The syndicate are local to me and I'm delighted for them. He ran well in he Madrid, I actually thought we had a bit in hand there but he ran into one. We took a chance today coming back in trip. If I didn't bring him here I had to bring him somewhere else to work him so I said I'd run for the money and get a pipe opener. He'll probably go to Navan for the Listed race (Committed Stakes) next Saturday, all going well. He's been tipping away in big pots and we were a little bit unlucky in one of the big sales races at the backend of the year, we just didn't get a clear run. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards with him.
Crystal Black again shows his liking for the Curragh
It's great to get it. It was his first run and we didn't know about the ground for him with ten stone. We had him ready early this year for the Lincoln but he got a setback before it. He probably would have needed the run in the Lincoln anyway so it maybe worked out better. We're hoping he's a black-type horse, that's the road you'd have to go I think. There are a couple of big handicaps on Guineas weekend and one in Cork, but that's over seven and it might be a bit sharp for him. He won over a mile-and-two here on Champions Weekend.
State Actor looks the part in mile maiden
He has a very good pedigree and we like him but I wasn't sure about the ground. I was hoping we would have an edge in fitness having been to Dundalk. The one in front left me nervous and Chris said he got there too soon, he said it took him a while to pull him up and he likes him a lot. I hope to turn him into euros but we'll see. Gary Davis bred him, the mare had been disappointing but is very well bred and Raven's Pass is a good stallion.
White Birch regains winning thread in the Alleged Stakes
Moore has the winning formula on Chemistry
He's hardy and he stays well, he gave him a good ride. He's a horse that looks like he'll stay well.
Mercurial justifies good support in the finale
