O'Keeffe's Silent springs shock in Grade 2
It is a great win and I must dedicate it to my wife Claire who lost her mother Peggy last week. She was always the first one to ring me after we won a race so this is great for Claire and my family,. We have been jumping hurdles all year but the lads have been saying to jump fences and she is a fantastic jumper who is improving all the time. We were hopeful as she was in great form and Danny gave her a fantastic ride. Credit also to the lads Larry, Eddie, Justin and Dylan at home as they have done fantastic work with her. We have had the family for three generations and you could write what I know about training horses on a postage stamp, as breeding is our game. I'm delighted for Tadhg (O'Sullivan, joint-owner) who has been with me with our horses from the beginning.
Cosy success for Fabiolo in Hilly Way
I was a little worried as I had five other runners today and none of them shone so I was thinking this could be one of those days but he got the job done. He was workmanlike and was very free with Paul over the first three fences,. He didn't get too high (in jumping) and Paul was trying to not let his head go and didn't want him running too free. He relaxed at the second fence down the back straight and was able to do things properly. If he needed a race, Jack Kennedy (on runner-up Fil Dor) was there to test him and he did.
Leche storms home to win under owner Bustin
I've always been into horses and my father David was a good rider but probably gave up prematurely. He rode professionally and was stable jockey to Michael Hourigan at the start. I gave up riding and did a college course but being indoors wasn't very good for me!. I had another mare who won a maiden hurdle at Wexford (in 2021) and she is in foal now. All my family were there that day and they're here today as well, so it is brilliant. I'm delighted for Anthony who works for me and he claimed the horse. I recommended him for E10,000 as he was looking for a horse to ride and I thought this fella would give him plenty of fun. He is a quirky horse who can take off after jumping the last and I'm delighted for Anthony. I don't think anyone had too much money on but it doesn't matter.
