Controversial demotion in Kilbeggan's opener

Townend 95 - 88 Blackmore

Pacemaker Irregularheartbeat gets off the mark

we thought she'd have won her hurdle before now. At the start of the year we thought she'd want three miles but then we dropped her back to two miles and she ran well. She was running a nice race the last day but she fell. She just got tracked back a little bit and fell at the last, she wouldn't have won but probably would have been placed. On better ground today he was better off letting her go on, up out of the way. I'd say she'll probably go over fences now.

Meade reflects on 'swings and roundabouts'

really didn't think. his Hymie Weiss would be promoted to win Kilbeggan's controversial opening maiden hurdle today, despite the gelding's jockey Sean Flanagan offering a differing view.

Bob Olinger's sister wins for Garda Roche

she's a very good mare and she has an excellent pedigree. We had two of her sisters and they were both good bumper mares. She looks quite Myska and her brother (Cheltenham winner Bob Olinger) looks very exciting as well. She was plenty keen and it took me about half a furlong to really start motoring but I couldn't pull her up. I pulled up a furlong past everyone else and I hope she's a black-type mare. We'll probably look for something on nice safe ground for her. They did a great job of the ground here today.

Mullins scoots clear with 'paint on my boot' ride

he doesn't show that at home; at home he is much more laid-back and keeps a lot for himself, I'd say. For a big horse he cornered like a motorbike and I have paint all over my boot! I couldn't believe how well he handled the track for such a big horse. He loves that good ground, has plenty of size and could probably jump a fence no problem in time but I'd like to think that I might get a winners bumper out of him after that. I was very surprised to win 19 lengths. He's a different horse on grass than he is at home.
