3rd September 2010 - Kilbeggan
Friday
Etcetera Etcetera (Paul Townend) reverts to fences in the 3m 1f handicap chase.
She seems in good form and hopefully the ground won't be too firm for her. She
is a course and distance winner and with a bit of luck she might repeat the
dose. Sainte Careigne (Patrick) runs in the bumper. She will appreciate the 2m
3f trip and handles fast ground well. Hopefully she will at least get into the
money.
2nd September 2010 - Clonmel
Thursday
Phantasy Rock (Eddie Linehan) runs in the 1m 2f handicap. She has a 5lb penalty
for her win at Weford last Friday but she has a lot in her favour here. She will
like the ground and the track and the drop back in trip shouldn't cause her any
problems. Anderson Mcauley (Patrick) goes for the bumper. He was a good second
at Kilbeggan last time and might be able to go one better here. He will handle
the track and will love the ground.
30th August 2010 - Epsom
Monday
Laughing Boy (Patrick) goes for the Amateur Derby over 1m 4f. He has
disappointed from bad draws on the last two occasions but we still think a fair
bit of him. He is well drawn and we think the track will suit. However, we are
hoping that the rain stays away as this fellow wouldn't want soft ground.
30th August 2010 - Downpatrick
Monday
Lillian's Secret (Katie Walsh) runs in the Ladies Bumper. She will appreciate
the fast ground and, being well-bred, we are hoping that she will get a bracket
in what appears to be a very ordinary race.
29th August 2010 - Galway
Monday
Wee Giant (Eddie Linehan) goes for the 1m 4f handicap. He ran a cracker when
just failing at Tramore over 2f further and the drop back in trip here shouldn't
inconvenience him. He will like the ground and must have a great chance. How The
Chap makes his debut in the 1m 4f maiden. He will love the ground but this looks
like a strong contest for a newcomer.
28th August 2010 /span>- Galway
Saturday & Sunday
Clonard Lad (Ruby) was to run in the 2m 2f maiden hurdle. Unfortunately he has
met with a set-back and will be out for the rest of the summer. On Sunday Not
For Converting (Patrick) goes for the winners bumper. He will be suited by the
track and the 2m 4f trip should be ideal. With the field down to just four, this
could be his day. He is in great form.
27th August 2010 /span>- Wexford
Friday
Phantasy Rock (Eddie Linehan) goes for the 1m 3f apprentice handicap. She went
up 5lbs for her win at Killarney but could be good enough to defy that rise. She
has an extra 3f to race here but we don't think that will bother her. The fast
ground is ideal and we will be very disappointed if she doesn't fight out the
finish. Apt Manor (Patrick) runs in the mares winners bumper. She won nicely at
Tramore following two sterling efforts at Galway. She will like the ground and
should go very close.
22nd August 2010 - Ballinrobe
Sunday
Strain Of Fame (David Casey) runs in the 2 mile 4yo handicap hurdle. He ran a
cracker when third on the flat at Tramore a week ago and a similar performance
here would give him every chance. He will like the ground and the track and has
a nice handy weight. This could be a nice opportunity.
20th August 2010 - Kilbeggan
Friday
Etcetera Etcetera (Ruby Walsh) goes for the 2m 3f mares novice hurdle. We are
running her over hurdles as we think she might jump them better than she jumps
fences. She won't mind the ground and hopefully the trip will be okay. Anderson
Mcauley (Patrick) runs in the bumper. He ran too free at Galway but if he
settles here he will go very close.
20th August 2010 - Killarney
Friday
Inspector Clouseau (Gary Carroll) runs in the 1m 6f handicap. He will like the
trip and the ground but this race may be coming too soon after his run at
Tramore last Saturday.
19th August 2010 - Killarney
Thursday
Allure Of Illusion (Patrick) makes his debut in the bumper. He is a half brother
to Blackstairmountain and will like the fast ground. He is a bumper type and
should also have a nice career over hurdles.
18th August 2010 - Killarney
Wednesday
We run two in the 1m 6f handicap. Deutschland (Eddie Linehan) hasn't got a great
draw but he will like the ground, provided it doesn't go soft. Laughing Boy (Pat
Smullen) is not well drawn either but he will love the trip and the fast ground.
Red Tiger (Patrick) has a chance in the bumper, provided the rain stays away. He
has each-way prospects.
17th August 2010 - Killarney
Tuesday
Phantasy Rock (Eddie Linehan) runs in the 1mile handicap. She will like the
ground and the track. Hopefull she will show a little improvement from her last
run which should get her into the shake-up here.
15th August 2010 - Tramore
Sunday
Johny's Lantern (Patrick) runs in the mares bumper. She showed her
inexperience when running very free at Galway. Hopefully she will have learnt a
lot from that run and she will be suited by the fast ground here. We are
concerned that this track may not be ideal for her but she should run a good
race nevertheless.
14th August 2010 - Tramore
Saturday
Inspector Clouseau (Gary Carroll) goes for the 2 mile handicap. He ran too
free at galway so we are going to change tactics here. He will love the ground
and we think he will handle the track. We run two in
the 1m 6f handicap. Wee Giant (Eddie Linehan) He ran well enough at Sligo and
shapes as if he needs a trip like this. He will act on the ground and we are
hoping he will be good enough to get into the shake-up. Strain Of Fame (Gary Carroll)
has been very disappointing so far. He will go on the ground and we are hoping
that he might show some improvement for Gary Carroll.
13th August 2010 - Tramore
Friday
Maggie Connolly (Katie Walsh) runs in the 2 mile ladies maiden. She won a bumper
over 2m 2f on her debut at Wexford and this trip won't be a problem. The ground
will really suit her and we are expecting a big run.
12th August 2010 - Tramore
Thursday
Apt Manor (Patrick) goes for the bumper. The trip and ground should be ideal.
This looks like an ideal opportunity for her to open her account. We will be
disappointed if she doesn't win today.
11th August 2010 - Gowran
Wednesday
Phantasy Rock (Eddie Linehan) runs in the 1m 1f apprentice handicap. She ran
disappointingly at Fairyhouse last time but the ground was softer than she
likes. We are expecting a much better run here on ground that will be much more
to her liking. Hopefully she will be another winner for her promising young
rider.
9th August 2010 - Ballinrobe
Monday
Diego Garcia (Paul Townend) reverts to hurdles in the 2m 4f handicap hurdle. He
disappointed on the flat at Galway but will like this trip and the ground. He
has a lot of weight but we are hoping for a big run. Morning Legend (Paul
Townend) goes for the 2 mile maiden hurdle. She has experience over hurdles and
will go on the ground. However, we are more hopeful than confident of her
chances in what looks like a fairly good race.
8th August 2010 - Downpatrick
Sunday
Sainte Careigne (Patrick) runs in the bumper. She ran a promising race first
time out at Roscommon but needs to improve on that to get into the money today.
7th August 2010 - Kilbeggan
Saturday
Etcetera Etcetera (Paul Townend) goes for the 3m 1f handicap chase. She was very
disappointing at Killarney last time and will need to improve her jumping if she
is to figure here. Three Monkeys (Patrick) runs in the bumper. We are hoping she
will perform a bit better here than on her first run for us at Cork last month.
She will act on the ground and could run well in what appears to be a weak race.
5th August 2010 - Leopardstown
Thursday
Strain Of Fame (Davy Moran) runs in the 2 mile handicap. He ran in his first
handicap hurdle at Sligo last month and was very disappointing. He reverts to
the flat her and we are hoping that he will run much better. The drier ground
will suit him but he may be too high in the ratings to have a realistic chance
in a race like this.
3rd August 2010 - Roscommon
Tuesday
Earls Quarter (Patrick) goes for the bumper. We were delighted with his first
run when he finished third in a big field at the Punchestown Festival. The form
of that race has worked out very well and, with normal improvement, our fellow
must have a great chance here. Hopefully the ground won't be too fast.
2nd August 2010 - Naas Monday
Local Celebrity (Patrick) makes his debut in the bumper. He is a very nice sort
by Bach and is fit and ready to run. He will act on the ground and will love
this 2m 3f trip. We are expecting him to be involved at the business end here.
1st August 2010 - Galway
Sunday
Not For Converting (Patrick) runs in the winners bumper. He ran a nice race when
third at Killarney last time and hopefully he will show further improvement
here. He will need to if he is to pose a threat to Viking Visitor, whose form is
rock solid.
31st July 2010 - Galway
Saturday
Red Vinto (Paul Townend) reverts to hurdles in the 2m 5f handicap hurdle. On the
plus side, he will love the fast ground but he hasn't run for over a year and
has plenty of weight. This is probably a big ask for a horse that is fully
exposed. Anderson Mcauley (Patrick) goes for the bumper. He is improving all the
time and will appreciate the quick ground. He was second over 2m 4f last time
and the drop back to 2 miles here will be in his favour. We are expecting him to
go close today.
30th July 2010 - Galway
Friday
Laughing Boy (Gary Carroll) goes for the 1m 4f handicap. He went up 13lbs for
winning over this trip at Fairyhouse but he will really appreciate the fast
ground here. Hopefully, he will get into the shake-up today.
29th July 2010 - Galway
Thursday
We have just one runner today. Johny's Lantern (Patrick) makes her debut in the
bumper. She is a really nice sort and will act on the ground. She is fit and
well and we are expecting a very good run.
28th July 2010 - Galway
Wednesday
Pozyc (Patrick) goes for the 1m 4f QR maiden. He will like the ground and the
track but has a bad draw to overcome. He has each-way prospects. We run two in
the Galway Plate. Deutschland (David Casey) will love the track and handle the
ground but has a lot of weight. Themoonandsixpence (Paul Townend) has a lovely
weight and the ground will suit, but he lacks experience for a race like this.
We are probably asking a lot of him but it is hard to pass up a crack at such a
good prize.
27th July 2010 - Galway Tuesday
Clonard Lad (Paul Townend) runs in the 2 mile maiden hurdle. This is his debut
over hurdles but he has run in point to point and schools well. This trip may be
a bit on the short side but he should give a good account of himself in what
appears to be a ver hot contest. We run two in the 2 mile handicap. Diego Garcia
(Paul Townend) loves this track having won this race a few years ago. He ran
well enough at the Curragh last time and will handle today's ground. He has a
live chance. Inspector Clouseau (Pat Smullen) is having his first run for us. He
will like the ground and we think he needs this trip. Hopefully the change of
scenery has brought about some improvement and we are expecting a nice run from
him.
26th July 2010 - Galway Monday
Ballyhaunis (Patrick) runs in the ver competitive looking 2 mile amateur
handicap. He ran well over 1m 4f at the Curragh last month but this will be his
first time over 2 miles. The recent rain should have left the ground perfect for
him. Apt Manor (Patrick) goes for the bumper. She has had a few setbacks and
hasn't run since finishing second at Galway last year. She has been ready to run
for a while but the ground has been too firm. The slight ease in the ground here
will be ideal. However, Dermot Weld's horse could be hard to beat.
20th July 2010 - Ballinrobe
Tuesday
We have a newcomer called Grande Luso (Patrick) in the bumper. He has a lovely
French pedigree and is a real hurdler in the making. He is fit and well but we
think he would prefer better ground. However, we have decided to take our chance
and hopefully he will get into the shake-up.
16th July 2010 - Kilbeggan
Friday
Des Res (Katie Walsh) makes his racecourse debut in the bumper. He has a good
pedigree and we will know more about his ability after this.
15th July 2010 - Killarney
Thursday
De Senectute (Paul Townend) runs in the 2m 1f handicap hurdle. We are concerned
about the ground for her but, with a theoretical stone in hand,we have to take
our chance. Dazzle Dancer
(Gary Carroll) has her first run for us in the 1m 3f maiden having been
previously trained by Dermot Weld. She has a nice pedigree and needs cut in the
ground but she might be better suited to running in a handicap. Laganbank (Patrick)
goes for the bumper. He has been very disappointing on his two outings to date
but we are hoping that he might reach the frame here.
14th July 2010 - Killarney
Wednesday
Huckle Buck Shoe (Paul Townend) goes for the 2m 6f handicap hurdle. This is his
first run in a handicap but he will appreciate this trip. The one concern is the
ground. Hopefully the rain will stay away as this fellow wouldn't want it too
soft.
