Dundalk is where it’s at for a few more weeks. It’s nice to have the occasional runner up there. Cautious Approach has won three times on the track and is probably at her best there. She was fine the last night, I think she ran her race but got exposed in that grade over that trip. She needs to improve for this extra half mile and an argument could be made that she’s not fully exposed at this distance. Fingers crossed that’s the case. Another week closer to the turf season proper and some are starting to shape up and complete little pieces of work. I’ve never had better access to good riders than at present and it makes life infinitely easier. Ronan Whelan will be giving us a hand when he can and it means he will ride whatever he wants to of ours. He’s a top class rider and very easy to deal with, he being familiar with the horses will help. I’ve little enough to report otherwise. We were bathed in sunshine today for a few hours but Storm Jorge is poised to wipe the smile off our faces at the weekend. I work as a dentist on Saturdays, I should have them fed and a couple of the important ones ridden before I make my excuses to the lads and regrettably depart.
