IT wasn’t a very busy week for us on the track and the weekend ahead mirrors that in what is a rare lull before we’re back into top gear during the week at Killarney and Leopardstown. At the same time, we’ll be preparing for some top class Curragh action of which I hope Laughing Lashes and Pathfork can be a major part.

DEBUTANTE Teo’s Sister lived up to her billing when landing the opening Irish Stallion Farms Maiden in emphatic style at Leopardstown last night.

PEOPLE might think that I should be used to the build-up for all these marquee races now but while some trainers can be very relaxed, I don’t think it’s something I could ever get used to.

JESSICA HARRINGTON, looking forward to a big run from Pathfork in the English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket tomorrow, saddled Blaze Brightly to land the www.tipperaryraces.ie Race at Tipperary last night.
