    Cunco looked very good and took to racing well at the end.

    I may be viewing that race through Green, Pink and white glasses but were the way his front legs reached out and hit down on the ground exactly like his dad?

    Thought went through my mind as well.

    Had a lot of his traits but not quite the frightening explosive power...yet!

    Very exciting to see how they go through the year.

    I see FABRICATE has gone all the way to Hamilton from Newmarket in the next. Seems along way to go for your seasonal debut. On at 7/2.

    How about Rachael Blackmore at Kilbeggan this evening, hugely impressive riding, knowing when to push the button and press on and knowing her horse well enough to know they will last home..Top stuff <applause>

    Spanish Boy was given an odd time of it I think, great position to start and Carroll slowly let him drop back to the very back when they were going a moderate pace up front, then appeared to be "trying" up the home straight...Ger Lyons is notoriously difficult to catch right, watch out for this lad because he will pop up at a decent price by the end of summer.

    A very underrated rider STH, she's one I've noticed getting better and better.
