Qulinton's Worcester Win!

The stable's horses continue in good form and I thought that Hunterview ran a cracker to finish third (at 25/1) in the Swinton on Saturday at Haydock.  Spanish Cruise occupied the same position at Worcester yesterday and I am sure that his turn in the winners' enclosure is not far away, meanwhile Qulinton won the 2 1/2 mile handicap chase under Conor O'Farrell.  It seems to me that young Conor is improving with every ride and he was seen to great effect aboard Qulinton as he won by a short head - this followed hot on the heels of his win aboard Trucker's Delight at Punchestown on Saturday and the young Irishman will now claim 3lbs (rather than 5)...even so, he looks very good value for it.

I was very impressed by the Aidan O'Brien trained Admiral Of The Red at Leopardstown yesterday.  He only won a 1m4f maiden, but he couldn't have done it more emphatically - he looks as though he will stay a lot further and could finish up being quite a lot better than this grade, he is definitely one to keep on the right side of and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him turn up at Royal Ascot next month for something like the Queen's Vase.

Following another defeat, I have been receiving loads of texts from people saying goodbye to the Hammers from premiership football...people can be so cruel!  Nevermind, we won't be down for long.  To make matters worse, after Man Utd beat Chelsea at the weekend, it is only a matter of time before I start getting grief from Tony Lomas or our head lad Eddie as well.
