Good to chat with @paulcolgan @IrishTimes about my views on the impact of the Trump Presidency for Ireland 🇮🇪 and my quote “Michael O’Leary is somebody I think Donald Trump would be in awe of” + “it’s not all doom & gloom….”

We were delighted to get home to see En Or win the Tipperary Cup and such a brilliant race by @BenCoen2 next stop @LeopardstownRC

En Or came from last to first in the extended two-mile Camida Advantage Tipperary Cup Handicap at Clonmel to plunder a double for jockey Ben Coen.

The six-year-old gelding dropped to rear and looked to have plenty of work to do a furlong and a-half from home.

Coen soon got after him and the pair availed of a seam along the inner to make good headway a furlong out.

Forward momentum continued as they picked it up in the final 150 yards and sailed on well to win by a growing two and a-half lengths at 8/1 for Cathy O'Leary. Jabbar took second at 7/2.

O'Leary led up the winner and winning owner John Hartnett reported: "We came in from San Francisco two days ago and live in Silicon Valley.

"I'm originally from Limerick and we have a house in north Tipperary, so to win the Tipperary Cup is brilliant."

[John Hartnett @cjhartnett]

It was a super win for En Or tonight & a brilliant race by @BenCoen2 - The Tipperary Cup stays in Tipp tonight
