After race at Thurles Thu, 10th Oct, 2019 (1st) 
Darragh is a great rider and the 5lbs claim on the flat was grand, . That was his first flat winner and Bay Hill is a right little horse. He is as honest as the day is long and that was his 11th win today; I could do with a few more like him. We'll keep him going and might go for a chase if the ground doesn't get too heavy, otherwise we could wait until next year.

He's a great little horse to have and he's after winning ten races now. I'm delighted with him,. Horses like him are hard to come by and he wins every year. He's ran 40 times and has won 10. Darragh said he got a bit tight there and said he would have been an unlucky loser. Darragh is flying and is a free 5lb at the moment. I was keen enough to run him over fences but we'll see. We'll see how he is and there's a novice chase in Listowel but in some of those winners of one he can be a bit wrong at the weights. We'll keep him going anyway. He likes that good ground and as long as we get that we'll keep the show on the road.

That's nine wins now for us and he is a great little servant. He was hardly ever out of the first three last year,. Darragh gave him a great ride, he is a free seven pounds. He needed all of that seven to win but it's great to get it and it's great to get him started over fences. He is a summer horse and as long as the ground is good we will keep him going.

He is a great old horse and that's his eighth win. He is a great horse to have and Liam's 7lbs claim made all the difference. He's riding well. That's his level and while he is a summer horse, we'll keep going while the ground is still good.

It's great to get a winner at Listowel and that's his seventh win for us and he's been a great horse. He has won five on the Flat and that's his second win over hurdles. He likes flat tracks and we'll keep him going now, why not. He ran well on the Flat at the Curragh and hopefully he might go back for a Flat race. There may be another hurdle or two in him too.

that’s my eighth winner and my first for Mr McManus. He (Bay Hill) jumped and travelled well and quickened up. We thought the quicker ground here mightn’t suit but he handled it well.

he was workmanlike but got there and in fairness he battled away once the other horse came to him. We'll probably find another flat race for him before going back over hurdles. He doesn't mind the ground.
