Trainer Quotes

Quotes on The Big Chap (IRE)

It was a suitable race being for second-season novices and the ground was key,. We had aimed for a race at Killarney this summer but it turned up soft, although he still ran well. That is his trip as well. We'll go to the November meeting in Cheltenham with him for a 0-145 which I think he'll get into and I would also love to go to Aintree with him too.

Quotes on Railway Hurricane (IRE)

He's been disappointing, I thought he'd win a bumper,. He disappointed a few times so I'm delighted with that as he works well at home. I thought the issue was that he wasn't showing battling qualities but to be fair to him he did today.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Gaelic Arc (IRE)

I couldn't believe who made that horse 14/1, it was a joke! We changed the way of riding him and he didn't come off the bridle at Down Royal, so I was wondering what I was missing - I couldn't understand it. He had gone off the boil after having a hard race behind American Mike last December and he loves the top of the ground. His half-brother won (Galop Marin) won four French Grade 1s. That chap (Prendergast) is in with me three days a week and this horse was his first winner as a conditional jockey at Down Royal. I left him on again today and it is great for him.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Grange Walk (IRE)

I thought he was the only horse in the field capable of winning a Grade 2 and the rest were handicappers. He's a bit more than a handicapper,. He's been a bit of an unlucky sort. Liam Quinlan gave him a tip top ride. He's a brave lad over a fence. He'll go to Aintree, the owner wants to go there. He'll go to a two-mile handicap, he's entitled to go there. He's a proper two mile chaser and the blinkers probably helped a bit.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on The Little Yank (IRE)

I fancied Ferdia a bit more but this is a smashing horse. I'd say he struggled throughout the race because his main aim is Listowel and this race should put him right. I'm not sure yet what race he'll go for next week. He'll definitely have taken a blow there. I worked him with The Dara Man (pulled up injured earlier on the card) and The Dara Man worked a lot better than him but he obviously improved from the work. A horse like him that won two bumpers, when he jumped the last upsides he was always going to quicken past those. He has a bit of class. Kevin gave him a peach of a ride and that's three rides, three winners he's had for me now in the last week.
