Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Henri Matisse (IRE)

We're delighted with him. We thought he was a bit too babyish to go to Ascot and Wayne said he's still babyish. He said he'll love going up to seven and we might go up to seven next, we'll see what's there for the Phoenix Stakes. He's a lovely horse, tries very hard and is very genuine. He has an unbelievable pedigree.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Hill Road (USA)

We’ve always held this lad in good regard. We had him ready early in the year and he won a barrier trial in Naas. We backed off him as we wanted to give him time to strengthen up and to mature and he’s all there now. We’ll probably come back here for the Group 2 over a mile on Champions Weekend. He’s a very laid-back horse and takes a bit of revving up. It’s a good sign in a horse.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Rock Of Cashel (IRE)

He was just very babyish the first day and in fairness he's come forward from it. He's still quite babyish but he's going to be a lovely horse in time, he's still putting it all together. We might look at something like the Futurity for him, some of those nice races. Wayne was very happy with him and he thought he'd come forward nicely from the last day. There is still plenty more to come. We'll step him up into group company and see where he fits in with the rest of them.

Quotes on Scorthy Champ (IRE)

He's a well-bred horse and we liked him, obviously. I think everyone was liked in the race, every time I looked there was money coming for something else,. They were a proper bunch on pedigrees, well-bred horses. I thought he was very impressive. Dylan said he was quite green early so he just took his time. When he got a bit of room he said he opened up really well. He had been working very nicely, and he's very well-bred. He looks very smart. I suppose the obvious thing is to come back here for the Tyros Stakes, let's see how he pulls up and take it from there. He'll be going down that National Stakes path. I know he's a Mehmas but he's a big horse and his family were better three-year-olds. We won't be forcing him but he looks very smart.
