Quotes on Lightkeeper (IRE)

He takes a bit of winding up. I got a big jump at the second last which probably left me there too soon but he winged the last and galloped to the line. The Barstool Prophets Syndicate includes my father and a bunch of friends from Summerhill and the surrounding area. I trained my first winner in Ireland for the same Syndicate many moons ago and they have been with me ever since so it’s great to train a winner for them at Galway. He was a bit disappointing so to win in Galway today is great for them and he might be a big chaser down the road.

Quotes on Notkeepinyagoing (IRE)

She deserves it as she's consistent. Although it's soft ground here today, it was just too soft in Tramore last time. Her form before that was pretty solid. Hopefully the handicapper doesn't take it too literally, it probably wasn't the greatest of maiden hurdles. She should be competitive off the mark she has now in a handicap or maybe a little winners' race somewhere. She doesn't owe them (Planetary Orbit Syndicate) anything as she's won a bumper in Galway and now a maiden hurdle here. She wasn't expensive. We'll keep going for another while. Now that she's got her head in front we'll have another crack at something.

Quotes on Cougar (JPN)

That was great. He's a lovely horse to have in the yard. Mark said he jumped great so you couldn't have asked for a better start. Mark said when he got going he really got the hang of it. It was a lovely introduction and he's an exciting horse to have in the yard, we're lucky to have him. I'd say Noel's horse probably stopped a little bit at the last and that helped him a bit but Mark thought he was going to get there anyway. We'll have a talk with Frank and JP and see where we go now.

Quotes on Whatsavailable (IRE)

I thought he’d make a lovely chaser and he’d two very disappointing runs. I then ran him back over hurdles and he didn’t seem to get home so we said we’d try a tongue tie today and it seems to have worked. He won here before, so he obviously likes the track and he jumped well today. He’s grand at home but gets very worked up when he comes racing so we put the red hood on him before the race. I’m not sure if he’s still qualified for the novice races for another week or two so we might find something.

Quotes on Fathom Two (IRE)

Hopefully we will come out on the right side of the enquiry, Keith didn't think there was much (in it) even though there is an enquiry. Once they got out of the dip, yes I was (confident he would get up the hill). He's versatile enough (with ground) - I don't think he will go on bottomless winter ground, but sure it is nice to get his head in front.

Quotes on Folly Beach (GB)

Her mother ran in a Goodwood Cup and was a black-type mare. It's been a nightmare to try and get her to switch off, she's just a very keen mare but she's very genuine and she was in very good form so we were hopeful she'd run a big race,. It was her first time over two miles. Fingers crossed she can go on from it. She has jumped hurdles already, jumps well, and that's the plan but I just thought that her dam is black-type and she's from a nice family so it's nice that she's won on the Flat.

Quotes on Quite Incredible (IRE)

He stayed at it well. He (O'Brien) said he travelled well and finished out the race well. . Better ground and cheekpieces combination. He was running over the winter and a lot of mine like nice ground. .Paddy's 7lb (claim) is a good seven and it worked out well.

Quotes on Arabian King (GB)

I'm from Tralee and I've always wanted to have a winner here, so at last! I ran a few last year but they didn't win. This horse has been running well all along but didn't get luck in running and Colin was very good on him. It is a great syndicate from Offaly who will enjoy it - there was four members but I think there are 24 now! They were previously involved with One Cool Poet (triple-Galway festival winner in 2019) so it is great to get a Listowel winner. He is a big, fun horse who will mix between flat and hurdles now and could go over and back to England. I have 40 horses in training, have a great team working including Davy Condon and have the best of lads riding out.

Quotes on Goodie Girl (IRE)

It was straightforward. I brought her here on Monday but brought her home as I thought the ground was a bit too quick for her,. I walked the track the morning and I was happy with it. He said that she travelled well, jumped well. She was a nice mare last year and hopefully she'll come on from the run. We'll see what the handicapper does and look for something similar. She cracked a little joint in her fetlock joint last year but seems to be none-the-worse for it.

Quotes on Warmer Days Ahead (FR)

He's a lazy gent. I thought with the heavy rain that came it wouldn't help him,. I thought he wanted better ground but he handled that well so I'm not so sure I was right. Phillip said he wouldn't handle heavy ground. The blinkers helped him as he was very sleepy in his races. Even when he hit the front today Phillip had to keep after him, he wouldn't do a whole pile. It's a good way to be. He holds condition, he does the same work as any other horse at home but at the same him he carries weight. He stands in the stable, eats everything and jog around the gallop at home. You'd say he wasn't put the effort in but hopefully that will all change after getting his head in front. I know the race cut up but I thought he had come on a good bit and he kept going. We'll go for another handicap and he can jump a fence as well.

He always runs rightly and he had run well here before. He should have won here in the spring time.
