Quotes on The Dabbler (IRE)

I've been point-to-pointing for Colin Bowe but I'm doing the course next week and will be turning professional. I'm going to be based with Colm Murphy and am looking forward to it. I've had five rides for Liam (Cusack) and three have won. That's my third winner under Rules and I've ridden four point-to-point winners.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ardaghs Choice (IRE)

in fairness his is quirky and he'd have won in Kilbeggan only for what happened. I thought he'd win today but with all the rain, I got watery!. he likes to go a trip and is in great form. The horses were out of form but they are coming back now and he'll go for a same race again, or a hurdle. He is very much ground dependent and wouldn't want it any worse than yielding. Hopefully we can kick a few more over the bar.

Quotes on Greenway Machine (IRE)

Greenway Machine actually loves this track, so we came up for a 0-95. He's a lovely horse and a great horse to jump. Cian (Cullinan, jockey) gave him a super ride and I'm delighted!. The owner (Peter Killen) got stuck in traffic - he's probably just in the car park somewhere!
