Quotes on Johngus (IRE)
Mark and myself are Tallow-men (Waterford) and, while I went over before covid, everything got shut down so came home before returning to America. Mark is doing well for himself, was very good to me and I rode a hurdle winner for him. I'm based with Sean full-time and will stay riding as an amateur. This is great altogether and is very important as these are the people who are working with you every day. Stefan rode that horse well. He is in again here on Friday, so we'll see how he is. He is a good fun horse and has handled this place in the past. It is nice to get this.

Quotes on Away To Milan (IRE)
I felt I was getting good at training horses to finish second! Coming down here tonight I thought this lad had a decent chance. He made two mistakes the last day and tonight looked like a lesser contest really. I'll probably give him a break now for a month as he is a big raw five-year-old. He won nicely and it's great to get a winner. I had a second in the last race and another one last night at Ballinrobe and you'd be wondering what you had done wrong. The horses are flying though, and that's my third winner of the season. The track have done an amazing job here. I was disappointed to hear some of my comrades not happy with over watering. I think you can't water enough and on a night when it's drying out you have to err on the side of caution. Everyone is putting in a lot of work at the moment to have it safe. All of ours have come home safe this season and I think that's wonderful, so long may it last.

Quotes on Boghlone Honey (IRE)
She has a little nick on her tendon now which I'm worried about to be honest and we mightn't see her for a while unfortunately. It was unfortunate what happened at Naas the last day (unseated rider at the first) but she came on from Sligo, she felt very well and I was very happy with her at home. It was more competitive than Sligo and she did it well today. John (Murray) is from Offaly, is based in Boston and is supporting me well. She is a nice mare for him.

Quotes on Ragmans Corner (IRE)
He was a bit unlucky in Ballinrobe and Jack felt he didn't handle the track in Downpatrick,. This race looked winnable on his two runs before that. He was fourth in a maiden here on the Flat, and that was a very good run. He's a grand little horse, he was weak and took time but he's improving all the time. Jack said there are a couple more days in him. We'll try and get a mark with him on the Flat, he probably wouldn't be good enough to win a maiden but should be able to compete on the Flat at some stage. I'd say he's not a horse that will jump a fence, he's a bit small. When we ran him on maidens he ran well on winter ground but that would be his ground there. He shows nothing at home and it's very hard to be confident coming here with him. You'd be getting him scoped and taking bloods before he runs because boys were thinking he's dead in himself all week. I was thinking would I run him or not but the bloods were perfect so I said I'd take the chance.

Quotes on Glorytogod Tom (IRE)
That's Danny's first winner on the track and just his second ride against professionals. He is 18 and is in a good school with Liam Burke. He comes home to me then around midday. He is very tall but his weight is after stabling in the last year or two. He is lighter now than he was when he was 16. He rides away in point-to-point's every Sunday and had three winners point-to-pointing. This horse had a very good run in Cork and had very good horses in front of him. He was very free in his first run here at Wexford and he had to drop him in to settle him. They got wicked strung out the last day at Gowran and he found it very hard work to get back into the race. He finished seventh there and nothing was going to touch the first five home. Sixth would have been the best he could have managed there but I was very happy with his run there. My father is the owner, breeder and he is a grandson of Solerina. His half-brother won for me in Tramore. Fences will probably bring out the best in the two of them, but they will both be staying hurdling this season.

Quotes on Royal Time (IRE)
I'm delighted with that. I don't really follow the point-to-points, but I was asking Karl Thornton who is a good young lad and he said that this lad could ride. He was right. It was a very cool ride. It's his first winner on the track but he has seven winners this season pointing. The horse jumped very well, he just made a mess of the last but stayed on well.
