Quotes on Victor's Choice (IRE)
That's brilliant. Everything worked out fantastic as she needs a nice bit of ease in the ground. We were praying for rain and it just came at the right time for her. We were coming here very confident when we seen the rain. There is a big crew follows this filly, all the Fosters and McLoughlins are involved in her. She had a great run here last October when she was second, she was unlucky not to win. That was on soft to heavy ground so we knew she handled the track and all we needed was a bit of ease in the ground.

Quotes on Everylittlestep (IRE)
She took a long time to get it together. She had a little problem with her wind last year and it’s just taken her a bit of time to get her confidence and she’s got it now. She seemed to do it nicely and we might aim a bit higher for some prize money and get in off low weights in a couple of bigger handicaps. There is a couple of fillies' only handicaps coming up and she might just sneak into the bottom of the handicap in those. We’ll see what the handicapper does and, if he’s very hard on her, he might give me no option but to turn her back in the Curragh on Sunday and, if he’s sensible, we’ll wait. She likes a gap between her races, but if he gives me no choice we might just try it and see what happens.

Quotes on Best Law (IRE)
Gary thought one or two of them might go on but they were going a fairly pedestrian pace so he let him roll along. He seemed happy enough in front and he handled the track well. He handled it better than Galway the last day. In against the older horses and on the slow ground, it seemed to scupper him a bit. Back on the nicer surface here he got the job done. . He'll stay going down the handicap route and we'll plot our course with him. At some stage he'll be a nice dual-purpose horse for someone. There is plenty of size about him, he gets a trip and he's not slow either. That'll be probably where he ends up.

Quotes on Barrogstown Girl (IRE)
Her form was good - we were a little worried about coming down to a tricky track, but she handled it well. She was down a bit in distance, but we know she is a fairly sharp filly and were happy with her. She is doing job well and Neve gave her a very cool ride. She is owned and bred by my brother Michael and it is great they he is here as he was on holidays the last day she won.

Quotes on Bizarre Dreams (IRE)
She came out of her last race very well, it was a good setup for her today and everything went very well. She got to the front well, but idled a little bit when she got there. I thought at the start of the year she would win a race or two for us, but it has taken a while although I'm glad to get her off the mark. We'll keep her busy from now until the end of the year.
