Quotes on Shandy (IRE)

She ran well in the Listed race here the last day (in sixth) and won the race on her side. We were drawn 11 and 12 and the middle is the worse place to be, so we took a chance and it worked out. The ease in the ground helped as she needs an ease in the ground. We tried different things with hoods as she over-raced once or twice and it all came together today.

Quotes on Ano Syra (IRE)

Jamie has ridden five winners for me now from eight rides with two seconds and a fourth. He's doing well for me at the moment anyway,. We got her before Christmas, Charlotte and James were kind enough to send her to us, and she's kept improving. In fairness to Kevin Manning he's done a lot of work with her as well. We thought she'd get a bit of black-type in the future and we'd plot a course through the year with her. We were a little bit worried about the ground but she was brave, she has a big heart. I know she had a light weight but she was a three-year-old taking on older sprinters. She travelled really well and she's just a good filly.

Quotes on Dance Night Andday (IRE)

It's great to have Colin Keane on your side, he was brilliant on her. I didn't realise that it was only a nose,. It was a good performance carrying top-weight. She came out of Naas really well and she's a lovely filly to have. She's an improver and has a good temperament. She's lovely and relaxed. I walked through the barn last night and she was lying panned out, there wasn't a budge out of her. Colin said when he got to the front she pricked her ears and parked, she got idle. He knows her well, the three times she's won he's been on her. She'll probably dip her toe in a Listed race now and see where we are from there. There are a couple of different options for her. I stuck her in the Ballycorus at Leopardstown to have a look, as she's won around there before, but I'd say that will be tasty. I'd nearly go Listed before that. She has a good mind and definitely wants good ground, that's the key to her. It's lovely to have a really nice filly like her.

Quotes on Little Queenie (IRE)

We will probably try to get her into a Listed race at Tipperary, she won't run in the Group 3 at Naas. We'll see how that goes - that Tipperary race could suit her well. She's in great form. There is a Group 3 here and she will be kept in for that. The Group 1 entry (in Flying Five at Curragh) is definitely too far-fetched for her. I think she will get some black-type somewhere. I might travel her and if I don't get black-type this year, she will probably come in next year just to get some black-type. She might even run in-foal next year, possibly. We'll see what they (owners) feel. She has a great temperament. She never used to be like that, she has got better lately. She has got more laid-back as she has gone on.

Quotes on Ostraka (IRE)

We bought this animal in February, and Michael Halford who we bought her off will tell you as well, she has a bad back. This chap from Belgium used to come over to John Oxx 35 years ago and his son is better at it - I tried everybody including chiropractors since we bought her, and that owner has had some patience. It is his first ever horse. Your man Philippe came in and he yanked her back and looked at me and said in a Belgian accent ' that will either kill her or cure her!'. She was 460kg on that day and today she is 495kg. She is a grand filly. It is great to get a winner. We are having a disaster of a year and starting to come right now. The Joe McGrath (in the Curragh) will be the aim for her.

Quotes on Elinor Dashwood (IRE)

That was very good, she had come down a few pounds,. She was very free in Naas and I decided to put her asleep in the Curragh the last day. We learned a lot from her there over six, the way she came home. I said to Ronny today to put her asleep again today and ride her cold, which he did and she relaxed really well and looks a million dollars. She quickened twice, she quickened to get to them and quickened to go away from them. It was a class ride. The step up helped her, she relaxed a lot today. The Curragh can sometimes light a horse up as it's vast and open but she relaxed really well today. She'll get further and she might go for the big fillies handicap in the Curragh, if not we could look at Galway. She'll be well able to get the hill in Galway. We've plenty to look forward to.

Quotes on Firebird (GB)

She won well in Cork and this was an obvious next race for her. You'd like to think that it's a big part of her education completed and hopefully she can go forward from here,.

Quotes on Navassa Island (IRE)

She's a filly we've always liked and I'm delighted for her owner Abdullah. He bought this filly after her debut run at Naas,. We went to Ascot thinking we had a live one and things just didn't happen for her, with the way the race panned out. That can happen with a two-year-old, being so inexperienced going there. Things didn't work out the last day again but she's come out of that, back to six and she's finished out her race lovely. Dylan gave her a lovely ride. She looks like a filly that will continue to improve, she doesn't over-race and she settles and relaxes. She came home well and we're delighted for everyone. Dylan said he was going to get her to relax, get her behind something, and if he was happy with what was in front of him he was just going to follow. She's in the Debutante but it might be a little bit soon because she's actually starting to grow a little bit. We'll see what happens, we might step up in grade and stay at six. A faster run race might suit her. She's has black-type already, she's won her maiden, so now it's about trying to win a stakes race. Something like the Firth Of Clyde could be a race for her, she handles a little ease in it. She should be able to go and win her stakes race, she's a sister to a Group 1 winner (Lezoo) so it's all about adding to that now.
