Quotes on Happy Jacky (IRE)

He has proven stamina and Ronnie gave him a brilliant ride. He doesn't help himself because he doesn't travel great, he needs a strong gallop. I haven't come across a horse as tough as him. He is running over all these marathon trips the whole time and you can't believe how well he bounces out of it. He has done us proud this summer and hopefully he is not finished yet. We thought we would go down to a ladies' maiden down in Tramore and you come up against Familiar Dreams. He is a right horse owned by magnificent people. We were thinking of travelling him, over hurdles as well too, but then this race showed its face and we said we have to come here. He suffers a little bit from heat stress. As soon as he finishes, we get water onto him straight away and he bounces out in 15 minutes. He's grand.

Quotes on Ambitious Fellow (IRE)

Sam made a good move to nip up the inner before coming down the hill and it could have been the winning and losing of it. It was a brave move but it worked out great for him,. He lost his form a little bit but had an issue after he ran at Limerick last year and it took him a while to get back right. He had a lovely run the last day when he was completely wrong at the weights, but it gave him confidence coming here. I was worried about the ground but it worked out great. Tthere are four involved in the OGB Partnership including Ber (wife) and after he won a bumper we brought him to the sales but couldn't get anyone to buy him. We brought him home and he has now won at the Punchestown festival and has landed a big pot today. We had four winners last year, we've had good old craic again and it has been brilliant.

Quotes on Talk In The Park (IRE)

A good run the last day and I suppose he deserved to be the price he was. . Loads of experience and I'd say when he came to us his work had been nice. I really fancied him the first day he ran and he ran terribly and was beaten 50 lengths on very heavy ground. . His best runs have been on this surface and I presume that's what he likes - he was second the last day in Ballinrobe on good ground. . I'd say the key to him probably nice ground so we will keep him going now for the summer, the fact that he is handling it well. . He had a couple of real good runs with Mags (Mullins) and a real good run behind Harvard Guy in Navan one day. I spoke to Mags the other day and she thought the same that a nicer surface just helps him. . He stays well and probably wants a trip, I'd say three miles is right up his alley. Today was even sharp enough for him - it didn't look plain sailing and I was getting nervous, but he won really well in the end. . He'll be good fun for the summer and he might go to Galway.

Quotes on Rich Belief (GB)

It was very straightforward and there are no hard luck stories around a big track like this. If everything goes right he's not a bad horse on his day. The ground went for him in Galway and from the draw he got a bit crowded as well. He'll probably go to Perth now, there is a good hurdle there for him in nine days time.

Quotes on Macgiloney (IRE)

He’s a ten-year-old now and that’s 11 races that he’s won, he’s a brilliant servant. He’s been a bit in and out this year but would have won here two runs ago when he stumbled at the back of the last so he deserved that. Looking at the race he was meeting them all wrong at the weights but they are all old horses and have two ways of running at this stage so we said we’d take our chance. Hopefully the handicapper won’t react too harshly. They are hard horses to place. We pulled him out of Galway because of the ground and then we ran on similar ground here. It’s loose here so we got away with it. Extreme trips suit him and if we could get three and a half miles that would be great. Daniel gave him a lovely ride and had him in all the right places.

Quotes on Mossy Fen (IRE)

He'd obviously been through a few academies and then he came to us,. We've just played with him, freshened him up and he's come back to himself — we wouldn't have run if he hadn't. . He seems to be back enjoying life so we'll take it step by step. He's a lovely character of a horse.

Quotes on Rocky's Diamond (IRE)

I had been disappointed with a couple of my runners in the past few weeks but was happy with the way this fella worked during the week and told David (Kiely, owner) to have a few quid on him,. Shane gave him a great ride and he is a nice horse who jumps well. He is a half-brother to (six-time winner) The Little Yank, is a grand horse and we might send end up sending him to Doncaster (sales). His owner also had last year's champion point-to-pointer Rocky's Howya but he got a leg at the end of last year.

Quotes on Sir Bob (IRE)

We are thrilled to get that as we were worried about running him back so soon after Limerick. When the ground was like this I said I'd keep going and three miles suited,. The minute he jumped the third hurdle I knew he was on song and was loving it. He really likes around here, seems to love the hurdles here and won here three years ago when it was like the river. He'll probably go for the 3m6f handicap chase at the Punchestown festival now as he finished second in it last year. There is a three-mile hurdle here during Easter but it is 0-116 and he might be out of it now.

Quotes on Flash De Touzaine (FR)

I've always loved this horse but he is mentally fragile, although is going the right way. He jumped beautifully, having been a bit novicey last year and we rode him more positively as we wanted to try something different. hopefully he is a National type horse and you'd hope he will take a step forward with more experience as it was only his fifth run over fences. He is a pure natural with an obstacle coming to him. Paul (Nicholls, previous trainer) had a few issues with him but mentally he is coming along the whole time and I was very pleased they allowed me to take him back. He travels and jumps in this deep stuff and if that can do that, it is a big benefit to them. There are lots to look forward to.

Quotes on Grange Walk (IRE)

I thought he was the only horse in the field capable of winning a Grade 2 and the rest were handicappers. He's a bit more than a handicapper,. He's been a bit of an unlucky sort. Liam Quinlan gave him a tip top ride. He's a brave lad over a fence. He'll go to Aintree, the owner wants to go there. He'll go to a two-mile handicap, he's entitled to go there. He's a proper two mile chaser and the blinkers probably helped a bit.

Quotes on Kells Priory (IRE)

He took a bit of time to mature. We probably did a bit too much with him last season but he has come back a better and stronger horse. I thought he would need the run but the (Bullseye) syndicate are local so we said we’d run and it’s great that it has worked out.
