Quotes on Daily Present (IRE)

They looked like they went a proper gallop. Sean saying going down the back he let yer man slip on because they had gone fast enough. He just gave him a little flick, he wasn't hard on him, he was happy going to the last that he hadn't really gone for him. When Paul (Townend, on Bronn) came to him he went away from him. Sean thinks he's a proper one and I hope he's right. He has changed hands and that's his first run for them, it was sort of a pressure day so thankfully he won. We'll see about Fairyhouse and Punchestown with him. He was in the Albert Bartlett but off his ratings he had no real entitlement to go to that. I think he's a horse that could improve, he's a very slim sort of horse and is just strengthened a bit more and he's only five-years-old. He'll probably get one more run and that'll be it. I'd say he'll handle better ground as he's a very good mover. I was worried about the ground today, he had won on soft but this was proper tacky winter ground and he went through it well. I love the way he went through the line, it was the same in Fairyhouse. The two horses he beat there have won since. I always love a horse that finishes well and he finishes out through the line well, he has a good attitude.

Quotes on Peaches And Cream (IRE)

He ran a cracker in the Ulster National (third) and I left him a little bit short for that race, to be honest. I probably should have given him a run over hurdles before it. I was confident that he’d run a big race here today. We’ll see what the handicapper does but I suppose the Midlands National at Kilbeggan would be an obvious race to look at. He’s kept improving a bit and has youth on his side. He’s not that big and was a 1200 quid August Sale horse. He’s been a good servant. He might improve enough to be an Irish National horse, you never know.

Quotes on Enjoy D'allen (FR)

He has the makings of a lovely horse, we've known that and he improved from the last day, confidence-wise more than anything,. He really galloped to the line today and he impressed me. He hits a flat spot but with more racing that won't happen and he'll be some horse at the end of the year. He seems to go on any ground but he handles it well and we'll keep him going as a novice. We have 40 horses between flat and jumps and we're hoping this will help us along. We are open to a few more and we're going to keep the head down and keep working.

Quotes on Nine Graces (GB)

we pencilled in this mares' race after she won her maiden because she wants soft ground and we thought there would be a good chance of getting it here. It is very soft out there and it's taking a lot of getting so we said we'd keep five or six wide for the better ground. She's very simple to ride, I just told Michael (O'Sullivan) to take his time because only two horses got home in the two-mile race, before this one. When it gets testing here, they walk. she's a mare that loves jumping - we ran her in three bumpers and she kept getting worse with every run. She's totally different with an obstacle in front of her. I'd say that'll be it for the season and she's a nice prospect for those mares' hurdle races on soft ground next autumn/winter. I don't see why she wouldn't jump a fence in time, she has plenty of scope.

Quotes on Clonmeen (IRE)

The horses were all sick for about six weeks and it’s great to see them back in form. That was tight for comfort, but it was a tough performance, and the main thing is he won. We might think about something like the National Trial back here.

Quotes on Gringo D'aubrelle (FR)

He’s a nice horse but probably wants two and a half miles. I loved the way he put his head out. Davy (Russell) said when he was on his own he was very idle. He galloped all the way up the straight. The second horse is a nice horse and we had the experience of a run over hurdles and race fitness on our side. We’ll look at Christmas or Naas. I’ll have a word with Noel (Moran, owner) and see what we do. The further he goes the better he’ll be.

Quotes on Ringdufferin (IRE)

Jack (Kennedy) gave him a lovely ride, he got to dictate it from the front. Great for the owner, Alan Dunlop, who is local and here with all his friends at their local track. We'll try and find something for him, but it is great he has won now.

Quotes on Salmanino (FR)

It's job done, I suppose. He was entitled to win that, it was the ideal race for him. We'll maybe look for a staying handicap now. I'm so thankful for these races, where would I be going with a soft ground horse in the middle of the winter without these races? I would have been lost, wasting my time out the back somewhere and then you are struggling in handicaps. There is a great gang involved (Fauda Partnership) and they really enjoyed that. Paul McGinley's brother Mick has a leg and his dad is involved as well. There is a staying novice handicap in Navan before Cheltenham if the ground was still heavy. He's not a quick horse. Hopefully he can be competitive again, but that's job done for the year. His jumping is very good and for a big horse he is very clever. He needed to win that today as that was his Gold Cup. Old Soul jumped absolutely beautifully. He's not a hurdler and he's not quick and the longer you stay over hurdles the more you sour these horses. Because he jumps a fence well, we've gone chasing straightaway. You'll see him again in one of these races in a month's time.

Quotes on Prince Zaltar (FR)

Delighted to get that first win of the season and huge thanks to the owners (the Blind Squirrels Syndicate). He’s a lovely horse and Paddy was just unbelievable on him. Brilliant ride and got him there just on the line, it was fantastic to watch.
