Quotes on Power Under Me (IRE)
The trainer was telling me it was trainer error the last day, but it wasn’t as the ground was beautiful on Champions Weekend and he’s just told us that we’ll only run him again on slower than good. . He is ground dependent and soft is his ideal ground. He absolutely owes us nothing and has been a great servant for Vincent and Geraldine (Gaul) who are great supporters of ours. . We had him in at Cork the other day, but the ground was just on the yielding side of good and with this coming up, we weren’t going to chance that. . Himself and Mutasarref are two of the stalwarts of the yard and they could meet in the Knockaire at Leopardstown (on October 20).

Quotes on Norwalk Havoc (GB)
He said he hated the tacky ground. He doesn't do a stroke, he was looking at everything but he'll get there. That was only his third run and I'm delighted with him,. Shane said he'll be better on a bit better ground, he said that's really tacky. We'll take little baby steps with him. He said he thinks he'll be better in a better race when he gets taken along, because when he got to the front there he looked at everything — he did the same in Leopardstown.

Quotes on Independent Expert (IRE)
I ran five horses in Gowran the last day she ran and they all ran worse than the other but the ground was terrible and sticky. She likes soft ground but couldn't go on it that day and now three of those horses have won since, so it was just one of those things. I gave her a break, she is fit and well now and tomorrow morning I'll enter her in a Galway festival handicap on the Tuesday. If she gets in, we'll take our chance and if you're not in, you can't win.
