Quotes on Champagne Kid (IRE)
We thought he was going really well at home and had this race picked out for him after his last run at Clonmel. It's worked out really well. We wanted the rain. We just have three in at the moment and this is a special win. For a set-up like ours if you can have a winner at a summer festival like Galway or Listowel it's what you dream of. It's a massive day down here and it's great to be here, it's my first time here. We're three miles outside Newry, on the Co. Armagh side. We came down yesterday and are heading home tomorrow morning. It's great to get a winner by Vadamos as we've supported him. We sold a few foals by him. We breed a few but it's been hard in the past year or so trying to move stock on. Hopefully in a couple of years it will be back going strong again.

Quotes on Harbour Highway (IRE)
That was great. He had shown plenty at home and Patrick had a sit on him on an away day. He was very keen to stick with him wherever he was going to run. It was nice to get that done first time out. He was impressive and galloped through the line, hopefully he'll go on to bigger and better things. It's a few weeks to Punchestown still, there is the winners' bumper there and maybe even the champion bumper. We'll see how he comes out of it. He was a nice purchase at the Cheltenham Sale last year. I think a few people knocked him on the day for a wart on his eye but thankfully he was able to see where he was going today!

Quotes on Joystick (FR)
He was third in a point-to-point and we went down to see him at the Doyles. He’s a nice staying type and a real chaser in the making. He’s a real long-striding, old-fashioned chaser and a nice acquisition. He’ll stick with bumpers this season.

He was on my Cheltenham Bumper team but I couldn’t get him ready in time, so I put him by for this race and I’m very pleased with him. We’ll probably have a look at a winners' bumper at the big Festivals.

Quotes on Sounds Victorius (IRE)
You could see he was learning all the way up the straight in Leopardstown (runner-up on debut). Obviously, he didn’t take all those lessons to heart and had to relearn today. He did it the hard way, but is obviously full of stamina. I was very happy with Inn At The Park as well and he’ll win before too long.

Quotes on The Enabler (IRE)
He's a nice horse. We knew he'd improved, he's improving the whole time, and I'd say he's a proper horse. We won't do too much more this year, maybe go to Naas (for a winners bumper on February 25th). We've all the options for him, he looks very good. I wouldn't be thinking of going to Cheltenham.

Quotes on Will The Wise (IRE)
He’s weak and will be a good horse when he gets to jump fences. Deccy said the pace was very stop/start and he was only getting going at the finish. He’d been going nicely at home and we ran him in a schooling bumper last week. That’s him gone now for the summer and he’ll go hurdling later in the year.
