Quotes on Patter Merchant (IRE)

He's a nice horse, he's a horse to go jumping and you probably won't see much more of him this year. He's a horse for next year. Harry said he should have let him slide on, as he's just a galloper but we like him.

Quotes on All For Rachel (IRE)

He's a long time around the house and the penny never dropped. I can't believe how well he travelled today,. He looked like a horse that was going to win races several times before but it never materialised. One of the key things to him is the ground but he has strengthened up as well. He's a big horse that's been growing and developing for a number of years and every year I say 'I hope I'm not saying the same thing next year!'. He's seven now and I bought him as a three-year-old. He's called after a grandchild of ours, a daughter of Rory and Theresa. They were to be here, I told them to come today. He's a manager on one of the sites and told him to finish at one and pick up Theresa and Rachel and come out here. I had some inclination today with the way he was working at home and the way he had strengthened up. He was always weak behind. You could have lost faith with him but today makes up for it. Phillip gave him a grand ride and came with a lovely timed run.

Quotes on Big Chou (IRE)

They went hard and that suited him because he stays really well. They went slow and then quickened up in Navan and left him for dead. He came home well enough. That was probably a good run because it was a good race, a much better race than this. Funnily enough this has been a lucky race for me, I think we've won it three or four times. He's a chaser in the making. His owner decided to bring the kids to the rugby instead of the races but I'm sure he'll get a good kick out of it anyway. He wouldn't be a winter horse and after Navan I sort of threatened that we'd give up but then the weather stayed right. I suppose we might try and run him at Leopardstown over Christmas.

Quotes on Fenway Park (IRE)

Gavin Cromwell: .That was grand. I suppose with the run at the festival here a repeat performance of that and the two-and-a-half miles looked ideal today,. He was quite professional. I was a little bit worried when the second horse came to him, I thought we were in trouble, but he pulled it out again to be fair to him.

Quotes on Ol Man Dingle (IRE)

It's nice to back up his last run. The ground was a bit of an unknown coming here today. I had his previous race and this one mapped out for a quite a while and I was hoping coming here that the ground would be a bit softer. He has been campaigned over further and I just thought two miles on a stiff track, on a bit softer ground, would suit him. The pace was a bit muddling and he seems versatile enough when it comes to trip.  . We will see where we go from here. He has been on the go a while and I'll probably give him a small little break now. I could bring him back for a race at Leopardstown over Christmas, there is a novice handicap there that he could run in. We'll let him creep away and see where he brings us.  . This is Brian's first horse with me, he is from Newtownhamilton and I'm delighted for him. He is a nice horse to look forward to. It's great for Ricky as well, he is having a great few days.

Quotes on Sonny May (IRE)

He was very good. He’s a seven-year-old and has a bit of age now and is stronger. It’s great to win with a homebred and I’ve only two horses in training. I ride him most days. . He had a few problems and only ran twice last year and ran badly but we’ve ironed out a few problems.

Quotes on Savante (IRE)

Quotes on Artic Lane (IRE)

we just couldn't shake off Jack (Kennedy, on runner-up Relieved Of Duties) up the straight and I wasn't sure if we had won. It was a big help with Willie's horse (C'est Ta Chance) coming out so we were hopeful as he had a lot of placed form. I knew Jack's horse would jump out and gallop so Declan (Queally) said to track him and it all panned out well. He looks like he will be nicer over further and going handicapping he could pick his races and will hopefully win a couple. Declan has been very very good to me and we're going well together.

Quotes on Ballybrittas (IRE)

These are very famous colours and I'm delighted to have Lar on board. He came to me last year looking for a nice winter horse so we bought this horse in Doncaster. I don't think he is a superstar but I hope he will be better over a fence. . We were opportunistic today as the race cut up significantly and we'll look for a handicap now, as I don't think he is up to novice company.

Quotes on Thisistheway (IRE)

Her dam won twice in Wexford and won three overall. She also got Grade 3 black type. This is the first foal out of her and while she is not a big mare, she is a lot bigger than the dam who was tiny. She was ready to run in May and we let her out because the ground went too quick. She is actually not that long back in and I thought she might need the run, but because it's so close to home we said we'd come here and maybe in three weeks time go to Ballinrobe for the four-year-old fillies bumper. She is after winning now so we might go for the mares winners' race in Down Royal or go straight to the Listed bumper at Gowran. If the ground is okay she will probably go to Down Royal before Gowran. My father (Charlie) bought the granddam (Party Woman) as a foal and she won three times before she chipped a bone in her knee. She produced Little Mitch then and it's a real fillies pedigree. We still have Little Mitch at home and hopefully there is a couple more to come along out of her.

Quotes on Young Lucy (IRE)

that's why you employ the likes of those top men (O'Connor) and there was no point in asking me how to ride her so I left the instructions to him. She is well able to leap and has already run over hurdles but has the option of the Flat route as well. I'd imagine she could be dual-purpose and will go 1m4f on the Flat. She is a lovely mare for Ray (Grehan, owner) so fingers crossed.
