Quotes on Dunboyne (IRE)

I was at Stephen (O’Connor, owner) last year when this horse was pulling up, hoping to get him as an Open point-to-point horse. We have had horses for Stephen for the last three or four years and when Dunboyne pulled up in Leopardstown during Christmas, he said he’d then try a change of scenery.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Prophet's Corner (IRE)

That’s my first winner on the track, I’ve had 24 in point-to-points. He’s kind of a yard favourite. I suppose three miles is his thing and when you get into heavy ground that’s mainly his thing. He’s very good on heavy ground, he can go the same speed on soft as he can on hard. He’s one-paced, but stays going. We’ll try for another hurdle and see how that goes after today. He might have won too far, but we’ll take it. It’s our first winner so we’re not going to complain. Darragh is my brother so it’s a family success. It’s all in-house which keeps the costs down!. I just want to say a word about Mikey O’Sullivan. It’s an awful tragedy — there are no words for it.

Quotes on Toor Khov (IRE)

I took him out on Saturday because the ground was too quick in Mallow. The step up in trip suited and he’s very honest. That ground is on the easy side of good and even a bit slower would do. He probably wouldn’t want deep winter ground. If he stays in good form then it will all depend on the ground if we keep going with him.

Quotes on Emancipator (IRE)

he won like a 6/4 shot, maybe even a 4/6 shot!. They (TerenceOBrien Racing Club) are very happy owners. He won six weeks after we bought him so was a savage buy in fairness and we've had super fun with him. He had two further runs over hurdles and was a bit disappointing but it was the end of a long season and in fairness to Donie and Brian Hassett (previous connections), they told me he probably had enough done. They said to put him away for soft ground, which we did. It was the horse's first long break for a while and it obviously did him good. I wasn't 100 percent sure, coming here, how fit he was as he hasn't been away from home but I suppose it didn't look a great contest to be fair and he was 6/4 for a reason. He's very good over a fence so he has plenty of options although I probably wouldn't run him too quickly again as that was his first run of the season. I'm sure the handicapper won't miss him this time.

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 Workinonadream (IRE)

two brothers Ivan and Thomas Sutton own her and they also bred her. They live about two miles over the road so this is fantastic. The mare has been running so consistently well and really deserved today. There was a maiden hurdle for horses rated 110 or less at Punchestown in a fortnight and I was so close to waiting for it as it was made for her with the mares allowance. However it was Gordon’s mare’s (Elliott, Swing Davis) first run in a hurdle and ours was battled-hardened so we gave it a go with Tiernan’s (Power Roche) 7lb claim. Her form from Limerick has worked out very well so she deserved to go and thank-God it worked. We might try and find a black-type mares handicap to see if we could sneak a little bit of placed black-type with her as the lads will probably breed from her.

Quotes on Lady Bluebird (IRE)

She was actually meant to go to the Sales a week before that (Punchestown) and we kind of eased off on her. She wasn't sold and we said we would run her anyway, she just blew up turning in. They were good horses we were taking on. We knew we had her fit today and it was a weak enough contest, so we thought we would pick up. She's hardy and she probably wants it even softer, she's as tough as you get and clear winded. She is hard on herself at home, but she is tough and jumps for fun. She has been very good to me and I'm delighted. She was brilliant to me and I'd be lost without her - it is hard to get going these days. I'd say he (Hugh Finegan) will probably put her away now, but you wouldn't know with the rain we are having - anything could happen. I'd say when the spark comes out of her a wee bit she will stay further because all she does is gallop. I thought the ground was yielding, she was rattling off it. It is lovely ground.

Quotes on Housemartin (IRE)

Norman rode his first winner on this track and this was Josh's first ride over hurdles. I'm thrilled and also thankful to my other half (Kay) for putting him up. It is very special and we're delighted. The horse had shown a little bit but went off last year and when he ended up, he wouldn't beat me. We did a few changes though and he looks well now. Let's hope this is the first of many for him (Williamson).

I didn’t think the ground would suit her at all, so I was a bit surprised. I thought it might be too tacky for her, but she seemed to stay the trip well. She ran in a few point-to-points, and we might go over fences with her.

Quotes on Billy Lee Swagger (IRE)

I thought he’d run a big race in Naas and he gurgled all the way up the straight. I probably had the wrong bit in his mouth as he’d never done it before. I was really happy with him and he was working really well at home. The day he was fourth in the maiden hurdle in Gowran was a good run and I thought he’d go on the ground here. It’s been a mighty year altogether and it’s our best season for winners. I’ve great owners, great staff and supporters and we’re working very hard at it. The Blind Squirrels have horses in Ireland and England and are a really well-run syndicate. Prince Zaltar was my first horse for the lads and this is the second one. It’s great for Conor as well. That’s his second winner and nice to be able to support him as well.

Quotes on Ishan (FR)

He loves those conditions and stays really well,. That’s his second time winning around here too. I’m delighted that he’s been able to handle those couple of jumps up in grade. Phillip said it inconvenienced him bypassing the second last. He’s got a good mark over fences so hopefully he’ll be grand going forward. He’s entered at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day but I doubt he’d go there. He had a hard race today and we’ll mind him — he’s only five going six.

That was great, he was the form horse in the race and you just need a bit of luck then. The rain came and just made the ground free. Cal Shine would have been riding him only for he is suspended today. Cal comes in to ride out at home. I got Josh then as he is great value for the 7lb and he gave him a great ride. He jumped brilliant and we might go back over fences with him now. We'll enjoy today first anyway.
