Quotes on Optional Mix (IRE)

She was unlucky the last day to run into Mousey Brown who was well in and won well again since. . The plan was she had a light weight and to make use of it. When she gets to the front and gets into a rhythm like that,she’s hard to peg back. She’s a good, tough, solid mare. . She lost her way a little bit over the winter. I just think she was sick of being gunned out on that real heavy ground and seems to be enjoying that better surface. . We’ll probably have a crack at Galway now, maybe the Galway Blazers. She enjoys it in a bigger race with a lighter weight as she’s not that big. . Gerry and Chrissy (Hughes, owners) are in Spain at the moment. They’ll be watching in and will be happy tonight.

Quotes on Inchiquin Star (IRE)

We were hopeful today. She has been a bit unlucky on her last couple of runs. She ran well at Tipperary but just took some kind of false step after the last. She done well to stay standing after that and lost all momentum. She is a real consistent filly and I think she is probably good enough to win on the Flat too. She is a grand fun mare for the summer and can mix it between both codes. She likes nicer ground. . She will probably go back to Tramore now. There is a race on the Flat and a race over hurdles for her there and she'll go for one or the other.

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 Baltinglass Hill (IRE)

He was very unlucky to get beat in Navan where it looked like he had it well won and made a mistake at the last. His jumping won the race in Killarney under a brilliant ride from Rachael Blackmore, and Darragh (O’Keeffe) was equally good on him this evening. He’s only a four-year-old but he’s growing up and learning his trade. He hasn’t won by far and hopefully won’t get a massive penalty and we’ll find another handicap for him. I thought the ground had gone (too soft) for him but when I came here I couldn’t believe my luck. Jim Guilfoyle (owner) has been with me for years and we’ve had loads of winners together and he’s a fantastic supporter.

Quotes on Verbal Sparring (IRE)

I'm great pals with Billy Boyers (92) who's here today and he blessed the saddle for me before the race!. Carl gave him a very polished ride and got some lovely jumps out of him which had maybe cost him a couple of races at Naas. The only worry was that the ground had dried so much because he's definitely a better horse on soft or even heavy ground, but there was enough of an ease for him. He deserved to get his head in front and I'm delighted for (owners) Phil Dillon and his wife Bridget.

It looked a good opportunity and Danny got a great tune out of him. It was a long time coming for him over hurdles but he had run well in a similar race at Tramore recently and today's race cut up so you had to be reasonably confident. He'll keep going and will try for another handicap hurdle somewhere.
