Market-support for Wendrock in Leopardstown opener proves spot on

That was grand. He doesn't do anything flashy at home but he has a good attitude and you'd like the way he went there,. I'd imagine he'll come back here for the Dublin Racing Festival but to be honest I'd say he's more of a Fred Winter horse than a Grade 1 horse. He'll need another run to qualify so he'll probably end up coming back for that and that will tell us where to go. We have one or two nice ones at home to run. We're a bit short this year but have a nice horse that came from France, he could probably end up coming here for the Grade 1.

Lapin wins at 150/1 on racecourse bow

I expected him to run really well as his homework had been very good. I thought he was a proper horse,. I bought him in Doncaster off Sam Curling for three grand, Dominic was looking for a horse. I couldn't find what was wrong with him and obviously there is nothing wrong with him. He was maybe a bit sick when he ran in his point-to-points or something. He's from the family of Epatante and is by Doctor Dino so I wouldn't say he stays three miles. He did a piece of work around Tipperary two weeks ago and showed me enough to say he'd be competitive in one of these. He was entitled to be here. He's massive and he was a shell in May. To be fair to his owner Dominic he brought him home and fed him all through the summer. I'm delighted for Dominic and Paula, Dom is a great character and I'm so happy for him. I'm hoarse from roaring. There is no plan, the plan was today as he wanted a runner here. He sent me off to buy a horse and I got one for three grand to run in Leopardstown at Christmas. I've never had a horse as big as him, maybe a hunter!

Solness keeps up big race momentum for Joseph O'Brien team

Romeo Coolio leads home Elliott one-two at Leopardstown

Obviously it didn’t go to plan the last day and we all went home a bit disappointed,. I’m delighted for the boys, they are back over here today. I’m very proud of the horse, and the boys that own him, as they are big supporters of Cullentra. He had a little blip the last day and we’re very happy. Looking at that today, I’d say just a fast gallop is what he needs. He looked good there today. We said after the last day, we were going to go on and keep it simple. I’d imagine he’ll probably go for the Supreme Novices’.

Enniskerry provides Connell with a memorable Leopardstown win

It's brilliant to have it here. At Christmas and the Dublin Racing festival that's where arguably the racing is most competitive, and obviously at Punchestown in the spring,. I love having winners here and that horse is special because we've had him for seven or eight years. He's kind of the pet of the yard. He turns up everyday . He's won on the Flat, over hurdles and fences. He's an iron horse. We've been mixing and matching. He ran on the Flat during the summer and won early on, then he ended up running in the Cesarewitch and it just didn't happen for him. He was still well treated over hurdles and had a very good run in Fairyhouse that left him spot on for today. He needed a jump at the last and when he got that I think the momentum was always going to take him there.

It all finally comes together in style for Perceval Legallois

This horse has threatened to win a big one for a long time. He kept going up in the handicap and I thought his chance was gone to be honest,. Mark gave hima great ride, he took his time and stayed wide for the better ground. It's great. It's a brilliant race to win. It fell right for him today. They went a right good gallop, he took his time and everything fell right for him. He jumped well and settled lovely. I don't know would he be an out-and-out three-miler on soft ground, he's not slow. I don't know where he goes now, we'll enjoy this one anyway.

Trainer Colm Ryan off the mark with Karate Kid

It's terrific. John (Hayes) is busy farming and it was very kind of him to give him to me after his last run,. He was very green the first day and the ground was too good for him but he absolutely just turned inside out since. He's quite a smart horse. Ray probably went too soon, he gave him a terrific ride but he just ran about in front. He's deadly to jump so hopefully he's got a very bright future. We were just waiting for the ground all the time. We were a bit worried about the ground here today but thankfully with the times it looked like it was taking a bit of getting. I'd say the softer the better for him. I suppose he could be sold now. I just have five stores and this fella, he's the only horse I have to run.
