Lokada another winner for champion jockey Keane
I thought she was entitled to do that because I liked her all along,. She had plenty of boot at home but she's one that's taken plenty of time and she's had excuses for every day that she ran before now. I thought the handicapper was very fair on her, giving her a mark of 58. I thought it was quite under the mark. She ran over seven first time and didn't get home, then she ran over six the next day at the Curragh and led them to the furlong pole. She ran over five the last day at Navan but it was bottomless ground, and she led to about 150 yards out. She didn't get home in that ground. Being by Exceed And Excel she wants nicer ground. Colin said she was plenty green when she got there but she has loads of boot and she'll be better suited by a better race where they go quite fast. She's an out-and-out five furlong filly. We might see if there is something else up here for her over the winter because she wants nice ground. If not, we'll put her away until next year.
S'All Good Man sheds maiden tag under MacRedmond
I'm delighted that he won, we were threatening to retire him but he's a grand horse and he's had bits of issues,. He's been unlucky really. He got a beautiful ride, we were worried about the draw but as it panned out he missed the kick and he was able to work him into it. We'll see what the handicapper does to him and he might come back up here as likes the surface. He's a really nice genuine horse. He's a half-brother to a horse I won a Group 3 with (Xenobia) and they are chalk and cheese.

That was lovely. We obviously thought a lot of her and it's all about the ground,. I think she's after getting stronger. She's a rock solid Group 3 horse and if we had the blinkers on her in Leopardstown she probably would have won. If she stays in training you'd like to think she's going to win her Group 3 but it's all about having top of the ground. She obviously loves this place but I think we've run out of road here. We were talking about putting her away for the paddocks and you'd like to think that she's a Group 3 or Group 2 horse to justify staying in training. She's a valuable filly. I've always thought a lot of her and was possibly a bit disappointed but I was disappointed with a lot of things this year.'
