Coventry Stakes form to the fore at D'Royal
he's a lovely horse. John started him the first day in a Listed race won by Caravaggio and we all saw what he did during the week. He's really well entered and John really likes him. He travelled sweetly and is held in high regard. He'll have no problem going six furlongs.
Lady Mega scores for Lynam/Downey
Forebear runs them ragged in Down Royal
He broke well and seemed to travel through the race and Wayne gave him a great ride. Delighted with that. We've had him most of this year. His form with Seanie would say that he would have been good enough today. Hopefully we'll see him out soon.
Jembatt claims sixth win at D'Royal
he has been knocking on the door and been running well. Five is probably a bit short for him but you have to run him. The races are scarce for him in that category.
Stellar Mass the Ulster Derby hero
Smullen - "we're very happy with Harzand"
Whelan adds another to Royal Ascot winner
Ronan went out with a plan in his head and I didn't interfere and he executed it brilliantly - I'm thrilled he has won again. The owner Declan Kiernan (from Viginia Co Cavan) has been a very patient man. He doesn't interfere and he leaves you to do things. He has been justly rewarded.
