Only Mine lands the Dash

She is a very genuine and honest filly, and we will up her in grade a bit now. There is a Group 3 at Naas over six furlongs in a month’s time, and we will enter her in the Haydock Sprint Cup which she ran in last year. It closes this week. It’s great to have the owners over to see her run today. You would have to give Gordon Lord Byron a lot of credit, and when he is in opposition you would always be afraid of him. The weight we received was a big help. She is building up a good page of Group and Listed races.

Celebration time for True Valour

I thought this race was coming a bit too soon but he takes travelling really well. He’s been to Epsom and Ascot but takes it all in his stride. He just eats and sleeps, and is very tough and durable. It was a great ride today and that’s what won it. He was able to take the gaps when they were there, and pricks his ears a bit when he gets there. He’s thriving on his racing, and I felt today was the ideal race for him. I haven’t thought too much past today but he could go for the seven-furlong Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.

First Group race win on Flat for Elliott

He's a nice horse. I'm delighted it's all worked out, for the syndicate that bought him in the first place and for Newtown Anner that where good enough to buy him and leave him with me. We thought he'd improved a good bit from the last day. I haven't got enough of them to know but we liked what we were seeing. We thought he was working well but we haven't got anything to work him with. He's good, a fair horse. He was probably in front plenty soon enough but he's tough and he stays. I'm delighted for everyone that he's won, especially the new owners. It's the first horse I've had for them and Maurice O'Regan's father and mother are here today — it's the first time I've met them. When you win you are always good but in fairness Declan is a big part of all these two-year-olds, where we work and what we do, so I'm delighted for him. The Phoenix Stakes is where he'll go now all being well. In the summer it's something nice to do. It's a bit of fun and something different but I'm a National Hunt man and you have to remember where your bread and butter is. We'll do it again next year but it's not something I'm going to be doing full time. We'll definitely do it a bit more next year but National Hunt is my number one and nothing else matters, only National Hunt racing to me. If I had half a dozen nice ones for the Flat that's all I want but jumping is the game and that's all I want to do.

Kingdoms springs shock in finale

I'm very pleased. He worked very well the other day and got a lovely confident ride for Leigh,. He'd be the only chaser I have, the only national hunt horse really at the moment, and the Galway Plate will probable be his target.
