Eylara puts in professional performance
She did it nicely and will be a lovely filly for next year,. She had a nice run first time, built on it and did what we expected. It was straightforward. I expect her to make into a stakes filly next year. I know she ran over a mile first time but I brought her back to seven there today. We'll start her in a Guineas trial and see where we go from there. What you see is what you get with her. She's a lovely genuine filly.
Zorro puts his rivals to the Sword
I'm delighted he could do that. I think that's the fifth two-year-old winner for Mr Zhang from eight horses,. It's great to get that win as he's had some very good runs, including behind Wembley who has obviously done good things since. He's a nice horse and he likes that ground. I'm not sure there is much else for him now. He'll be a nice one to look forward to for the beginning of next season.
Amber Kite soars to victory in Foxrock
She's an absolute gem and is as genuine as the day is long. She's won on good quick ground at Limerick and is versatile as she's after winning on soft to heavy there. Her best ground is probably on the easy side of good. I think the best horse won there. They went quick up front and kind of fell in a hole. She's just genuine and is a good fun filly to have. You can set your clock by her at home.
Silver Service not lacking in fitness
I was a bit disappointed with her Thursday as I thought that race was there to be won. The went a bit hard early on then. She was entered up here and I decided we let her take her chance. We had a little doubt whether she'd stay seven because early on in the year we thought she didn't. That's why we were taking her back in trip but maybe we were making a mistake and should just have been riding her differently. She had a problem with a trapped epiglottis and that held us up for a couple of months. She's probably only getting to full fitness now.

She did it well and she got a good tactical ride from Oisin,. I walked the last two furlongs of the track when I came racing and, while the stands' side is obviously a shade quicker, I didn't think there was that much advantage in coming all the way across, especially when you are going to ride her very positively. The shortest way home is still up the inside and that's what he did. He gave her a good ride and the filly deserved it. She ran an excellent second in the Group 2 Blandford. I just wanted to win a stakes race with her this year. She's a stakes winning filly now and a beautifully bred filly for Moyglare. I'll speak with Eva Maria Haefner but I'd say the plan will be to keep her in training next year.
