Regal does Donnacha proud

I thought he was a nice horse but he was kind of sleeping at home. He's quite green and I said I'd give him a run and he'd improve a lot for it. We knew he had ability and it's nice to see him going and doing that. He's not a horse I've absolutely drilled at home, he's a Galileo and you like to take them along slowly. In fairness to him he did well today. We'll take him back and have a look at the program but I'd imagine he'll go to stakes company next.

Statuette makes it two from two in Airlie

She's a very big filly and we were only training her three quarters ready because we had our eye on the last part of the season,. With that type of filly if you train them too hard you wouldn't have her at the end of the season when you want her. She's 16 2 ½, for a two-year-old filly. We were delighted, we were a little bit worried when the ground got soft that she could have gotten very tired but obviously just her class got her through. She travelled lovely and Ryan nursed her, she won lovely in the end and we were very happy. She has a beautiful mind, great stride and an unbelievable physique. We think the Justifys are something to look forward to. She's a sister to Tenebrism but she'd carry her on her back as she's a massive big powerful filly this one. She's probably not as precious as normal for a filly running at this time of year but she has so much class she was able to run and do it rather than us making her do it. When she was able to do it we didn't like stopping her but at the same time we weren't chasing her in any way at home.

Coumshingaun follows up maiden success

We're very happy with her, we were 3lb out (of the handicap) but she was in great form. Mark Cahill has been riding her out at home and said we had to go and it worked out well,. Jamie was good on her, he's a good young kid. We thought she was a good filly last year but she wasn't getting home over seven and a mile in her maidens. She's bred to stay a mile plus but once we dropped her back to six she's been a different filly. I thought she'd win in Gowran over seven but she didn't go home but she's won her last two runs and she's going the right way. We thought she was a stakes filly last year and we couldn't get our head around it, but my horses weren't running great last year. She just doesn't stay.

Powell doubles up with Rockingham win

Jamie has ridden five winners for me now from eight rides with two seconds and a fourth. He's doing well for me at the moment anyway,. We got her before Christmas, Charlotte and James were kind enough to send her to us, and she's kept improving. In fairness to Kevin Manning he's done a lot of work with her as well. We thought she'd get a bit of black-type in the future and we'd plot a course through the year with her. We were a little bit worried about the ground but she was brave, she has a big heart. I know she had a light weight but she was a three-year-old taking on older sprinters. She travelled really well and she's just a good filly.

Twomey claims first Group 1 victory with Coco

To be honest I couldn't see her being beaten coming here,. The level she showed last year to beat Love and the winner of this race (Thundering Nights), I didn't enter her in the Arc for fun. I think she's top class. We decided, Barry and I, that we'd start her campaign in the middle of the year with a view to the second half. She didn't have a run but I don't think it matters to her. Rosscarbery was third as well and she ran a very good race. She's progressing and I couldn't split them as I knew the two of them were in good form. It's great and that's why we get up and try and do it. We're lucky that people like Barry have sent us some good horses. We planned to start it here. The Yorkshire Oaks is something we'll consider, the Fillies and Mare at Ascot, the Arc, the Breeders Cup maybe and Hong Kong. That sort of line up. We were keen to start at home, we didn't really want to travel for her first run. William Haggas is a good friend of mine and we pre-trained for him. Then I decided three or four years ago to really give training a go. We did it first in my own colours with a permit. I had confidence in the two fillies and I was hoping the two of them would run good races. If I had to be beaten it would have been okay to be beaten by William but I would rather have won!

Seahorse sets sail for impressive win

That happens in those conditions, when it softens like that, some handle it and some don't,. He's a right little horse. John Halley bought him out of Ballydoyle and he's a good pal of ours. We bought him after he schooled here around the eight. We liked him and we're delighted to get him. He was only beaten a few lengths in the Boodles and was third in the Grade 1 at Punchestown. I'd say the Galway Hurdle will maybe be next now. He fits that bill and Chris said he could maybe come back here for the Irish Cesarewitch.
