Dragon Pulse improves from his debut
It's great to get that done. Fran said he did it well. He said the other horse [Ellell Duke] was hanging out on him and intimidating him a bit. I'm delighted as it's the first winner for the owner [Tan Kai Chah] who is Singapore based. He was put in touch with me by Jim Ryan who broke the horse and pre-trained him. We'll sit down and have a look at what's coming up. He'll definitely get seven furlongs. We were thinking beforehand that he would need seven furlongs. He seemed to go on that ground.
Remember Alexander gives Harrington double
She did it well. Everything went right for her and I'm absolutely delighted. Johnny [Murtagh] said she relaxed and travelled away. She just kept going and she loved that ground which is great as it looks like we are going to have a wet summer. She is in the Moyglare [Curragh August 28] and it looks like we will go in that direction all being well.
Adam's Return lands gamble
He was due a win. He came back a bit quick the last time. The ground didn't really suit him the last day [good to firm] but it suited him today. He deserves that. I've no real plans but we'll go where the ground is soft.
No place like Leopardstown for Famous Name
He's just wonderful. He'll go for the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen on Sunday week in Munich which is a Group 1. The ground has gone very soft but he likes it.
Long Live The King shows his dominance
Yellow Rock shines bright
He's a nice horse. He stayed on well at the end. He'll get a mile and a half. If a race came up for him he would go to Galway. Galway's not the easiest place to pick a race. They all seem to be over seven furlongs or a mile.
Highly Efficient lives up to his name
I loved his attitude. He stuck at it well. I think there's a bit more improvement in him.
