Edwardian surges home for Moore
He's a big No Nay Never and he's a massive influence for speed. He handled the soft, they usually do, but he's a very good mover. He's a fast horse, a five/six furlong horse. He did well because he broke very slowly, he was very babyish. Ryan liked him, he finished out strong. He'll go into a Group race now. I asked Ryan how far he would stay and he said he wouldn't be sure how far he would stay, five or six. He's a quick horse.
Tiger Belle lands good pot for McGuinness
We were chasing black-type and we got it, we didn't think we were going to stay!. Ben (Coen) said she's a tough, tough filly. She was out a bit on her feet in the last 50 yards but she's very fast. Coming here I thought this track was going to be too stiff for her. When you are looking for black-type and these races come up you have to try. She's going to win no black-type at home. He gave her a super ride. They split in a seven runner field but I think no matter what side you are on, the fastest horses win the races. Where we go next I don't know, she is for sale so she will be sold at some stage. She's black-type now and that's what matters, our job is done with her. She's very fast and she's tough but she just about gets the five. If you had a very easy fast track for her she'd take some beating. She had the rail there and Ben was very good on her. I won a Birdcatcher here with a two-year-old a few years back, but this would be my biggest two-year-old winner.
McAuley still having the last laugh with Tai Sing Yeh
It was brilliant! . The horses have been flying and then we went to Ballinrobe, they don't like them long trips! Every one of them ran shocking, it was like someone hit the handbrake on us. You can set your clock by him. When I saw Joey making the manoeuvre he made I said 'where is he going, from one rail to the other', but he gave him a brilliant ride. Dating back to when he was a 10lb claimer we've always had a good association with Joey. You know what you get with him, he's no nonsense and he was brilliant. People laughed at us when we took this horse out of a claimer last year, with the age of him, but I'd gladly swap every horse in the yard for a few more of him. Every time he goes if he doesn't win he pays for him and some of the other runners. He's brilliant.
Clounmacon delivers black-type for Newtown Anner Stud Farm
It's not a complete surprise. She was too keen in Royal Ascot, I fancied her for the handicap there, but she was very keen and she was probably on the wrong side,. I thought coming back to six (would suit), although I was a little bit worried about the ground. 'Dusty' (Shane Foley) said she handled it well, she got away with it today. I always thought she had plenty of ability, she travels really strongly. Seven furlongs on fast ground is probably ideal conditions for her. She's won a stakes race now so it's absolutely great for Maurice (Regan) and his broodmare band. We've got a few nice horses for Newtown Anner and I'm delighted to get a Listed winner for them. We might stick in her in a fillies' Group 3 now over seven and please-God we can find another one for her.
Asisaid revels in soft ground at Naas
He did that well, he has ability and got his ground today. The blinkers obviously helped. The last few days he's missed the kick and he was probably thinking about things a bit. When he goes and does it he has plenty of ability in this grade. Jake gave him a good ride, got him out nice and confident, and did a good job. It worked out well. We might even look at Galway now. I was going to give him a break before today, but with all the rain we've been getting, I said we'd keep him going.
Consistent Simply Sideways gets another turn
I'm delighted with that, I was very sweet when I saw the rain as she handles a cut in the ground,. She's a lovely honest filly, she always runs her race. We'll give her an entry in Galway, if there is a 0-70. Galway would suit her if she got in. Sean gave her a smashing ride, he said they were going plenty quick enough so he took his time and she saw it out well.
Warrior Brave overturns odds-on favourite
Bells On Her Toes chimes in with another winner for Slatterys
She's been a bit unlucky. She improved a bit from the last day, she had little break after that run. She's in Galway next week and she'll probably go there. She's in the big handicap on Sunday, she probably won't get into that. There's a race for her on Tuesday and there could be something later on in the week as well. She likes that ground, even though she's run well on good to firm on her last few runs that's her ground. Probably even six furlongs on that ground is a good trip for her and she'll probably stay a mile too. We run her (half) sister (Many Thanks) tomorrow, in the first at Leopardstown, and she's quite nice too.
