Quotes on Cristal Clere (IRE)

That's brilliant, I'm delighted. He was a little horse we bought to win a maiden in Belharbour but he went a different direction. We bought a couple of Flat ones to get Seanie (nephew) going. If you want an event pony they cost half a million and we bought him for 15 grand. He's after winning 45 grand now and putting the jockey on the board. Seanie said he was feeling the surface at Dundalk the last day and changing his legs. We didn't know how he'd go on the ground on Sunday, we were just hoping he would. He jumps hurdles and fences, so hopefully he'll rock on. He's a right little horse, we bought him at Newmarket last year at the horses-in-training sale — he hadn't run. When we brought him home we thought we had him for point-to-pointing and we schooled him over fences and all. When we put him up against the rest of the pointers, he was a bit on small side and I said if he wins we still won't get paid for him, so we'll get value for Seanie rather than go that way. These Flat men have it cushy, this fella doesn't do anything. We were off schooling this morning at 7am this morning with a load of horses. You just give this fella a few nuts and a pick of grass and away he goes, it's an easy game. I carried out the saddle for him today and if he rides him over hurdles I'll have to get a wheelbarrow to carry the saddle. Hopefully we'll run him over hurdles, he could be a right little horse for that. He could go to any of those (Flat) handicaps in the summer as well for expe

Quotes on East Hampton (GB)

He obviously had a very good run the first day and then the only day he got anything resembling soft ground he won on it.

Quotes on Jagged Edge (IRE)

We were ready to rock and roll for the Irish Lincoln but unfortunately he scoped poorly the week of the race, so we just had to sit and wait,. It's obviously been a very difficult winter to get these horses right for the spring but every trainer is in the same boat. I just had to take my time with this horse. . He had been showing all the right signals at home and, we felt he was just ready to start. We had to back off him and, we had to load him with antibiotics there for a month so, he was just ready to start. Hopefully now the horse has a bright summer in front of him. . We'll have to see what the handicapper does to him but we might make a Royal Hunt Cup entry tomorrow. Hopefully he'll develop into a stakes horse later in the season.

Quotes on Carolina Jetstream (GB)

She finished fourth in a Listed race (Dundalk, November) and we were unlucky not to get black type that day. Probably she will go to Newcastle as well, for the mile. I will try and get black type with her next season. When she learns how to race, I think she will stay a mile and two no problem. At the moment, she needs to run over seven or a mile because she is a little bit fresh. When she drops her head, I think a mile and two will be no problem. Last time Billy (Lee) said she did a little bit too much and she was a little bit free and fresh, so he said to drop her to seven furlongs. I think there is a lot of improvement when she matures, definitely.

Quotes on Rion Rubette (GB)

She did it lovely. I was a bit worried if she was going to get there, but she ground it out real well and she knew where the line was. . She seems to really be getting a liking for Gowran. It's not that far away from us, so I'd say that's a big help to her. She's tricky enough when travelling and at the races. . Hopefully, if she is all right in the morning, she is entered in the Curragh Derby weekend in the fillies' handicap on the Saturday evening - if she's okay, touch wood she goes there.

Quotes on Subsonic (IRE)

It was very important for her to win. I think she was a little bit unlucky the last time, she got in a bit of traffic and Ben said he never really got her out. She’s a good cruiser, a good galloper, and we always thought a lot of her. I maybe rushed her a little bit early in the year and then we took a big shot at the Oaks. It’s nice to get her maiden win, and speaking to Maurice, he thinks we’re going to keep her in training for next year. She’s a huge filly so I think she can only improve with another year under her belt. It’s testing ground and they came at her early so he said she was getting a bit tired as well. I think there is a big engine in there. As Ben says, if she can develop up into her size we feel she is a stakes filly.

Quotes on Syzygy (GB)

she’s out of a Teofilo - the same as Nancee Spain I had who won in Roscommon, and they just seem to grow a leg on that ground. The two of them are kind of in the same boat, they were slow to learn but are improving all the time. Ben said Syzygy knows she’s a racehorse now, even going down to the start she was fairly switched on and actually raced a touch keen. He said if he had got a bit of cover it would have suited better. I can’t give out about her as she’s after winning three in a row. She’s on the improve but that might be her for the year. If it had been good ground it would probably have been a bad draw but on slower ground you see them coming home down the middle of the track to get the fresher bit of ground. That gave me a bit of confidence. In all fairness to the filly, she had to be good and game and she was. Ben was excellent on her as per usual.
