Quotes on Taipan (FR)

I'm delighted, he hasn't run for over a year and it's great to get him back. Those conditions races are great for him. We were thinking of putting him in the amateur handicap but when he was qualified for this we decided to wait for now. I've had him ready to run for about the last six weeks but every time the ground came up too quick for him so I took him out. He just needs a little bit of an ease in the ground now in his old age. He wasn't stopping there and he'll go two miles no problem. We could have a look at the Cesarewitch and maybe the English Cesarewitch as well.

Quotes on Eagle Fang (IRE)

last year Eagle Fang was a four-year-old stepping into open company so we knew it would be tough, but he stepped up to the mark. He didn't win a race but ran some good races. He hadn't done a whole pile of schooling over fences and it has only been in the last few weeks that we decided to try it. He isn't a big horse but has a massive heart and is the best horse we have. He is our Tiger Roll and he could now go for one of the Grade 1 novice chases over Christmas. He was just about ready to start today so will come forward and Philip (Byrnes) said he learned plenty. three miles won't bother him and I said to Bill (Durkan) yesterday that I'd love to run him in an Irish National. . Last year he was ridden out in the car park at Cheltenham so didn't get the best trip around, but was beaten only 11 lengths. Maybe if he had been ridden with more cover he could have been placed, but that's just Cheltenham. We haven't had much luck there as it has been like a graveyard to us, but he could be one for the novice handicap chase next March.

Quotes on Granite Bay (GB)

it was a great win as it was a competitive race. Ronan said he was struggling on the ground but said he once he came alive coming down the back, he was reasonably confident he would run a big one. We knew all along that he was a staying horse in the making although I didn't think it would happen in his three-year-old career. He is progressing with every run having been very babyish earlier in the year and we'll look for another race before the season ends as he has proven he goes on easy ground. He has been schooled over hurdles at Roger Loughran's and is well able to jump, if that's the route the lads want to go.

Quotes on Royal Hollow (IRE)

She’s a bit mad! She ran too free in Listowel the last day and ran too free in Clonmel before that and in the Galway Hurdle she didn’t jump off,. I wanted to run her in the Irish Cesarewitch last week and he wouldn’t let me but now I want to run her in the Colm White Handicap at Naas (on October 12th). She has loads of ability, she’s very talented. If she puts it all together she’s capable of winning one of those. She did too much in the visor the last day and run herself into the ground. She’s fully mad and we just have to try and keep a lid on her. She ran well in the Tipperary Cup in Clonmel but she pulled for a mile-and-six, she was still pulling turning into the straight and still finished fourth. She’s not learning. We’ll go to Naas now.

Quotes on The Real Screamer (IRE)

He won in Dundalk (in January) and got a bit of a cough when we were meant to run again, and we pulled out. We just took our time. We were going to go last Saturday, and I just thought this race every year doesn't be the strongest and we just waited for this. We were delighted to get Sadhbh to ride him.

Quotes on War Rooms (IRE)

He's probably been the dearest horse we've ever had and has been overall disappointing, so I'm delighted to get his head in front. He probably had an inflated rating from coming third in the Dante, and has come down about 20 pounds since we got him. He probably parked a bit in front, and was waiting for them to come at him. He minds himself a bit and is a little bit soft, a bit cowardly. I doubt he'll go to Galway, he didn't enjoy the hustle and bustle there last year. We'll look for flatter tracks like Killarney and Listowel, if we can find suitable races for him there. He'd probably stay two miles on the Flat, and we'll go back hurdling with him later in the year.

Quotes on Immutable (IRE)

He is progressive and is a horse we like to have,. We think he is going to go forward and he'll go three-year-old hurdling now. We like the way he jumps but then again I've seen horses which school well at home who end up doing other things, so it's all ahead of him. He is an ideal candidate for hurdling though.

Quotes on Gaoth Chuil (IRE)

She’s a right little mare. She stays well and handles that two miles. The ground wouldn’t want to be any quicker for her,. She’d want an ease in it but it’s safe. Colin Keane rang me last night, because he had ridden her in Cork, and said the ground was as safe as you’d like and you could run anything on it. If she reproduced her Leopardstown run she’d be hard to beat. She’s not totally in love with jumping a fence. She jumps it but she doesn’t attack it. She’ll go to Galway, whatever she gets in to. If she got into the big amateur handicap she’d run in it but if not there is a two mile handicap for her.

Quotes on Sir Jeremy (IRE)

I told Paddy to take his time, but he surely did! I thought he blew it to be honest but his 5lb claim was a big help and the horse stayed really well. He could go further as well and the first-time blinkers helped him. He would probably hurdle at some stage although when I schooled him, I wasn't delighted with the way he jumped.

Quotes on Chutzpal (IRE)

I'm really happy with that. We took a bit of a punt bringing him back, but he is going to get a fair hike after Wednesday and he seemed in great form. He got 16lb for Wednesday which was probably fair. I'm delighted for his owners, we've already had a lot of fun with him. We will give him a little break now, I'm not used to running them that quick.  . He's got loads of options and could go back on the Flat. We'll back off him for a couple of weeks as he's been busy. I'm delighted for Ethan as well, he gave him a great ride.
