Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ballyfad (IRE)

He showed a good attitude. We were a bit worried in his bumpers that he looked like he was a bit sluggish in soft ground,. Jack said he showed plenty of pace there and he was absolutely delighted with him. He seemed to like that ground. We were worried that he might not be quick enough on it but it was a good performance and we’re very happy. We’ll get him home and have a chat with Michael and Eddie and see where we go, maybe the DRF.

Quotes on Daydream Nation (IRE)

I was really happy with him. I wasn’t too sure what to expect as he disappointed us a bit in Thurles the last day. He got a bit worked up before the race last time, but was very relaxed here today. It was his first handicap, I thought it was a big ask, but he went through the race very well and was very professional.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Largy Hill (IRE)

Largy Hill did everything right and that was a good effort. You could see his jumping was that of an ex-point-to-pointer, compared to Stoke The Fire (stablemate, finished third) who was novicey and What Path (fourth) jumped a bit left. I was very happy with Stoke The Fire and that will bring him on hugely. . The winner is a big chasing type and it is nice to win a prize like this. I doubt he'll go to Cheltenham and will wait until Fairyhouse instead.

Quotes on Port Authority (IRE)

he’s a nice horse but we thought he’d come on from today as a lot of ours are coming on from their first run. We kept it simple and Jack said he had a blow. He’s very straightforward and I’d say he’ll stay further. He could be a horse that could go for the Formby Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1 at Aintree in December) as a few of the boys are from the UK.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Walks In June (IRE)

He’s a horse we’ve always liking. He was disappointing in Navan, and I’d say the ground didn’t help him. It was a competitive race, he winged hurdles and I’m delighted with him. He’s had three runs (this season) and we might start looking at March. He’s quite a big, light-framed horse so maybe a month easy now and come back for the spring. He’s learning all the time and thanks to Colin Bowe who recommended him.
