Quotes on Amadeus Mozart (IRE)

They are lovely big horses - they were never away, so they are going to come forward plenty. Ryan liked him (the winner). He said he was a lovely horse and he wouldn’t mind stepping up. He’ll be a lovely horse next year, he’s a very big horse. He was very green.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Causeway (IRE)

He got home very well. I'd imagine he'll have no trouble stepping up in trip when the time comes. We just didn't want to start him up (in trip) in bad ground. We just wanted to get a run into him for this. You'd have to be very happy. You’d love the way he finished off and, probably time wise, I think it'll be a good enough run race. . Possibly. It'll depend what will happen with the other colts. He's ready. He's done his prep for it now. He'd be very comfortable coming back here.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Mr Vettori (IRE)

He ran a very good race the last day and the winner (Hawk Mountain) went on to win the Beresford. We trained the mother and sister, who won her maiden up the Curragh, and he’ll be a lovely horse going a mile and a-quarter next year. Shane (Foley) said he absolutely hated the ground and won despite it, so that always gives you a nice buzz.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Shaihaan (IRE)

He's a beautiful big horse. He had good form last year and he developed well this year. It’s nice to get a win into him. Going up in trip, I think, suits him. Obviously he’s by Night Of Thunder, so I don’t know how far they stay in general, but he’s out of a Sea The Stars mares so there is plenty of stamina on that side. We’ll maybe look at the Derby Trial in Leopardstown, and then maybe the Irish Derby if that went well. That would be plan A anyway. . You can see the size of him, he was never going to be an Epsom horse. If he was that class, you could see him pitch up here, but we’ll see.
