Quotes on Jesse Evans (IRE)

he was well in at the weights so my only little worry was that we were coming back from fences and it was quick enough too since Killarney. I’m delighted for him because he’s after having a couple of tough races: it’s lovely to get an easy one like that. He’ll probably go back to Galway but he won’t go for the Hurdle and I don’t think he’ll go for the Plate either as I think it’s too far for him, and he’s gone up in the weights as well. He’s a lovely horse and the Grimes Hurdle in Tipperary might be worth looking at. The boys (Singleton family, owners) are from Cork and we (County Meath) beat Cork the other day so there was a bit of banter!

Quotes on Bowensonfire (FR)

He’s a bit of a monkey. You don’t even give Jack instructions going out, just do what you want, drop him in and get him in every bit of trouble you can. Maybe getting his head in front the last day helped. I thought he might be badly handicapped in that ground but it’s great to win. It’s great that the lads are here. Dave (Page) and his brother and a few of them own this fella. Dave is with me a couple of years, and they are big supporters of Cullentra. We’ve had good days and bad days, but they stick with me. Without these lads you can’t do it. They travel over from the UK to see their horses when they can, they don’t get enough credit these men.

Quotes on Daddy Long Legs (FR)

he showed a huge turn of foot. He was in front way too soon, and I'm sure Paul would have kicked himself but he said to me the horse just carried him and he didn't want to disappoint him. He's a horse that could go back on the Flat and is maybe one for Royal Ascot. He's still a maiden on the Flat, he's only had one run when finishing second in France. I'd say he's very ground dependent, in winter time in heavy ground he wasn't able to handle it but on this ground it seems to be a different ball game. He surprised me, especially after being in Ludlow last week. To come back from England and do that in a big handicap is good.

Quotes on King Of Kingsfield (IRE)

Jack said he’s relaxing a lot more. He was very keen as a young horse, and Jack said he thought he might have won snugly if he hadn’t nodded at the back of the second-last. I think it was a good enough performance. As soon as the ground goes (soft) you won’t see him until the spring. He’s three races won now (over fences) so we can’t complain. He had to do the donkey work (for Brighterdaysahead) last season and it wasn’t really fair on him.

Quotes on Run For Oscar (IRE)

He hadn't won since the English Cesarewitch (in 2022) even though he had run some good races,. It was a good opportunity for him and the three miles was a big plus. He isn't the quickest of jumpers and missed one or two but it was his race. We don't have a plan but we'll go for a similar race if it comes up, although I don't think he'll go back to France. I'm delighted to get the win as he has been a brilliant horse.

Quotes on Barbizon (IRE)

He jumped brilliant. We were a bit worried about his jumping at home - he was novicey, to be honest. That's why Jack went for the other horse, he had the pick of the two of them. It was a good performance and delighted with him. I think on better ground he will be even better. He's a nice horse and he was a highly rated horse (on the Flat), and he wasn't cheap. Fairyhouse might come a bit quick, so Leopardstown at Christmas more than likely.

Quotes on Queenofthelodge (IRE)

I’d say she had too much of it at Killarney when she never rose a gallop but is back to herself now. She has been working well so we were expecting a good run and we’re delighted. Farrier Dan Breen, who bred her, heads the syndicate and the lads are all local. Dan bred some good horses including Maries Rock and this mare has a good pedigree too, so I’d say he’ll breed off her in time. There is a race for her at the November meeting in Cheltenham so should go for that, although she wouldn’t want the ground any softer that today.
