Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Columbus (GER)

We held him up in Killarney as he hadn't any experience over hurdles but, with that experience under his belt, we decided to change tactics and to make the running today. I thought he gave an exhibition of jumping for a horse having only his second run over hurdles. I don't know why he disappointed at Royal Ascot but Colin (Keane) said he just didn't stay, and maybe he was right. The Ebor in York is his next run and we'll see how he gets on there, but I'll be looking at mixing a Flat/jumping campaign. We'll see what happens on the Flat and if he looks good enough, we'll pursue that, but I'd also like to have him for the spring festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Eben Zaabeel (GB)

He was very keen and free, and he had only one run over hurdles. The track's undulations might not have been in his favour. They have done a great job on the track; it is watered and credit to them as it is as good as I've seen all over Ireland. We were happy to run him and take his chance. It all worked out well. He was a bit keen, but during the race Dan got him switched off. He was a bit novicey but, overall, you'd be very happy and he won well. There is only one winning post and it is fair stiff from the furlong (pole) home, you see an awful lot of results changing at Downpatrick and Galway and all those places with a stiff finish. That man (King) is one of the best lads riding and he knows where the winning post is and that is what counts.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Louiescall (IRE)

He was unlucky not to have won at this festival last year when he missed the last hurdle,. Today was the plan and going on the inside is a big help to a horse like him, so Dan gave him a great ride. It is unfortunate for Cian (Quirke) to miss out as he is out injured. He had been slow coming to himself this year but when he starts to bolt with you at home, that's a sign he is back. He goes to the start early. He defied his penalty and the handicapper might leave him on the same mark, so we'll see. He is owned by (Galway Hurdle-winning owner) Ray Grehan's son Bryan and Gerry Hughes, who is a foreman in their building company.

Quotes on Minella Hollow (IRE)

We found it hard to keep him sound last season but brought him back this year and he has been 100%. We gave him a run back in Roscommon but hadn't had him away schooling, and he chipped in plenty that day,. He came on today, he was very fresh and stuck his neck out. Willie's (Mullins' runner-up Reaching High) made a mistake at the last but we also got in close to it, but were quickly away. There is a for sale sign on him.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Bartholomew (GB)

We liked him but I'd say he is still a bit immature. He is a stronger horse now though and has improved a bit. We'll enter him for the (Grade 1) four-year-old hurdle at Punchestown as he has beaten a horse rated 121 by ten lengths today, so we hope he is getting to that type of area. We were waiting for nice ground and he jumped well and was more professional today. We'll see how he is after his Punchestown race and he could come back for a late-summer, autumn campaign. On the Flat, he would want further than 1m4f but he'll have to have a break at some stage this summer too.

Quotes on Mode Avion (FR)

To be honest, it didn’t look the strongest race in the world. It was a good performance, but it was a good opportunity,. I think he’s come on a bit from Thurles (third there last month), he’s a grand horse. We might jump a fence with him sooner rather than later. We might try and use his four-year-old allowances over fences, he jumps great.

She's a Walk In The Park and she does everything at a hundred miles an hour,. You could probably run her again tomorrow, she's that type. She's just tricky and takes plenty of riding at home. She dug her toes in and refused to race one day, and you just have to know her. The main thing was to get her to jump off today. She ran well in her first bumper at Punchestown on heavy, and today's ground was ideal for her.
