Quotes on Bay Of Supremacy (IRE)

the blinkers are a big help. He worked in them the other day and Ben said he gets through the ground really well. There is a five-furlong race next week in Down Royal and we’ll probably let him go again. We’ll keep him busy while the ground is soft.

Quotes on Clonmacash (GB)

He doesn't always start well, but he does put his best foot forward late on. I do love that about him. He's a very solid, fun horse and he was very unlucky here with Adam (Caffrey) last month. That was a good race and Sam gets on well with him. The 5lb off certainly helped.

Quotes on Gotta Catch'em All (IRE)

We have a few(horses) that are alright. The few owners I have are very good. Very loyal. He was second over a mile-and-a-half, I think he was twice over a mile-and-a-half. Twice over a mile-and-two. A mile, seven(furlongs); the dam was the same. No one ever told me they had loads of speed. I just put the blinkers on him one morning and they seemed to light him up and stayed straight. I'd say he'll stay further but we'll keep him at this distance for the time being.

Quotes on Nouvel Espoir (IRE)

I knew it (rain) wouldn't bother him too much, so I was happy coming up here. I was confident and he has done it well. I know him well. Obviously, I had a winner on him last year and I rode him plenty of times throughout the year. I spoke to Dylan Browne (McMonagle) beforehand, and he just said to keep it plain and simple and to take my time on him and he said he would run a great race for me. In fairness, he put his head down when I asked him to go and he hit the line well. Judging off the form of a couple of horses in the race, I thought they were going to go hard. Jimmy said to me to take my time and there was no need to rush. Get in and get comfortable, he said, and don't worry for the first three furlongs. Be nice and relaxed and go at the '2' pole. I'm still down with Joseph O'Brien and loving every day of it down there. Cheering home all the winners (in Royal Ascot), some training performance. With all the jockeys down there, you learn a lot. Every single person inside there has been a great help, and long may it last for all the good success.

Quotes on Buddy Batt (IRE)

You always think that when it is somebody else's horse (placings would be reversed) but, when it is your own, you are worried. On merit, I think he would have won and he is an improving horse. He went up 8lb, so it was a good effort. He's a very relaxed horse and he's a nice horse. We are hoping that he will probably have another run here, but we would also be hoping that would get a turf and an all-weather mark. He's a very kind horse and has a very relaxed attitude for a sprinter.

Quotes on Harry's Hill (GB)

That’s 10 races won now and to have a horse that can win 10 races in this country, it’s hard enough to win one. He’s a legend and we love him,. He loves it here, it’s maybe the stiff five. He had a couple of flat spots at the end of last year and the start of this year. When he’s on song he’s on song. He looks well and everything has been going well. We’ve run him over six once and he didn’t get home. I think there is a race in Bellewstown for him, he likes the fast five there. That depends on what the handicapper does. I had a fair idea that he’d overturn Mary Shoelaces today. Colin (Keane) felt he probably could have won the last day. Paddy’s 5lb helped. We’re trying to help Paddy and Sam Coen, they are all neighbours and friends so it’s not simple. I used to be slagging Paddy saying that he was the only one in Ireland that hadn’t rode a winner on him. There was no pressure on him at all. He said to me he was bouncing and I said ‘today is the day Paddy — ten wins’.

Quotes on Happy Henry (IRE)

I was giving out about Leigh a furlong down, he was being held up, but sure it is the way he finished. He loves that stiff five (furlongs) here. He has run well every time he has ran here. We reared him and he has been on the farm a long time, and he has owed us that. We have been persistent. I had him in a claimer and I took him out because I said he will win one, and I didn't want to lose him. He's a big, strong boy and he is only learning his trade now. I just thought with the blinkers, the minute he didn't see a horse, he stopped. He rocketed home, so I am going to keep the cheekpieces!

Quotes on Smoke Them Out (IRE)

we thought he’d run well, we had a nice bit of work done with him and he acts on that ground. We were in two minds whether to claim off him but took (Tormey’s) 7lb off, as he hadn’t dropped since his last win. He’s a right old money spinner and an ease in the ground is important.

Quotes on Aurora Nova (IRE)

she's a good, genuine filly who is too hard on herself on occasions and can work herself up, but is very honest. She's not great to break and the last day up the Curragh there was about 23 runners and she broke last but was only beaten two lengths. She didn't break too badly today and I'd say small fields probably suit her as well. She picked the right day to win as it was a good pot (€14,400 first prize) and we’ll definitely keep her going over the summer. She has won well there, so I'd imagine she will get a nice few pounds for that, so she might be a bit hard to place. The way she won there, we could chance getting black-type with her: that might be aiming a little high, but we might give it a go.
