Fri, 22nd May, 2026 True Love I’m not so sure how hard a decision it was for Ryan this time as True Love is two from two already this year.
Fri, 22nd May, 2026 Gstaad He’s won at the Curragh before so that’s no problem but I don’t know if you could say it should suit him any better than Newmarket as they are both lovely tracks.
Curragh Sun, 24th May, 2026 Precise She really stepped forward today and Wayne gave her a beautiful ride. In Newmarket, Ryan was on the 'wrong' side and when he made his move, she got tired, needed the run and Ryan looked after her in the last half-furlong. Roger (Quinlan), who rides her every day, said this morning that she was a different filly than the one going to Newmarket. Wayne gave her a beautiful ride and we're over the moon. We were talking on the way to the races and Annemarie (wife) said how much stamina is in the pedigree and she is out of a really good and genuine Galileo-mare. Obviously the lads (Coolmore syndicate) will make the decision regarding running in the English Oaks so we'll say how she comes out of today. There is a good chance she'll run and Ryan (Moore) felt today that she was running, to go to the Oaks. It is a very exciting and she has an incredible pedigree. It is very difficult on Ryan and we discussed riding arrangements before declaration time. It was very hard for him not to ride True Love and while he didn't ride her in Newmarket because we weren't sure she would get a mile, but she did. Precise was only beaten five lengths at Newmarket, which isn't that much for this type of filly but she is a serious one and is as good as we've had. It looks like she will have no problem going further.
Curragh Sun, 24th May, 2026 Sun Goddess She had a lovely run the first day. We got her out the first day in case she was an Ascot filly and ran so well that that is why she is back here. She could be an Albany filly if she knows enough, but Ryan said she is still very green between the two and the one (furlong markers) but then she started to go again after that. We have Neolithic, who is a fair horse as well by the same stallion and this is a big rangy filly who will definitely improve plenty as she goes.
Curragh Sun, 24th May, 2026 Great Barrier Reef We pitched him into a deep piece of work the last day at home, which he got a bit lost in, so we weren’t sure if there was a reason but there wasn’t. He came out of the work very well and fresh but we weren’t sure about today. Ryan said he was very green in the stalls and that he missed the break, so gave him a chance in the first part of the race. He said he flew home, but that he had to get hold of him and to teach him. He is obviously very high-class and should get seven (furlongs). If he comes out of this OK, we could let him go to the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and you would have to be very happy with him. Wayne (Lordan, on Carry The Flag) let his horse roll along and his horse will be very happy going back to five (furlongs).
Curragh Sat, 23rd May, 2026 Causeway We knew he’d stay very well. I left the cheekpieces off him today, when he was going up to a mile-and-a-quarter, and he is very lazy. He (Moore) was very happy with him. We always thought as he went up (in trip) he would get better. He’s a lovely, honest-to-God, horse. Ryan gave him a lovely straightforward, uncomplicated, ride.

Curragh Sat, 23rd May, 2026 Gstaad He’s a lovely uncomplicated horse and Ryan gave him a beautiful ride. He’s very straightforward and genuine. All the team around him do a great job, there are so many people involved with him and thanks to them. Obviously, he was in Coolmore as well from the time he was a foal. He’s a lovely horse and we always thought that he would end up even getting a bit further than a mile. Ryan was very happy today, he said he was a little bit lazy through the middle of the race but when he got him opened up he went to the line very well. We’re delighted. He got beat in three Group One's last year and we felt that he was a little bit unlucky in the three. We were delighted that he held on to go to America, and he won his Group One. Sometimes when that happens horses don’t get it back, but we felt there were circumstances every day he got beat. He’s very straightforward, he just needs a little bit of room to get going. Sometimes if it gets too tactical or if he gets caught up in pace that wasn’t strong early (it doesn't suit). He’s probably stronger now and the Curragh was lovely. Ryan was drawn wide, and you’d say that would be a disadvantage to some horses, but it was lovely for him because he was going to get a clear run and the pace was nice. Ryan said the best feel he ever gave him was when he won the Coventry, so you’d hope that he’d be very happy to go back to Ascot. The horse we ran in the French Guineas (Puerto Ri
Curragh Sat, 23rd May, 2026 Sergei Diaghilev We’re delighted with him, he hadn’t done an awful lot of work. He only stepped into main work in the last two weeks and he did a nice piece of work last Saturday. We knew he’d be very green and there is probably a lot to come from him. It was a nice introduction for him. All the horses that we are trying to get out now could be Ascot horses, but some of them will be too green and you’ll know when you run them if they won’t make it. I’m not sure with him. We ran him because we thought he could be a Coventry horse, Ryan wasn’t sure if he was going to know enough in time. Ryan said he’ll have no problem going seven. I’d imagine he’ll stick to six for the moment. He could improve so much. The horse that Jack (Cleary) rode (fourth-placed South Dakota) could be a Chesham horse, but we’ll see what will happen after his run.

Wed, 13th May, 2026 Christmas Day The York horses are obviously all still in the Epsom picture, that is why they’re going there.
Mon, 11th May, 2026 Constitution River Constitution River went to Chester knowing that he could be an Epsom or a French (Derby) horse. And we were happy that it was a mile and a quarter, just in case he was going to go to France.
Naas Sat, 9th May, 2026 Carry The Flag He obviously had a lovely run the first day on very different ground. Coming here, we hoped he'd win and, in fairness, he got the job done. . Wayne felt just on the quicker ground, it's probably the quickest ground he's ever been on even at home, he just couldn't get fully traction, he's just rolling around. When the other filly came on his outside it really helped him. He'll put himself in the Ascot mix now and, we'll see how he progresses and, where he fits in. Jack's filly (Cleary, on Sun Goddess) is a lovely filly too. We'll try and get one more run into her and, hopefully she turns into an Ascot filly too.

Thu, 7th May, 2026 Constitution River The reason for running him today was to give us the option of the Derby by running him at Chester, obviously the lads will have a good chat with Ryan and see what they are all thinking.
Wed, 6th May, 2026 Constitution River Obviously they can’t all go to Epsom, so he could go to the Dee Stakes and then have the option of going to Epsom or France. We always thought a lot of him.
Mon, 4th May, 2026 Causeway 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.Ã‚ . 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.Ã‚
