Quotes on Fiveonefive (IRE)

Cartmel had been the plan to hopefully win a race for the fourth year in-a-row but it didn't go to plan. I told the lads that he'd win in Galway instead and thankfully it worked out. It was a masterclass from Jack and only for him, I don't think he'd have won. I know Jack since our pony racing days and we've had good fun through the years. He was the first horse I ever bought. He was initially one of three horses in my yard and is the yard favourite. He isn't an easy horse and Ray Loftus has always ridden him out, but he was cheap and I got two great owners, Salvatore Giannini from Wales and Tony Lagan from the north, involved. The horse has seen it all happen in my yard and this is my first Galway Festival winner, so to get one over the line is brilliant.

Quotes on Path D'oroux (FR)

I know there were fallers but he won the race in a nice manner. He travels lovely every day, even in the Royal Bond he travelled very well but he cut out in a matter of 50 yards. He ran a lot better in Leopardstown the last day and hopefully he's on the way back. The ground is no bother to him as he's a big strong horse and he has plenty of gears too. I suppose the owners would like to go to Cheltenham for something so we might look at one of the handicaps.

Quotes on Bunker Buster (IRE)

He was very free, but that's the type of horse he is,. We thought he would settle, but once they jumped off, Philip said he was out of control. I'd say there's no point in trying to settle him in behind horses now and he's a front-runner at this stage. Maybe he might jump better the next day and we'll step him up in grade gradually. He's a nice horse, though.

Quotes on Radiator Springs (IRE)

I'm delighted for the lads (South Ros Racing Syndicate) who have been great supporters of ours and had Annexation with us previously. We've always had a bit of luck, thankfully, and fair play to Colin Bowe who recommended this mare to us. She wasn't overly expensive, so it's great. It is nice to see her back up her first run (third in Naas) for us and we'll see what the handicapper thinks and see from there.

Quotes on Malbay Madness (IRE)

I was a little bit disappointed in Bellewstown (eighth) because he was a bit keen. I was glad Paddy went on with him there at halfway because if he gets to relax, he finishes out the trip, obviously, like any horse. Paddy said they were going slow at halfway, so he just decided to go on and inject a bit of pace. He knew he would stay well up the hill, so it worked out well. It was a good run in Bellewstown and obviously the race did work out very well (winner Putapouninthejar followed up in the Galway Hurdle). He does it like here and his other wins were in Kilbeggan - something similar, righthanded. We'll see what is there next for him. We'll see what the handicapper does and freshen him up.

Quotes on Duke Of Leggagh (IRE)

You'd nearly think it was easy!. He's a great honest horse and he loved the ground. Terry gave him a great ride and he had him in the right place all the way. The instructions he got were when he got to the top bend, take it up. Away he went. He's very adaptable and a good honest horse. He wants to win, that's the main thing. He probably will (get more hurdle opportunities). Hopefully, the handicapper doesn't go mad now. When he gets those conditions in those types of races, he's an honest horse. Terry deserves it, a hard worker.

Quotes on Dont Go Yet (IRE)

I couldn't see Philip Fenton's horse (One Big Boum) being beaten and I thought Philip Rothwell's horse (Give Him A Chance) had a good chance too. This lad has been on the go along time and I brought him here and thought it might be the last time he'll ever run over a hurdle. He's 12 and it's coming towards the end of the season and I'm not going to run him on very fast ground. I thought he might enjoy today, with a bit of an ease in the ground. The veterans race is on here in about a months time and he could come back for that. He is nearly better over fences than he is over hurdles. We'll see how things are at the time. Sarah is in with us three days a week. She is very obliging and if we are stuck, she'll come in. Thank God we've got a winner for her anyway.

Quotes on Simply Natural (GB)

she got a grand ride from the front, they went steady and quickened down over the last couple of hurdles. The experience she had stood to her and the idea had been to draw the inexperience out of the favourite (Light Up The Dark). It worked well and is a nice start to the season. She has a handicap mark already and has plenty experience. It is great for the (Simply Ridiculous) syndicate, who are a good local group of six and my dentist Conor Irwin heads it.

Quotes on St Denis's Well (IRE)

I wouldn't have minded which of them won really! Harley Street (finished 12th) probably just didn't handle the ground, but Denis was good - we knew he would handle it. He's back down in that grade. He hasn't been able to win out of a 0-100 over hurdles, but he did it there today anyway. This has been the plan since he came back in. The handicapper probably really has him, so we said go back to where we know he runs well. He's (rated) 120 over fences, so hopefully he can still run away. He's obviously just a better chaser. He's gawky in front and you're happy his ears are pricked and he's not killing himself. The Ladies National at Fairyhouse in two weeks' time, I'd say that is where we will go next. He was second in that a couple of years ago as well.

Quotes on This Songisforyou (USA)

I thought he might need the run as he thrived so well since Galway so didn't fill Michael (Mee, owner) with much confidence. It was a last minute declaration but thankfully it's all worked out as it's a great pot to get. He's a been a great horse and is very versatile. it was a very good ride but I probably didn't fill him with confidence either! I told him he might need the run and to ride him to run well, but he was ultra cool. He's still in the English Cambridgeshire in two weeks' time and if it turned up nice ground, he might go. He is ground dependent and likes to rattle off nice ground.

Quotes on Catchabird (IRE)

She's been knocking on the door in handicaps and she just couldn't get her day. We played around in trip a bit, but I think the two miles is her trip. We probably made a bit too much use of her before and we said we'd take our time today and see if she'd come home and she did. She got a very good ride from Aidan. She was getting the 8lb from the bumper winners today and we thought she was entitled to win. She was race fit and had been running all winter. She is a home bred and is a full-sister to Getabird, so it was important to get a win with her. She'll keep tipping away once the ground is on the slow side, she wouldn't handle any quick ground. She's in at Navan on Saturday and might turn up there with a penalty. That's my second winner of the season and I had my first one last year. I've only the two in training at the moment and they've both won now.

Quotes on Hesgonethatway (IRE)

He’s a big raw horse, a big weak horse. At one stage last year I was nearly thinking of pulling the plug on him and then we gave him the summer off. They are a great bunch of lads (Night Owls Syndicate) to train for. They were hugely patient with him and he’s just improved as the winter has gone on. He’s a weak five-year-old and hopefully he’ll keep improving away. I thought he’d run well today but I thought there would be an older, stronger, horse that would handle the ground a little bit better and that we might be placed. To be fair to Brian, he gave him a very good ride. I told him to take his time and go wide. I’m delighted for Brian as well. He rang me a few weeks ago to see if there would be a position in the yard for him. He’s just coming to me a day a week. I told him maybe next October we might use him a little bit more or have him in the yard a little bit more. At the moment we have a very happy settled camp, so the only position was for somebody to ride in a 7lb claimers race. That was his first ride for me so hopefully he’ll be happy.

Quotes on Rightfolksplease (IRE)

Myself and my father had been keeping a close eye on him (since Wexford). My father left him out in the field for the full day and we watched him. He seemed in good spirits. He went out and he won on Saturday. Went out in the field on Sunday. He did two laps of the gallop Monday and two laps on Tuesday. Then out in the field for the rest of the day. I’m delighted. The owners are a great bunch of lads from south Kilkenny. To have the winner at Wexford the other day, and here at Tramore, is a dream.
