Quotes on Fiveandahalf (IRE)
I thought turning in that he was in trouble, but he knuckled down and battled well. In fairness to him, he has a good attitude. I'm not sure where we'll go next, maybe a rated novice hurdle or something like that. It's a good problem to have. He could definitely step up in trip. That's good ground there today but on slower, two miles would be fine.

Quotes on Game Point (IRE)
My nephew Paddy Cody rode him to win in a common canter the last day but couldn't do the weight today. He had a lovely low weight today but I told Sam (Ewing) to keep a squeeze on him today as she can be lairy. Sam said he was lairy the whole way around but I knew it would take a fair horse to go by him. He is well able to jump but when he doesn't concentrate, he can be sloppy. He has a big engine, is a very good horse and going forwards, hopefully he'll be a graded horse. He has the ability but getting him out of it is the thing.

Quotes on Reaching High (IRE)
we can’t find a horse trained in either Ireland or Britain to have won a race in Ireland, since between the time of the founding of the Irish state in 1922, and until now. The Queen Mother had an Ulster National-winner trained in England (Laffy, 1962) and another of her horse’s Mascara was trained by John Oxx senior to win at Baldoyle in 1971. However, we couldn’t find a reigning British monarch’s horse to have won in Ireland since Irish independence in 1922, at the very least. David Summers, who manages the Royal Stud (on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk), is from Wexford and he texted me today with the relevant information. Both he and John Warren (who serves as the official Bloodstock and Racing Advisor to King Charles III and Queen Camilla) couldn’t find any Irish winners in the period since Irish independence.

Quotes on State Pension (IRE)
I’m delighted for Alistair (Spittal) and Lorraine who are over from Scotland today. They have two horses with me,. I’m delighted for the horse as well, because he’s a horse that we like a lot. He’s still a big baby ,but there is a big engine there and it’s only slowly coming to hand. He’s maturing all the time. He’s still green and he looks at things. Fair play to Jim Nolan who picked out this horse as a foal. He’s a serious judge of a horse.

Quotes on With Nolimit (FR)
I was hoping it wasn't going to be deja vu (last year, where he saw two of his runners exit at the last when lying first and second), but thankfully Jack got a good spin off him and said he wasn't doing a stroke the whole way round. It was pretty straightforward. Just a messy race, he wasn't doing a whole lot in front. I think he’s a better horse with a lead - when he won his Grade 1 in Punchestown, he got a lead the whole way. It is all about chasing down the road. Obviously, he could go to Fairyhouse or somewhere before - I'll talk to Michael and Eddie (O'Leary) and see. Nice to get him off to a start. We are a little slower this year and there is plenty of improvement in all these horses. I'd say he actually could drop in trip. In a better race, I'd say he could.

Quotes on Switch From Diesel (IRE)
He was a bit unlucky the last day in Kilbeggan, it just didn’t work out for him on the night. He’s improved again and he’s a big raw horse, a fine-looking horse. It’s great for the Devine family because they bred him, it makes it even more special as he’s like a member of the family. Geraldine and Nick are delighted. He’s a horse that should keep improving and he’ll have no problem jumping a fence. Ricky said he’s raw, he’s on it and off it, and I’d imagine there is plenty more improvement in him. He won well, handles a bit of nice ground, so we’ll pick our tracks and keep going.
