Trainer Quotes

Quotes on La Tache (IRE)

He's slow out of the gates. Colin says he's never going to be any other way. That's who he is. We even bounced him, which I'd never do at home, since his last run. He's just so laid back. He's not a five-furlong horse. He's going to be a grand horse for Philip and Norma Richards. Another horse Keri has bought for them, so another sprinter to look forward to. It's just taken a while for the penny to drop with him. I'm delighted with the filly (Southern Boulevard, third), she's after running a blinder. She ran away with Gary going to the start in Naas, so we put a different bit on her and we put earplugs in her. I'm gobsmacked to see that she did what she did and stayed going. She's going to develop into a nice horse, that filly.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Grayrobin (GB)

My colours again, a great day today. We missed the breeze up with this horse. He was never meant to be in training. We had a virus in the yard, he literally couldn't travel because he had a temperature of 40 and it was a no-go. I was devastated. I sent him to Archie and he ran poor (8th, Nottingham), but it was a first run. Then when I had a few left over from the breeze ups, I said I might as well have him in my team since he didn't win first time out. He duly did it there. I was worried with the weight, I really was as a stone more than a few of them. That is two penalties in England. Anyway, he did it and big thanks to Chris and the lads in the yard. I do think a lot of him, I think he would have made a few quid at the breeze up had he of been there but we missed it. Then I thought, maybe if we win, we could go to the Ascot Sale. He was going to Ascot all year and then he missed everything. You just have to take it on the chin. He's a nice horse to have in the yard and no doubt I'll have him well entered up in a few big races. He's for sale.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Lars Soldier (IRE)

He ran well here the last day. I told Wesley going out to keep him fairly forward as he had a bit more experience than the other horses and I think that’s what won it,. The other horse was very green and the penny didn’t drop until late on. It’s nice to win a Curragh maiden as a two-year-old at the start of the season. I don’t know where we’ll go from here. If some lad comes with a big cheque this fella (brother Laurence, the horse’s owner) might sell him!. He’s a good honest little horse.
