Quotes on Sir Les Patterson (GB)

Lot of nice horses in there. We bought him in July, we took our time, and he ran a lovely race in the Bold Lad Sprint (third). We thought he would be a lovely fresh horse for the system. We paid a lot of money for him, we defied a lot of Middle Eastern money in the ring for him. Since the moment he came in, he showed us strong work and I'm hoping that this horse will hopefully develop into a little bit more than a premier handicapper next year. Time will tell. He has done that very nicely. All his wins have come on the all-weather, but he does have a split mark so hopefully next summer we will put a ring around something like the Scurry Handicap or the Bold Lad. We'll probably be heading for Newcastle now on Good Friday. I think we need one more run and we'll plot something there in February time with a view to getting him there fresh. He won't be seen much over the winter here. He's a top of the ground horse. We ran him on soft ground in the Joe McGrath (Curragh) and it was a big mistake. He's a horse that does bend his knee a little bit, but he definitely appreciates top of the ground. Hopefully, he is a nice horse to look forward to. Nice bunch of lads involved in him.

Quotes on Black Forza (USA)

He's a nice colt, he had a lovely run the first day at the Curragh. We were happy to come here and bring him back to six as he has a lot of pace. He learned plenty that day at the Curragh and Seamie was very complimentary of him there. It was very straightforward and he's a nice colt, he's learning all the time and still has a bit of learning to do. He's solid and mature and I'd say we'll kick on with him for the rest of the summer. He's a very good mover, likes fast ground and Seamie said he handled the undulations of the track here. We might go across the water as the summer progresses for a stakes race.

Quotes on Dark Ace (IRE)

We were after castrating him. He was a bit of a pup there earlier on and we cut him. The boys bought into him when one of the partners sold out - Damian (McCann) still stayed in him. We didn't expect him to run as well, I thought he might have needed it. I said he would be a nice horse for Dundalk, I wasn't expecting him to do this. He is lower (rated) on the grass as well, it was a big difference. He'll go to Dundalk Friday week over six furlongs. Only thing is, I have three others for it as well. He has won there twice. We didn't think he would go on this ground, we didn't think he would like this ground at all. He came home well on it.

Quotes on Collective Power (IRE)

It's good to win with him again. Sorcha was very good on him. I thought he'd gone a little bit moody and wasn't finishing out his races. She lights then up a bit, so we gave her a go on him. She's in with us a few mornings a week so it's great that she rode the winner. It was a very messy race, one minute 15 and change for good class sprinters.

Quotes on I Bid You Ajou (FR)

He jumped well and was where I wanted to be. I got a gap after coming around the bend and he quickened up well. It was some buzz!. I'm from Abbeyfeale, County Limerick and my father always had mares and a few horses at home. Joe is with me about six months. He rides well, is a good worker and I'm hoping he can kick on from here and get some outside rides as he deserves it. He's good value for his 10lb claim and was very good on the horse there today. Shane Foley told us after riding him in the Curragh to get him around a bend and let him roll.

Quotes on Cuban Grey (GB)

He enjoyed bossing them - all ours were a wee bit flat this past while. The one (Battle Borne) in the first race was second and ran a nice race, so they are coming back. What he does is break well from the stalls. He had a bad draw, so Luke decided to try and get him out and get him into a good position. He probably didn't realise he was as far in front, but he needed it in the end. He ran well to the line, so it gives him a nice summer scheme. We will follow the same route as last year and maybe go to the Curragh with him, that's the plan. That's a big boost for him, even a confidence booster for him and for us all!. He's a smashing horse and he gives it his all. Luke did the fractions well. He texted me earlier in the week for the ride and is a smashing lad. Conor (McKenna, son) never misses it. He'll be jumping around the bed in Australia, it's late there!

Quotes on Allsortz (IRE)

To be fair to him, he has grown up and become a man this year. He is getting better and better with every run and is really finding in his races now, and is doing things right. . He is a progressive sprinter, there is more to come as he is only a three-year-old and his half-brother (stablemate Sirocco Sands, finished second) didn't do too bad in the first race. It's funny, I actually think that Allsortz could make a lovely dirt horse as he pings the gates, he finds in his races and also has dirt racing in his pedigree.

Quotes on Fox In Flight (GB)

He had run over every trip but the trainer eventually got it! Physically he is quite sharp, but mentally he wasn't. We started him off over the six (furlongs), and you couldn't say he didn't stay the seven because he was only beaten a nose and a head. He is a lovely horse and will come back here for the winners' race in nine days time.

Quotes on All The Girls (IRE)

She’s lovely. She was very unlucky the last day, she came out of the stalls and starting plunging,. She had a very small saddle on her, I don’t know what sparked her off. We fancied her the last day and James was mad about her all along. He got down to 8-11 there and that’s light for him. On pedigree I was hoping the seven wasn’t going to stretch her but she stayed every yard of it and quickened up very well. She’s a lovely filly to do anything with. I was saying to one of the owners that the phone could be ringing after the way she won. We’ll see, we won’t do a whole lot more with her this year. We’ll let the dust settle. She’ll be very nice for next year, she’s a big filly.
