Quotes on Tina's Indian (IRE)

It was a good opportunity for the horse on ratings. We got a little bit anxious there for a minute. Ronan was good on him and let him stride on. I thought Diego (Dias)’s horse was coming there to do us but to be fair to the horse he did pick up. He won well enough at the line. After the gelding operation he seems to be going a lot better. Whether we chance the all-weather or not we don’t know, but we’ll have that discussion with Ronan.

Quotes on Lord Massusus (IRE)

he got a little bogged down in the ground at the Curragh the first day where seven furlongs probably didn’t suit him either. We expected a better run that day but were very disappointed coming home. We put the hood on and he settled better today: he has been over-racing through his races a little bit. we’ll keep him to Listed and Group 3s here and maybe come back here on Champions Weekend for the Boomerang Stakes. He’ll be a solid horse in all those Listed and Group races here and at the Curragh for the season. We tried him in a Group 1 last year and he’s just not quite that level but he’s very solid at this level and he’s able to carry the penalties. People say he’s effective on soft ground but that was in a nursery and in a conditions race as a two-year-old, but this - and quicker, is his preferred surface.

Quotes on Saracen (FR)

He was impressive, he's a nice colt and had been showing up well at home,. He was going to make his debut a few weeks ago but just had a little setback. He quickened up really smartly there and looks like a smart horse for next season. I'm delighted to have, what potentially looks like, a good horse for Al Shaqab and the team. They've been good supporters of ours. This guy will come back for a Guineas trial in the spring. We were a little bit worried about ground conditions but you have no choice at this time of year. We were hopeful that he'd cope with them but given his pedigree and how he looks I'd expect him to be better on a faster surface. Obviously he'll have no problem going a bit further as well, given his pedigree. He's a smart colt and Dylan said he felt like he has a lot of speed.

Quotes on City Of Memphis (IRE)

We bought her off Katie Walsh at the breeze-ups last year and just waited with her. We haven't looked much, but she has plenty of ability and, everything she does, she does with ease. We were confident coming here that she would run a good race and I'm delighted she has won. When you go to the breeze-up sale, you pay your money and take your chance. We've been lucky with Alan (O'Flynn, owner). He asked me to buy him fillies in the past few years and we got Purple Lily the first year and now this one, so he has two nice fillies. We'll take her home now, and aim to go up the grades, hoping to get black-type.

Quotes on Duckadilly (IRE)

She’s a filly that I’ve had an awful lot of faith in all the way through. She won in Naas last year and people were saying ‘how was she that long off the track?’. I was minding her a lot as I always held her in very high regard. I’m only a young trainer and to come across a horse like this so early.. You see her in the race, she goes through the gears very easy. Ben Coen rides her all her work but unfortunately he was down in Cork today. Scott McCullagh rode her work last year as well. I always wanted to see more out of her at home, and I wasn’t seeing it. Ben put the faith in me the last day, he said he’d never ridden her to be flat out. He said he hadn’t ever got to the bottom of her in her work and said he thought she’d take an awful lot of getting to the bottom of. She was working with very decent horses but I had to see it in front of me to really believe it. She was even doing that easy today and parking up when she hit the front. Nothing ever happened to her or went against her last year. We took our time and got balloted out in a Listed race at Dundalk at the end of the season. She was out with a friend of mine Derek McCormack all winter and did well but when she came back in she got stomach ulcers. She wasn’t doing well and I couldn’t train her. I sent her to another friend of mine, Paul Winters, and he turned her around in six weeks. He needs to take a lot of the credit for the filly getting he

Quotes on Jancis (IRE)

She's a lovely filly. Myself and Nancy (Sexton) spoke last week and it was either here or Killarney next week. I just thought that Killarney would be a full field and might be a bit much for her. I thought that she'd been up here and had a good experience the last day so let's come back here. Win, lose or draw she'd learn a lot more today, which she did. She's a great walking filly, she's an athlete, and we just took our time with her. We're happy with that. We'll come back here for the Matron, I don't know if we'll do anything before that. She's a light-framed filly and she doesn't take much work. They were going a good clip today, the last day was a maiden whereas this was a Group 3 with proper hardy horses in it. I just loved the way she picked up when she went through the gears. Billy thought there was still more there. She obviously flows over good ground so that's what she'll be running on, we'll keep her on that.
