Quotes on Chantez (IRE)

That was nice. I loved her first run here as they quickened twice and I said that was a bit above the ordinary as a maiden. I was tempted to go to the Curragh the last day but Red Letter's form was there so we bypassed that and came back here, to the track she had handled, with a view to the Ingabelle Stakes. That is a race that has been very lucky for us. She did exactly what we thought she'd do. She shouldn't be running as she's so light and immature. She's just so not there yet. It's like Dublin buses. We had a load of horses last year and now, all of a sudden, every filly I have is a nice filly. We're just lucky and it's great. She's good and any other year she'd be your best one. I love having a second bite at a maiden. You get disappointed not winning for a minute but then you walk away and say 'lovely, another maiden, and I don't have to go to a stakes race'. Now she's had two runs and I have an Ingabelle horse, so happy days.

Quotes on Fregada (IRE)

We had her entered in the Moyglare but she got a little touch of sore shins six or seven weeks ago,. We couldn't run her and backed off her. Obviously when we entered her in the Moyglare we thought she was good. She's a nice filly, she was green today but she did it very well. She ran around a little bit when she hit the front but she was entitled to do that. She's never been away. It's great to have her for James and Charlotte (Musgrave), she was impressive. She's a very good filly. When she's working with anything we have she'd gallop all over them. She's still a baby but once she gets a bit of racing she'll be really good.

Quotes on Likedbymike (IRE)

That was very good and she improved with every run. Over five (furlongs) she is very quick and we were hoping today's easy five would suit and it did. She has a lot of pace but we couldn't get her into a breeze-up (sale) although she was the best breeze-up horse we had. There you are, she showed it today and she will definitely be for sale.

Quotes on Little Queenie (IRE)

It was just great that she won and the 10lb was a great help, and the draw. She's so game. Ciara (Flynn, daughter) does all the work with her at home, and they get on great. It worked out well. She's in next week over seven (furlongs) - she's unlikely to run. There's not much more unless we go to Newcastle. I wouldn't rule it (Newcastle, Good Friday) out now, but it is just so competitive over there. I think Newcastle would suit her because she would like a stiff six. We probably won't have much more time with her racing. They will possibly cover her next year.

Quotes on Sarahmae (IRE)

I hadn’t ridden her much at home but Denis had told me that she had a chance here today. I hadn’t ridden her in a race for a while either and she had been missing the break, so he told me to get her out of the stalls. I would actually have won further but she didn’t do a whole lot in front, and that’s just her. I think she is in-foal to Blackbeard and they had also mentioned the Rockingham for her as a possibility next.

Quotes on Temperance (IRE)

She’s always been a very good filly,. I ran her in the Birdcatcher and thought she’d win that. I put a tongue-tie on her to see if it would improve her and she didn’t jump and got into all the trouble. She looked like the winner of the race to me but didn’t get the run. I said we’d go back to maidens and we kept bumping into one. She ran a blinder two months ago in Dundalk. Johnny Murtagh’s filly (Songhai) won it and she was third in a Listed race the other day. I’ve always thought she’d a black-type filly but couldn’t win my maiden. I kept coming up against 90 horses so I said we’d just go for a handicap. The last day I ran her back a bit too quick and I saw it wasn’t the thing to do. I said I’d freshen her right up and thankfully the ground has stayed firm, because that’s what she wants. Everyone keeps preaching that she wants seven, I don’t disagree as I think she could stay seven but I think six is her trip. There is a race next week for her but it would be the same mistake again, running her back too quick. It was either the 0-80 against older horses or this. I thought there would be a huge field for this but there were only 12 or 13 entries and seven declared, but it was a hot field. On paper and homework she should win that but she just hadn’t won.

Quotes on Treasure Rose (IRE)

Ben has been adamant to drop her back to six as she shows so much pace, I thought seven furlongs was a good trip for her,. She has pace and she’s getting faster with a bit of racing. Sometimes with these fillies when they get their head in front once it makes all the difference. She had five seconds so we were scratching our heads but she’s on a bit of a roll now. She’s a fine big filly and hopefully she can keep improving.

Quotes on Oh Cecelia (IRE)

She is going in the right direction and after running yesterday, it was lovely that she pulled out well and did that today. Fortune favours the brave and I told David (Kelly) that she was an inspired purchase by him (for £9,000 in January), so it is all down to him. She lost her good early pitch yesterday and didn't get a run when she needed it, and flashed home a bit. She had a walk yesterday at 4pm, ate up overnight and showed her well-being to me so she was good to go. Billy said she liked racing in isolation and today is another step forward. I 'd imagine she'll get a hike for winning today and I think we'll have a go at the Polonia Stakes in early-May now.

Quotes on Tahcawin (IRE)

We were never as disappointed with a horse as we were with her in Roscommon last time. We thought she was a very good filly all year, probably one of our best two-year-olds. I don’t know what she’s beaten there today but hopefully the penny has just dropped now and she might go and do something a bit more next season. She is in the Goffs Million, we probably won’t run her back but it’s an option. We were scratching our heads a little bit in Roscommon, she stopped at the furlong pole and probably wasn’t even the winner at the furlong pole. It was just one of those where we drew a line through it and moved on. She got a mark of 70 so this was an obvious target from there and we trained her for this race and thankfully it worked out. We won’t rush into anything now, we’ll get her home and mind her. She might be finished for the season and she could turn up in a good race yet.
