Quotes on The Banger Doyle (IRE)

I think we were a bit fortunate but having said that, he deserved his day in the sun as he had been ultra consistent and finished second in three Flat races this year. There might be one more race for him if the ground stays good but his time of year is coming to an end.

Quotes on Brideswell Lad (IRE)

That was lovely and staying is his game. He has a staying pedigree and two-and-a-half miles was too tight for him the last day,. He travelled well throughout, J.J. was very pleased with him and gave him a brilliant ride. That was nice to get at the start of the new season but it might be the end for him for a while. He has been on the go a while so might get a break and the Kerry National would be in mind.

Quotes on Fighting Fit (GB)

Things didn't go right for him last year but he is a lovely horse and this year has bounced back. You'd have to be happy with that. He seems to have plenty pace, travelled better than he did at Galway and will stay at this distance. Winter ground won't bother him and there are a few options for him soon.

Quotes on Flash De Touzaine (FR)

I took a chance on the trip, because we really should have been running in the earlier Mayo National. I just wanted to run against more exposed horses. He’s not slow but just about got away with that distance (2m 3f 136yds) as the ground is quicker than I thought it would be, with not much rain. He jumped great and Donagh gets on well with him. He hasn’t got much mileage for a veteran, I haven’t over-raced him, and thought this was the race for him.

Quotes on Watch The Weather (GB)

It’s the first time that Tiernan rode for me and he gave him a lovely ride. I told him to try and keep him on the bridle for as long as he could and come with one run. I thought the ground was gone on him. He’s better on better ground and that’s the first time that he’s won on that sort of ground. He jumped for fun and it’s a great pot to win. He’s been on the go all summer and will go on his holidays now. We’ll have him back in the spring maybe for Punchestown.

Quotes on The Folkes Tiara (IRE)

That was great. He had lost his form a little bit and it's great to see him back. Brian was brilliant on him. I'm delighted for the lads, Johnny, Paddy and Willie. He jumped unreal. Brian said he thought he was beaten coming to the last and he said the leap he put in there was brilliant and winged it. He won at Leopardstown last year and he'll be a couple of pounds higher now but it's a very valuable pot. We're delighted to win today.

Quotes on Farmers Lodge (IRE)

It doesn't always work but he was 130 over fences and won his beginners chase here. He's had a few issues and hasn't been straightforward to train. If you go back and look at his two runs in Thurles, he was fourth to Daddy Long Legs and Asian Master. 113 looked a nice mark over hurdles but it doesn't always work out. We schooled him during the week and he wasn't spending any time in the air, he was very slick. We have options and we'll probably keep him over hurdles for the time being. He's obviously going to go up for that. He won his beginners on heavy ground and is after winning there on good ground so he seems to be ground versatile. He was working well at home. It was a one horse market but when they are off the track for that long it's very pleasing to see him go and do it. I'm not sure if there is anything for him in Leopardstown but we'll find somewhere for him.

Quotes on Bythesametoken (IRE)

that was brilliant. He got an awful fall when he was going to win over fences at Leopardstown (in March 2022) and completely lost his confidence. He didn't jump or do anything right for a long time so we ended up giving up running over fences. He got his confidence back over hurdles and in fairness to Robbie (Dunne, previous jockey) he said to try him again over fences. I was nervous he ran well and jumped great at Listowel last week. Keith (Donoghue) said he felt like a different horse today, his confidence was up and he was coming down in grade from a 0-140 to a 0-116. he deserved to get his day, it has been a while since his last win and it is great to have the Monroes (owners) who have been a great part of us. When John (Monroe, former trainer) passed away a number of years ago the horses came to us as the lads were busy with businesses and their pub. We've had great success and I'm delighted for them.

Quotes on Krabat (IRE)

A winner for me here is like a Cheltenham winner for someone else. I knew this horse would stay and that stamina was needed today in that ground. Cian gave him a nice cool ride. He and all my horses are left out in a paddock every day which I think keeps them fresh.

Quotes on Union Park (FR)

There wasn't a suitable chase for him until Christmas but it was always the plan to go back over hurdles. He has won five races and Oliver and Marie are fantastic owners who leave me do my own thing - if there is a mistake made, it is due to me. The horse has built on promise and we let him improve away over fences. That has given him confidence and we are using his hurdle mark at the right time. We might even look at going across the water with him at some stage as I think English racing - where they go a gallop in front, will suit him. One or two of my horses had underperformed in the last fortnight and it is hard to regain confidence all the time but he had been working very well during the week. It is two weeks since we had a winner - it feels like two months, but we were hoping for a big big run.

Quotes on Digby (IRE)

Richie said he is a grand horse, is still a bit raw and said they went a good gallop. He said he knew from the bottom of the straight he had them covered and he stays going well, we thought that ourselves after his Sligo win. Winter ground is an unknown but has been running on quick ground and that's the softest ground he has run on yet. He has been on the go a while but we'll see what the boss man (owner Pat Conway) wants to do. He'll jump fences next year.

Quotes on Supreme Jet (IRE)

I’d say he got bogged down in the ground at Limerick - it was very deep, holding ground. He has a nice bit of experience jumping which I thought might be a help to him if we were going to make plenty of use of him. I’d like to think he can go on goodish ground. He’s a good scopey horse and should make a nice chaser.

Quotes on Dont Go Yet (IRE)

I couldn't see Philip Fenton's horse (One Big Boum) being beaten and I thought Philip Rothwell's horse (Give Him A Chance) had a good chance too. This lad has been on the go along time and I brought him here and thought it might be the last time he'll ever run over a hurdle. He's 12 and it's coming towards the end of the season and I'm not going to run him on very fast ground. I thought he might enjoy today, with a bit of an ease in the ground. The veterans race is on here in about a months time and he could come back for that. He is nearly better over fences than he is over hurdles. We'll see how things are at the time. Sarah is in with us three days a week. She is very obliging and if we are stuck, she'll come in. Thank God we've got a winner for her anyway.

Quotes on General Clermont (FR)

He was too free the last day and settled today. I thought he'd do that a long time ago and ran a cracker in a maiden hurdle here in the past when he was a 112 or 113 rated horse. He is a tricky horse to win with but got a super ride today. My horses are healthy and we'll enjoy the wins while we have them.
