Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Bells Grove (IRE)

We thought he had improved a bit at home, he improved for the experience. You are always a little bit worried about going against handicappers. It was only his third run over hurdles. He's a game little fella and he takes his racing really well. He loves the game. I’m delighted with that and nice to get a winner at Navan as well, near home. I don't think he wants it too soft. We were talking the other day about maybe going to Cheltenham in October to see what is there for him. I think there is a race for him on the Friday. The ground at the October meeting could suit, and we want nice ground. Might be worth a trip over. I'll see what David (L'Estrange, owner) says. He's a cracking horse and I wish I had a few more like him.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Golden Handshake (GB)

We had a winner here last year but it’s 50 years since Carrow Boy won here in my father’s colours. He was a very dear horse to the family,. Philip said he kept galloping. We were a little bit unlucky in Galway and we felt we would have been closer, if not beaten, Columbus. We had a little peck on landing in Galway and the same happened here today with Columbus. That’s what happens in racing and it was our turn today to get the rub of the green. Gary Bannon isn’t here today, he’s off at the sales and he’s already spent the prize-money on yearlings!. He picked out this horse and has done a fantastic job with him since. He came to us with a little issue, he had a small hole in his hoof which put a lot of people off. We saw value in him and bought him. In fairness it’s turned out very well for us and Gary had him spot on for today. He can only improve. He’ll probably get another run and then get a break because he likes that better ground. Stature-wise he’s probably not going to take heavy winter ground. He’ll probably get a little bit of a break over the winter and then we’ll target a spring campaign.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Mr Hollywood (IRE)

I was hoping it might be the other way around! Emmet’s horse (Jeroboam Machin) ran very well and then my wife’s filly (Al Arrivee) ran a cracker as well, she was a little free up the front,. I think the winner is improving, his jumping will improve, so he’ll improve over hurdles. Probably a trip to York for the Ebor might be next on the agenda. That jumping will just put him in a nicer frame of mind, I think. Looking at the way he finished there, and in Ascot, I think he deserves a crack at a big prize over in York.
