Quotes on Genuine Article (GB)

It has been a long time coming for this horse after we bought him, as we thought he'd have won before now and we thought he'd win here last year. He was a bit disappointing overall but the key to him is a cut in the ground. He was proven on this track, which was a big help and Seamie spoke to Colin (Keane, jockey son who is currently suspended) who said to ride him forwards. Colin picked out this horse to buy so he'll be delighted. He had a grand run in Naas the last day and it left him spot on and everything worked out today.

Quotes on Iron Fist (IRE)

It was a nice performance as he was carrying plenty of weight. He enjoyed the ground and Shane said he won despite not handling the track. We thought an awful lot of him as a two-year-old, but he took a while to do things right although is doing things right now. It was a good performance, is an improving horse, and he really loves that ground.

Quotes on Engines On (IRE)

He’s a nice horse. Obviously he was with Prunella Dobbs and when she retired I was lucky to get him,. He won well last year in the Curragh for her. We thought he might take a blow today and Chris said he did but he was just tough and genuine. Hopefully he can improve a little bit for it. We’ll have to see what Mr O’Gorman (handicapper) is going to do. I have him entered in Galway and we’ll see if he goes there. He needs a dig in the ground.

Quotes on Diego El Queso (IRE)

It’s no more than he deserved. He’s hit the crossbar a few times. He liked the surface and he could go up in trip so we’ll see if there is another race here. Gary gave him a good ride and we’re delighted for the owner to get that monkey off his back. He’s a lovely horse and will hopefully fill into himself.

Quotes on Perry Mason (GB)

He was probably a bit too far back in the Lincoln, we were a bit disappointed, but it probably crowned him for today. We’ll probably step him up now into a better class. He might come back for the mile-and-a-quarter race here next Friday. This place is good to me, I had my first winner here as well last year. It’s a lucky place. It’s nice to have a Saturday horse, that’s the dream really, and hopefully we have one in him. I have 15 riding out and it’ll be a busy campaign. We’ll probably aim for the Galway Mile with him, he has won around there and that would be the plan.

Quotes on Final Voyage (IRE)

He's been coming along with each run this year. We stepped him up to seven the last time and he stayed on nicely. He just missed a piece of work during the week because the grass was so soft so I said to Shane to drop him in, get him to relax early and then hopefully play him late. He got a beautiful run, he gave him a great ride, and just got there in the last couple of strides. He's a horse that loves the all-weather and he's a gentleman to have anything to do with. It's just nice to get the year going. There are a few more races coming along for him. There might be something at the all-weather championships for him in Newcastle.

Quotes on Independent Expert (IRE)

I knew she’d love conditions. She had been running at Dundalk and she probably shouldn’t have been as she likes a cut in the ground,. I wasn’t sure if she was fully revved up for today. She’s a filly that doesn’t carry much weight and takes no work to get ready. You’ll probably see the best of her fresh but at the same time I didn’t know if she had enough done to be involved. Joey gave her a lovely ride, he took her back and let them at it, and then she stayed on well. A mile is probably better for her as well. The boys are excellent at claiming, they don’t miss a beat and if there is any value they will take it. They were very sweet on her, they said she just needed a freshen up and she’s obviously done well for the break. She has been placed in some big handicaps and ran in Royal Ascot last year. We’ll make hay while the ground is soft. It’s absolutely brilliant to get one in those colours for the week that’s been. Obviously we lost Jim Gough who was buried last week. For Stephen and James McAuley it’s great for them to get a winner. Jim has been a massive supporter of mine for the last number of years. We’ve had some great horses and we’re going to miss him dearly. The whole yard will miss him. He’s been so good to us, buying horses and keeping us busy. There are ten in the yard at the minute. It would be great if it kept going, we’ll see. He just loved the game and leadin

Quotes on Calm The Jets (GB)

We knew he was a very, very good horse. We will probably aim for something like one of those Derby trials. He's green, he hung and he did everything wrong today, and he could just end up being a pretty smart horse. He's not a Derby horse, but he's up to landing in that black-type (Group 3) company - he might be better than that. I haven't had anything like him. He was just weak as a baby and we minded him. We were ready for today - he definitely needed today to learn. The family is very good. He does (show plenty at home) and I've nothing to go with him anyway!. He ran in that barrier trial in the middle of summer and he was so weak, it was just a day away for him. We think he has a big future. He is for sale, but we would want an awful lot of money for him because he is a very, very exciting horse. Open to offers, but we wouldn't be stressed. He's very sound and very easy to train. We'll probably step him up (in trip) the next day. He wants further, obviously. He will get further. He has a lovely action and I think he'd like a bit of nice ground (on turf). His next run will be on the turf.

Quotes on Key Witness (IRE)

He walked by me at the Newmarket sales, and I said to Catherine ‘there’s a racehorse’, and bought him for 15 grand. . He’s only three and is a Saturday horse now. I’ll probably put him away now for the winter.

Quotes on Playin Cool (IRE)

Luke said he didn’t really enjoy the ground but he was impressive there. He stuck at it well and showed plenty of heart. He’s a nice type of horse and did it well today. I’d say Aidan’s horse traded short in running. He got enough of them yesterday, let someone else have a little go!. Our lad got in a little bit of trouble turning in, off the heels off horses, and he was still a little bit babyish even after the two runs. He was well backed the first two times and was well backed again today so someone knows more than I do.

Quotes on Highbury See See (IRE)

It was a nice performance from a three-year-old to beat some hardened sprinters. He’s very consistent and we’ve a lot of options. He is entered in the horses-in-training sale at Newmarket and we’ve a good slot in that, three-quarters through the catalogue on the first day. That is an option and the owners will decide that. They’ve a very nice, fun, horse on their hands whatever they decide to do. He’ll go up in the handicap now. There is one race (Irish Lincoln) that comes to mind at the start of next season that could be an option for him now. We’ve been second and third in it a few years and we’d like to win it. All these Belardos keep improving. They like a bit of juice in the ground and the older they get the better they get. We’ve been very fond of the sire since we had Fiach McHugh that went on to win a Group 1 in Hong Kong after (as Red Lion).

Quotes on Daonethatgotaway (GB)

I’m delighted Reese was able to ride a (first) winner for me, as he is apprenticed to me but has ridden winners for plenty others. That's his first double and he gave that horse a great ride, and knows him inside out. The owners (Up The Blues Syndicate) are a great bunch of lads and they love it. We have been unlucky with him, though, so the horse deserves it more than anything else. We were finishing second and third, and second and third, and had a few hard luck stories. Every time he was finishing placed, he was getting raised a pound or two so we said we would try something different and tried him over a mile and a-quarter the last day. He is versatile, but that is his grade. He has won on soft ground as well, so we don't know where we are going to go. As long as he stays running like that, we'll stay going. As long as he stays enjoying it, we will stay going. If he tells us that he has enough, we will pull the plug and give him a break and freshen him up and come again.
