Quotes on Pinot Gris (IRE)

We’re delighted with that. We said we’d try stepping him up in trip. He jumped well and I thought Darragh gave him a brilliant ride. He seemed to stay well. In fairness the last day it was two miles, they flew, and it was soft old ground. I’d say it was all a bit of a struggle and I’d say he’s not too keen on too much of a struggle. Today, in fairness, he was tough in the end. He jumped well bar the third last and did it nicely.

Quotes on Hashtag Pretender (FR)

It was a very ordinary beginners’ chase. We’ve a rating of 124 and hopefully the handicapper will drop us a good bit for that now,. The third horse was only 104. He was entitled to win it on his rating. We had a little concern over the ground but I don’t think it was too bad. He’s one of the few horses that we have that handles proper summer ground. He grabbed at the second last and missed it and what I liked today was when he got headed, he battled back. Last year he was making the running and when he got headed that was the end of him, but they were much better races last year. With a clear round he was entitled to go and do that, you’ll struggle to find a weaker beginners’ chase all year. I don’t think he’s good enough for any of the novices and I’m hoping the handicapper will drop him a little bit.

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 Where's My Jet (IRE)

He didn't get home in Galway but went to the start very fresh and we thought he was a much better horse than that. He won nicely in Killarney though and today beat Willie's other horse who is no slouch. I was happy that I was able to get a few lengths away from the others and his jumping was making ground, rather than me using petrol to do it. That is always a help when it comes to the business end and it was a good performance.

Quotes on Charlie Luciano (IRE)

He's just special, isn't he, cause he's a slow horse and he probably wants a bit further than that. The race cut up with the divide. . In fairness the owners are very lucky fellas, they've been lucky colours. This fella won four for them last year and they had another mare who won three or four for them as well. . He jumps fences alright so we might try that again. He's up (in the ratings) a bit over hurdles but he can go over hurdles as well. . Jumping helps him a bit, it gives him a little more pace. . He's entered next week but it might be a bit quick, he'll hardly go up much for that run.

Quotes on Soldante (IRE)

He has been consistent in his few runs. The ground was a factor for him and he got it today. It was a valuable 7lb off him there. Kevin started with us from pony camp and has worked his way up. He went to Simon Cavanagh and it’s lovely to be able to give him a winner. I’m very pleased with the horse. He did it lovely, jumped beautifully. He’s been a good servant and I’m very happy to win over fences with him. He’s had some lovely runs. Eoin Walsh was riding but he’s out of action at the moment unfortunately, otherwise he would have been riding him. He’s learned plenty and he jumped professionally today, so I’m very pleased with him.

Quotes on Bynx (IRE)

When I sold her to the boys (BTF Racing Club), I said we'd win a Flat race and a hurdle race and we also managed a chase in the middle, so now I have the triple crown!. She won a good hurdle race on bottomless ground here one New Year's Daym and is a great little mare. She loves it down here and both Paddy (Harnett) and I needed that winner. He gave her a peach of a ride. Fair play to Jamie Bergin, who is the head of the syndicate, as keeping 20 lads happy is never easy and he had been getting stick for her not winning on the Flat. The lads are all training for Drom & Inch (Tipperary) tonight and there's a match Friday night, so I said the hurling comes first. They are all good hurling men but other than that, they'd all be here.

Quotes on Cappa Hill (IRE)

He’s improving every day and hopefully there is another day in him. I’m thrilled with the way he jumped. He didn’t miss a beat bar the second last and I’d say it helped him because he would have been in front too soon. He’s only five so we’ll give him another bit of a break before he runs again. He likes a bit of nice ground. My brother Darragh owned a point-to-point winner today at Castletown Geoghegan as well, so it’s been a great day. We have six in training and hopefully they all have the potential to win races.

Quotes on Littlebiggie (IRE)

She was running well last winter but if she had been younger, I wouldn't have run her during the winter but it was just to get the experience into her. She had been buzzy and I won't say she was a handful but was just that little bit babyish. That ground, jumping out smartly like that and the trip were important to her. She doesn't quicken but has a good high tempo and is a nice one to have for the summer. You'd like to think she'll be a better mare over fences too as she jumps great. Liam (Quinlan) is in with me, so knows her and knows how to ride her, and Martin (Hogan, owner) is from right across the road.

Quotes on Typical Thomas (IRE)

It is nice to have one to come and race in the big race on a Sunday and it is brilliant to win,. . Mark said there was likely to be plenty of pace in the race so I said to him to bounce out and go with them. He has a tendency to jump left so Mark's plan was to get out to the outer. He made plenty use of his light weight. He was very lucky to win in Kilbeggan when he would have finished third or fourth only for two horses to fall and was then unlucky at Downpatrick when he jumped violently left at the second-last. It is great he got his day today. This season has went unbelievably well, this is our biggest win and the horses are running to their ability. We have 18 riding out and we're tipping away thank God. All winners help but the big winners will hopefully put us in the shop window. The phone will be fully charged so we'll see how things go.

Quotes on Grange Walk (IRE)

He fell a lot of days when he had races won and had a lot of hard luck, so deserved that. He is a good horse and was always going to win a hurdle off that mark,. He was once rated 145 over fences so would be different class to those.
