Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Jeroboam Machin (FR)

He's a nice horse and he definitely saves his best for the track. Watching him working the last few weeks wouldn't inspire anyone. I said after his first bumper that he doesn't show much at home but anytime we bring him away he lights up. I don't mind what he does at home once he saves his best for the track.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Zambezi Moon (IRE)

He had been doing it at home but not in his point-to-points. It was brave to come here on his form but Darragh Allen rode him in work last week and said he won't be out of the first three, and he was right. It was a pity he couldn't ride him, as he had done everything with him, but is in Fairyhouse today. Cal gave him a might ride and I'm delighted to get it. He'll have a summer campaign now as he likes that ground and the owners, who are local in Rathcormac, are with me for years so I'm delighted for them.
