Quotes on One Horse Army (IRE)

It’s grand that he’s won again. He stays and he jumps. We’ll keep going with him now and find something similar if we can. He’s still a novice. We’ll see what the handicapper gives him now. He wants soft ground and a staying trip.

Quotes on Riggs (IRE)

he has had a few problems. It took us a while to find them but we found them eventually, and he seems a different horse. He is a little bit of a monkey in his own way but has just turned a corner. He is a stayer and he doesn't have much of a turn of foot. We have no immediate plan, but if he had run well today, we might look at the Connacht National or maybe the Midlands National.

Quotes on Favori Logique (FR)

He is living outside. He was a very worried and stressy horse when he was younger and he is happier, I suppose you can do that (live outside) at this time of year. It has totally changed his mind. Every run has got better with confidence, that was his best run today. He did everything really easy. He is rated 94 over fences so we will have to look at that. There's a Sligo meeting in two weeks time. We were scratching our head with him at one stage but we tweaked a few things and living outside he just seems happier. It just goes to show when a horse clicks. Shane said he knew he was going to win everywhere, he said four out he was hoping he wasn't going to get there too soon. Shane works for Ted (Walsh) and Ted is mad about him. He is getting better all the time and improving. He is getting confidence all the time and the horse is getting confidence all the time, and it is working well together.

Quotes on Tell Nobody Nothin (IRE)

He’s been threatening to do that for a while. I don’t know what to make of him, maybe that’s his trip. When you’d run him over two-and-a-half(miles), it looked like he wanted three but, when you run him over three, he looked like he wanted two-and-a-half. He’s been disappointing. The race kind of fell apart in front of him which was a help, but he did find plenty today which was strange. Maybe he’ll come good for us now. His mother was a good mare and he’s a gorgeous-looking horse.

Quotes on Mount Shenshan (IRE)

Charlie is a big fella so lucky to be riding at all due to his weight. When I got him to win his first bumper I thought that was my job done, as I thought he wouldn't be riding any further but he was bitten by the bug and keeps at it. Charlie likes hurling, plays indoor soccer and works hard at his weight. He gave that horse an exceptional ride as he took his time on her. She had a great run the last day when only beaten 14 lengths by Maughreen so we were hopeful coming back to a handicap, with the 7lb claim. She is well-bred, is out of a half-sister to Our Vic, is a very nice looking mare so I'm glad to get the winning bracket with her. The horses are going well and this mare could stretch to three miles.

Quotes on North Of Nashville (IRE)

I'm delighted for Leo McArdle who is from Castleblayney in Monaghan. He didn't travel down tonight but he has been really patient with her. He is a good, loyal owner and I'm delighted for him as he stuck by her. It was her first handicap chase tonight. She won a point-to-point well on debut and we thought that she was going to be a good lot smarter. She was second in a maiden hurdle but for some reason or another it just hasn't panned out the way we thought it would. She always threatened to do what she done this evening, but we don't have any reason why it's after taking so long. Thankfully she got her act together. Her dam was a good race mare and won eight times. She was an impressive winner of her point-to-point and Colin said he'd hold on to her, as he likes to race the odd good mare and that's what we thought she was going to be. Up until today she has been disappointing. It was a low grade race and in fairness the handicapper had given her a chance. There is no fancy plans, we will just try win another race with her. Maybe she will go back over hurdles and try to exploit her hurdles mark. She is rated something similar over hurdles but is probably a better chaser than she'll ever be a hurdler.

Quotes on Hit The Frame (GB)

He deserved that. He ran a cracker in Roscommon and ran a good race the last day where we probably didn't make enough use of him. I said to Sean today to just use his jumping and his jumping won it for him. I was very worried half an hour ago when the fences were taken out of the previous race, that wouldn't of suited us at all, but thankfully they came back in. Liam Quinlan gave him a great ride in Roscommon and that was his first sort of good run. He tried to make all that day too. He is just a very, very good jumper when he gets into that rhythm. I was watching the races and there was horses behind making lots of mistakes, he just puts them under pressure. I ran him today after last week because there is not another race for him for about another five weeks, a three-mile plus race. We just said we'd chance running him and see what happens and thankfully it worked out. The owners are local to me in Tramore and there is a couple of Portlaw men involved too.

Quotes on Plain Or Battered (IRE)

That's Conor's fifth winner. He started with me just over a year ago and started with no experience. For the chances he is getting his strike rate has been extremely good. He is good value for his claim and this horse is an ideal one for him to ride as he has plenty of experience,. I got him off the Dooly's and Noel is still involved with him. The Dooly's are fabulous people and they gave me the opportunity to buy three horses and I'm really pleased to have them. They are great friends and are lovely people, so I can't say enough thanks to Noel and Jenny Dooly, they are very good to me. He is a winter horse and we have winter ground today. I believe it's summer heavy today and so did Paul Townend and a lot of the senior jockeys, yet the board inside still says soft, yielding in places. The same clerk of the course (Paul Moloney) gave good to yielding in Kilbeggan last night, whereas all the senior jockeys said good, no yielding. There is a huge discrepancies. How are they seeing it as slower than the riders last night and quicker than the riders today. The discrepancy is too big and it doesn't make sense. I'm delighted because my horse is a winter horse and he got heavy ground today. Liz Doyle told me this morning it would be proper soft and she was right. He'll probably get a break now and come back in the winter to go over fences.
