Quotes on Disco Dancer (IRE)

Danny gave her a lovely ride and dictated from the front. He quickened at the right time and got a good jump over the last. I'd say the jump over the last made the difference. She's great, that’s job done and you can't complain. I'd imagine something like the mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival could be next.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Theflyingbee (IRE)

If she turned up in the form that she finished Navan in the last time (runner-up in December), I'd give her a fair chance. I didn't know how she would handle here. She will probably get further. She will go on better ground or heavier ground, she is very adaptable like that. The plan all along was the two Flat runs, so it worked out. Credit to everyone here, it is some track.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Cleopatra's Needle (IRE)

I just thought I'd keep it simple, I got all the gaps and it worked. It's a big deal (to get the win) and I'm a bit shocked to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. I'm 23 and from north Co. Dublin. I'm with Dermot McLoughlin, Gavin Cromwell, Bill Durkan and Henry de Bromhead. I do bits and pieces everywhere. I try to spread myself around and it's working well. My agent Gary Cribbin got me on this lad and got me a nice ride tomorrow (Lord Erskine in the Galway Hurdle), so he's doing a marvellous job and I can't thank him enough. I never sat on this mare before today to be honest, but speaking to Kieren Buckley, Sean Flanagan and Harry Rogers, they filled me with loads of confidence, so I was happy to take the chance and it worked. The people that own her (the Nap Racing Syndicate) love coming here and it’s great to have a winner here. She’s not a bad filly. That's the first time that young chap has ridden for me. Gary Cribbin, his agent, put him on to me and you couldn't ask for any better. I honestly thought she had a great chance but I thought the ground might be gone on her, I thought it was gone a little bit on the slow side. In fairness she did it well, I don't know whether she'd go on any softer than that but she's done it.

Quotes on Eastern Wind (GB)

She was getting the hang of it as she went on and jumped slick over the last couple. Darragh said the quicker they went, the better she jumped. She probably idled a bit in front going up to the line. She goes on any kind of ground, and we’ll have plenty of fun with her over the summer. She’ll mix it with Flat and hurdles. It was great to win over a mile and a half (in Bellewstown) the last day which opens up more options for her.
