Quotes on Prophet's Corner (IRE)

That’s my first winner on the track, I’ve had 24 in point-to-points. He’s kind of a yard favourite. I suppose three miles is his thing and when you get into heavy ground that’s mainly his thing. He’s very good on heavy ground, he can go the same speed on soft as he can on hard. He’s one-paced, but stays going. We’ll try for another hurdle and see how that goes after today. He might have won too far, but we’ll take it. It’s our first winner so we’re not going to complain. Darragh is my brother so it’s a family success. It’s all in-house which keeps the costs down!. I just want to say a word about Mikey O’Sullivan. It’s an awful tragedy — there are no words for it.

Quotes on Dream In The Park (IRE)

forty years ago today, I trained my first winner with For Jon, with Michael Byrne riding him. It was at the old Greenpark racecourse so there have been a lot of changes since but we’re still at it and haven’t gone hungry yet!. Dream In The Park jumps well and was handicapped better over fences than over hurdles, so we decided to have a go at this. We schooled him at home the other day and jumped particularly well. That’s Calum’s first winner over fences and his 7lb claim is very valuable: he gave him a great ride. Conor (McNamara, son) had the pick but went for (stablemate) Cahirdown Boy who has been lucky for him in the past, but he made an early bad mistake, so his race was gone.

Quotes on Midweek Voices (IRE)

It’s great to win here today on a local day. He won the last day and he was well in at the weights today so we said we’d give him a go. Cian was patient on him. He jumped his way into it and came home well. He’s definitely improving, before he wasn’t finding much off the bridle but he seems to be staying at it a bit more now. His jumping is really getting slicker. Hopefully there is another good handicap in him, I’ll have to talk to Eddie (Walsh, owner). He still has a good mark over hurdles, but that’s why he couldn’t win over hurdles — his jumping is his forte. He said he was in his hands early but when he got in behind a few he switched off a bit. I think he would stay a bit further too.

Quotes on West Of Carrig (IRE)

There’s normally great support every day we go racing with uncles, aunts and everything, but of course he wins when nobody comes, only two brothers!. I’ll never beat the first day winning a point-to-point at home in Carrigtwohill (Cork) but this comes very close in fairness, it’s brilliant.

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 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 Clonmeen (IRE)

The horses were all sick for about six weeks and it’s great to see them back in form. That was tight for comfort, but it was a tough performance, and the main thing is he won. We might think about something like the National Trial back here.

Quotes on Baldur's Gate (IRE)

that was his first time over the trip although Rachael (Blackmore) was always telling me to go three miles. Rachael had been doing a great job and had the good sense to pull him up at Thurles when the ground was too quick but then I jocked her off! I’m delighted for James though who has been a good friend for years and gave him a great spin. I just felt that he needed the 7lb (claim) over the extended trip. we’ve always thought he was a nice horse and he just had a few niggly problems and our vet Amy Fitzgerald has done a lot of work with him. This horse is a real gent, I bought him off Aidan Fitzgerald, Tina Condon rides him out at home everyday and is a huge part of my team along with her daughter Ava. He’s a big boy so we’ll give a bit of time and pick something at Christmas.
