Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Dragon Of Malta (IRE)

He had won well at Galway and, while he didn't run so well at Roscommon, today he was perfect and I had a willing partner up the straight. I had previously ridden Free Solo at the Curragh, he led me and I found a nice run in the straight. I wasn't sure if we had won and Daniel King (denied in a close third on Brave Troop) has a valuable claim and I wasn't sure if he got up on the line. The O'Donnell family are from Co Limerick and not too far from here and I've known them for years, so it is great to ride a winner for them. Thank you to Pat Healy (Listowel committee) and Mark Enright (retired jockey) for organising this and it is great to be here. I spent lots of time as a child hanging around the weigh room wanting to be a jockey and to ride a winner here is a big relief. My mother (from nearby Killarney) is very excited and I'm sure she enjoyed this one!. Unfortunately I have other business commitments today and am at the Sales, but this is brilliant. The horse had good form and Mark (Enright, retired jockey) contacted me to say Oisin was available, so it was a no brainer to use him. I said to my wife that he was beaten turning in, but these good riders just find a way to win and he was fantastic. Oisin and my son Patrick go back a long way from when they went pony racing together, are friends and were also apprenticed together. The horse is owned by a great syndicate and this means an awful lot.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Little Empire (IRE)

Absolutely delighted with him. We had two bad days in York this year and the owner stuck by him. I knew we had a good horse on our hands. He's entered here for six furlongs on Wednesday and he probably will go for it. The penalty will bring him well into the handicap. It was (a competitive race) and I've to thank Luke McAteer who told me the last time to put Patrick on him to claim the 7lb off, and that that would be massive (for him). He'll probably get on him again on Wednesday. No, absolutely not (winning out of turn) - his form has been pretty solid. Probably my own fault for running him over the mile, I thought he would stay that being a Holy Roman Emperor, but he just showed there tonight that he has bundles of speed. We have to take our hats off to the young lad who rode him, Tommie Jakes, who was buried today. Tommie rode a double for me that night in April of last year (at Wolverhampton). We'd like to dedicate this win to young Tommie.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on I Bid You Ajou (FR)

He jumped well and was where I wanted to be. I got a gap after coming around the bend and he quickened up well. It was some buzz!. I'm from Abbeyfeale, County Limerick and my father always had mares and a few horses at home. Joe is with me about six months. He rides well, is a good worker and I'm hoping he can kick on from here and get some outside rides as he deserves it. He's good value for his 10lb claim and was very good on the horse there today. Shane Foley told us after riding him in the Curragh to get him around a bend and let him roll.

Quotes on Apache Outlaw (IRE)

The other horse, Current Option, is a very good horse and he owes us nothing. Apache Outlaw is on the way up. The other horse's best days are behind him, but he is still well able to compete in good races. I think he (Apache Outlaw) is a smart horse and he is going to go on a break now. We might want another run if we want to go to the All-Weather Finals, but we will look at that type of a target for him. It will be Newcastle - more money in Newcastle!. Ronnie is a top-class rider and he has been very lucky for me.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Aurora Nova (IRE)

she's a good, genuine filly who is too hard on herself on occasions and can work herself up, but is very honest. She's not great to break and the last day up the Curragh there was about 23 runners and she broke last but was only beaten two lengths. She didn't break too badly today and I'd say small fields probably suit her as well. She picked the right day to win as it was a good pot (€14,400 first prize) and we’ll definitely keep her going over the summer. She has won well there, so I'd imagine she will get a nice few pounds for that, so she might be a bit hard to place. The way she won there, we could chance getting black-type with her: that might be aiming a little high, but we might give it a go.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Mickey The Steel (GB)

The run at Bellewstown has really brought him on as we gave him a break over the summer as he doesn't like the hard ground. Bellewstown brought him on and he is back in good form. We just thought the rain might not have come for us, but enough came - it is yielding. This race was the plan after Bellewstown, he won this race two years ago. Rory gave him a great ride up the inside and he did it well. He might run the last day in the Curragh.
