Hi Corbett Court 
He's a nice horse and did that well. He ran well the first day (at Navan) and my horses were out of sorts when he ran at Curragh. I didn't run any two-year-olds for a couple of weeks after that. Then he ran well over five (furlongs) in a well-contested race at Cork. We felt he fitted into this race nicely and he was better back up to six today. If I'm allowed, I'd like to run him in a 0-80 nursery at the Curragh on the 16th, but we'll see what the handicapper does. He's in the Goffs Million and the owners had a runner in it last year and enjoyed the whole experience, so I'd say that might be his ultimate target.

He's a nice horse and he had good form, and around here you need experience,. He probably needed to be a gelding, he wasn't a well-behaved colt. I'd say that operation has brought about improvement. When we gelded him, we had a few races that we thought might suit and this was the first of them. I think he's a horse that can continue to progress.

Trean 
He had a very good debut, I think he’s a very good horse,. Obviously the stable was just under a cloud around Ascot time, into the Irish Derby, and we just took back with the two-year-olds and gave them a chance. He had the option of coming here on Sunday for the auction series maiden but I said to Billy if he’s the horse I think he is he should be running tonight. He’s in the National Stakes, he’s in pretty much everything. I think Bayside Boy is a very good stallion and I think this is a very good horse.

Big Negotiator 
It was her sixth run so she is good and hardy. She was unlucky here the last day against the colts. She was pushed across the track. She went off 15/8 the other day and she was 20/1, I couldn't believe it, today. I thought it was nuts. She is a good, tough filly and I'm very happy for her. The other lady (Concorde Landed) looked a bit fresh. Billy said she was a bit fresh going to the start and I just thought she took a bad step there maybe a furlong down if you watch it back. She'll come on from it. Hard to beat the six runs.

She’s a nice filly. She’s won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and a Group Three now. She’s versatile. With Mr (Andre) Fabre she’d ran at nine furlongs twice. She’s just tough and I’d say she’s good too. She’s in the Prix Jean Romanet, she’s in the Yorkshire Oaks and she’s in the Prix Vermeille – she’s in everything.

She's a nice filly. She's won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and, a Group 3 now. She's versatile. With Mr. Fabre, she ran at nine furlongs twice. She's just tough and I'd say she's good, too. I liked the look of her form and we buy a lot of those fillies at that level. We can't afford, maybe, the better ones. Some of them win and some of them don't. I'd say she's just got ability. That's a good trip for her. She's not short of speed. When she won at a mile and a-half in Cork, the way she quickened, I knew a mile and two wasn't a problem. The other race just came up at a time in her training (Vintage Tipple Stakes at Gowran) when I thought it might suit to run her. We did that, but I doubt we'll be going back to 1m6f. She's in the Jean Romanet, she's in the Yorkshire Oaks, she's in the Vermeille. She's in everything. I ran her today because I kind of felt if I waited for the Give Thanks (at Cork in August), I'd be too close to all those races.
