Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ndaawi (GB)

We have won most of the big handicaps so this is the race I wanted to win, although it is not a nice way to win. The stewards have their jobs to do, and Jack said he'd get it straightaway after the race. I was talking to Ruby (Walsh) as well and he felt we would definitely get it. The Earls are big supporters of mine, we go back to Day Dot nearly and my first Cheltenham winner Chicago Grey was for Michael(Earls)’s brother so it is great. Noel (Meade) is one of my greatest friends and there isn't a day goes by that we don't talk and we have great banter but that's the way it goes unfortunately. There is a 150,000 dollar Flat race in America for him in October now. It is unbelievable to win the two big races here this week and the horses have all run well. I can't believe it.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Absurde (FR)

I thought I’d have the pace of them all on his Flat form, but the ground was a big worry. Paul can’t have a warm bone in his body, he was so cold the whole way and delivered him at the right time. He just missed the last but everything else went right. I was very worried about the ground, that’s why I thought Risk Belle was the best of my squad, I’d more or less drawn a line through him. They went very slow and his Flat speed was a big factor at the end. When I saw where he was early on I thought it wasn’t the place to be, but they were doing 18-second furlongs so I thought he might have a chance. He had to find his way through and while he missed the last, it was one hell of a ride, it was the ride of the week for me. He’ll probably go to Punchestown and then back on the Flat I’d have thought. It might be hard to qualify for Melbourne – I’d like to go though.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Bowensonfire (FR)

He’s a bit of a monkey. You don’t even give Jack instructions going out, just do what you want, drop him in and get him in every bit of trouble you can. Maybe getting his head in front the last day helped. I thought he might be badly handicapped in that ground but it’s great to win. It’s great that the lads are here. Dave (Page) and his brother and a few of them own this fella. Dave is with me a couple of years, and they are big supporters of Cullentra. We’ve had good days and bad days, but they stick with me. Without these lads you can’t do it. They travel over from the UK to see their horses when they can, they don’t get enough credit these men.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Karbau (FR)

That was a nice performance. He learned a lot from the first day and put it to good use,. He was taking about half-a-length out of most of them (at his hurdles). I’m very pleased with him. He’s in the Supreme Novices’ and Turners. He’s a forward-going type and he likes to race and jump. . If he finds a bit of improvement, he’s right up there. I’d be happy enough that he’s a good calibre horse. He loved that ground. . Zillow ran well in third, I’d say he’s more of a spring ground horse.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Hello Neighbour (IRE)

I’m just thrilled to win a Grade 1. I haven’t won a Grade 1 in Ireland for over four years, that’s just the nature of how competitive it is here. He’s a proper one. I brought him along slowly and he’s answered every call, hopefully he’ll improve again. We’ve always liked and he’s progressive. I was very pushy to get someone to buy him and thankfully Paddy and Yvonne (Sheanon) did. Fair play to Paddy (Sheanon, owner) he was brave and put the money out, he’s getting rewarded. He was still a little bit keen, but I think he’s going to learn every day. He’s a straightforward horse, but he just wants to get on with it - he’ll be fine. The more he does, the more he’ll improve.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Murcia (FR)

I wouldn’t be worried if I was Dan, he seems to have the thing fairly solid at the moment. I can’t see us winning it unless we win the Grand National and Dan has a complete flop, which doesn’t happen. We had an extraordinary year last year and we’re a lot more behind this year.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Helvic Dream (IRE)

Colin said he was going to sit a bit closer and have one go at him (Broome). He felt he went too soon for him the last day and he felt he did again today. He has an electrifying turn of speed but lasted it out. It was a brilliant ride. He’s been a pleasure to train and doesn’t take a lot of work. There have been plenty of people interesting in buying him but thankfully the owners have kept faith in me as I felt he could win a Group One. I’ve had a number of horses placed in Guineas, and a fourth in the Epsom Derby, but that is my first Group One. I can die happy now!. They are so easy to train compared to jumpers. I’m always joking with Flat trainers that they are getting away with murder. You don’t have to train Flat horses to stay or to jump and there is not nearly as many injuries. I’ve always said that Sheikh Mohammed should have sent Willie (Mullins) 200 horses years ago and got him out of the way!. I was afraid to even dream about it (winning a Group 1). I’m thrilled and it means a lot.

Quotes on Sixandahalf (IRE)

She jumped really well and you couldn’t ask for better. I’m not sure where we go from here. She’s not very big but she has an engine, a great attitude and jumps well. Hopefully she’ll end up going to the mares novice (at Cheltenham) ultimately.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Balko D'ange (FR)

His best form is on soft to heavy ground. Mind you, it is no worse than soft today. I was delighted the way he travelled, and he jumped well. He did (Hayes produced him well) - he's probably a horse that doesn't find an awful lot. You think he (Hayes) has lots of horse underneath him and he was all out probably at the finish. I think Brian timed it right. I'd say around Christmas time (next). I had him in at Haydock next Saturday and obviously he won't go. Our preference was here because we were guaranteed slow ground. The ground was a bit too dry in Down Royal, but he had a good run in Tipperary on ground that was a little bit too dry for him as well. Ground is the key to him.
