Quotes on Voice Of Reason (IRE)

I haven't had too many runners now, in fairness!. My son Michael got him in a claiming hurdle in Clonmel during the summer. We bought him as a hurdler and we had him at home a few days and we said this isn't a hurdler, this is a Flat horse. He had a good run here and then on his last run he kind of got stopped, he didn't get a clear run and he's a lad you have to keep him going once you get him going. Seamie Heffernan, what can I say?. I'm farming at home and we have four (horses) in at the moment. We only took out the Flat licence since we got this horse. We are bitten by the bug now on the Flat! We'll keep him going.

Quotes on Beauparc (IRE)

When she’s right, she’s a nice filly. The last (day) she ran disappointingly. I thought she might be in season, but we found nothing wrong. Maybe the track in Sligo just didn’t suit her and they maybe just over watered the ground. She’s done her job today anyway, that’s three she’s won now. She’ll probably be rated in the 80s now. The lads would like to go to Galway so that’ll probably be the next stop. She probably won’t run before that and she seems to run better fresh. She might take her chance in the mile and a-half premier handicap there.

Quotes on Daonethatgotaway (GB)

I’m delighted Reese was able to ride a (first) winner for me, as he is apprenticed to me but has ridden winners for plenty others. That's his first double and he gave that horse a great ride, and knows him inside out. The owners (Up The Blues Syndicate) are a great bunch of lads and they love it. We have been unlucky with him, though, so the horse deserves it more than anything else. We were finishing second and third, and second and third, and had a few hard luck stories. Every time he was finishing placed, he was getting raised a pound or two so we said we would try something different and tried him over a mile and a-quarter the last day. He is versatile, but that is his grade. He has won on soft ground as well, so we don't know where we are going to go. As long as he stays running like that, we'll stay going. As long as he stays enjoying it, we will stay going. If he tells us that he has enough, we will pull the plug and give him a break and freshen him up and come again.

Quotes on Sir Callisto (IRE)

Nice horse. He got a bad fall this time last year in Navan on his first run. It was a good run the last day, he was only beaten a length and a-half (in fourth). There was always going to be one like that on the door, it could easily have gone the opposite way in Gerry's (Keane, Theophilos) way tonight. That's the level he is at and that is where he is. It is great that he won for that man (Seamus Ross), he's had a terrible run of luck. Some nice horses and he looked a nice horse and got a bad fall. Hopefully, he might pick up from where we were at. It is lovely to get a bracket for the horse and the man (Ross).

Quotes on Pearl Jewel (IRE)

She has (stayed the 1m4f well) and she has been very consistent. She has been running well in defeat, so it is nice to see her get her head in front. He (Carroll) said she was maybe getting a little bit lonely, but he felt nothing was going to get past her. I'd be keen to maybe leave her alone now until January, give her a bit of break. She deserves a break at this stage. We will reassess in January. She kind of had a few health issues during the summer, she was scoping wrong and stuff. They (owners) have had to be patient, but I'm delighted for them and the filly. They both deserve it.

Quotes on Church Mountain (IRE)

you'd call 18 a bad draw but not with him as he doesn't like traffic around him. If he is drawn low and misses the break, it is hard to get him going. He had won twice in Galway and hopefully will go back there. Dan (King) is super value off those weight but I don't like him doing light as he is a big lad now and is going jumping. He has finished school and with me full time for the summer and has already had hurdle rides. He is a great lad and a super worker.

Quotes on Tassarolo (GB)

Gavin gave Tassarolo a very good ride and while he has only ridden a few horses for us, he had won a maiden hurdle on this horse and is a talented young rider. Gavin rode Tassarolo the last day and knew him, so we kept riding arrangements the same. It was a great result for me and while it was hard luck on the owners (Final Reminder Syndicate) of the runner-up, both horses ran well. The two horses are very similar and there were a lot of people asking me ‘which one?’ today, but they are similarly rated and really I couldn’t split them. Both were going up in trip but it was just which one would see it out better, and the winner did. Tassarolo is owned by our local publican (in the Full Of Hope Syndicate) and unfortunately one of the members John O’Shea passed away the day the horse won his maiden hurdle. He has a rating of 62 on the Flat so can go back to there too so there are options with him.
