Quotes on Affinity Rock (IRE)

She is 17.1hh, is a brilliant jumper and is very natural to jump. She will be a chaser, but we won't overrace her and will mind her and pick her races. Jack Lord rides her out every day and has done a great job settling her. My uncle (Noel Collins) bred her and won a point-to-point with her, and thankfully got a syndicate to buy her. She will be a nice mare for them. We might try for black-type somewhere during the summer and she will jump fences sooner rather than later.

Quotes on Crecora Hills (IRE)

It was a nice performance and a nice pot to win with her. She just seems to handle that ground well and it was nice to get another race with her. If we could find another mares chase like that it would be grand. For a few lengths before the last I thought we were in trouble, but she put it to bed very fast then. Around that trip is fine for her, I’d say, two-and-a-half or two-six.

Quotes on Born Bright (IRE)

It means the world to win with a homebred filly, and we’ve had this family for four or five generations. She was very unlucky at Limerick where she had a hard fall, and I think in Roscommon she was jumping big and slow and needed confidence. We freshened her up and thought she was in good form coming here today in her first handicap. She won her point-to-point and three miles is no problem to her. She missed a few down the back when they really started racing, but she’s tough and keeps galloping. She wants good ground, and we might bring her over to Perth if we have to.

Quotes on A Snow White Park (IRE)

It was a great ride and we've had great fun with the mare, as she runs well most days,. I don't give Danny any instructions, he does his own thing and he knows the mare. She wants top of the ground and gets lost when it goes soft. She loved it today and we'll see where we go now. There are mares' chases for her and she has the option of going back hurdling as well.

Quotes on Jolie Jewel (FR)

She had been highly strung but is calming down. She was very calm in the parade ring for her two previous runs, when she ran no race, and was calm again today, so I worried. Like always in order to get her settled, we dropped her in and they probably stopped in front. Sometimes when the pack goes no gallop, you can get lost out of her ground but other times you can come home looking like Arazi!. she had been awfully consistent all through the summer but paid the price for that consistency in that she stayed high in the handicap, although had come down a couple of pounds today. Thurles has the tightest ground you'll find at this time of year and it suits. We'll go to Leopardstown now at Christmas as her owner loves to have a runner there.

Quotes on Beauforts Storm (IRE)

She was 16/1 this morning, so it was some shock when the others (ahead of her in the betting) all came out. She probably wouldn't have won otherwise, but I think she'd have been in the money as she ran well here last week. She is a nice mare and will come back here for a Listed novice before Christmas. She is a good ground filly, is getting better with every run, and that will boost her confidence. Her year will be over once the ground gets too soft.

Quotes on Bynx (IRE)

When I sold her to the boys (BTF Racing Club), I said we'd win a Flat race and a hurdle race and we also managed a chase in the middle, so now I have the triple crown!. She won a good hurdle race on bottomless ground here one New Year's Daym and is a great little mare. She loves it down here and both Paddy (Harnett) and I needed that winner. He gave her a peach of a ride. Fair play to Jamie Bergin, who is the head of the syndicate, as keeping 20 lads happy is never easy and he had been getting stick for her not winning on the Flat. The lads are all training for Drom & Inch (Tipperary) tonight and there's a match Friday night, so I said the hurling comes first. They are all good hurling men but other than that, they'd all be here.

Quotes on Neon Diamond (IRE)

She had a couple of good runs but has been disappointing to be honest. It worked out today and it is great for Liam Clancy, her owner, who owns the Abbey Hotel and sponsors Donegal football. They have a big week ahead next week and it is a pity he couldn't be here today although his sisters are here, which is great.

Quotes on Slotty Dotty (IRE)

it’s a first horse for these owners so I’m after spoiling them, as they’ve won a point-to-point and now a race at Punchestown. She’s been consistent without getting her head in front but her run in Limerick I thought put her right in the picture today. She stays well and the extra few furlongs today was a big help to her and she will get three miles. She jumps well and can jump a fence in time.

Quotes on Ad Caelum (IRE)

She was very unlucky in this race last year, she had the race won and unseated at the last,. She’s a gorgeous mare. She hasn’t got going over fences yet, but she will. She’s going to make a smashing chaser. The dam is a half-sister to a Grade 1 winner (Spirit Of Adjisa). We bred her ourselves and she’s by the mighty Cloudings.

Quotes on Chosen Shant (IRE)

She’s a bit of fun. We got her last year, she hadn’t won anything, and she just likes our place,. She’s very happy at home. She loves her work but when we got her first she didn’t like it. After about two months she sweetened up. I’d love to have got her when she was a five-year-old, it’s near the end of her career but it’s fantastic to get a win no matter what. He said that was the best she’s felt when he’s rode her, that she travelled unbelievably well. That she was on the bridle nearly all the way. She’s carrying me up the gallop every day, no wonder she looked back at Phillip and saw nothing!. She could come back here at the end of October. We’ll probably go to Listowel. Tom Maher is probably going to breed from her. I’m not interested in breeding horses, I’m too old for that. By the time the foal would be four, I’d be on a Zimmer frame!. We enjoy every win and Wexford has been very good to us over the years. She’s won here four times now. The left-handed track definitely suits her. Any time we’ve ran her right-handed, anywhere sharp, she wouldn’t travel.

Quotes on Ladies Well (IRE)

We were hoping they'd go a good gallop as she stays going and she did that well. This is her grade and she is doing well at the moment. Cian Quirke and Philly Donovan are our regular jump riders but they both seem to get injured at the same time. We are very lucky to have Darragh (O'Keeffe) and Danny Gilligan as replacements, so we're never scarce for options. The syndicate is headed by former Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett, who previously had Mrs Crogh's Bar. They are a great group from Thurles, and include another Tipperary hurler Ger 'Redser' O'Grady.

Quotes on Shannon Bank (IRE)

I'm delighted for his owner Tom Mulvey as we have right craic over how I got to train this horse. I previously trained a horse called Luker's Tipple for a group of lads who drink with Tom in Luker's Pub in Shannonbridge. When the lads were moving my horse to Gavin Cromwell, Tom - without even knowing me - said 'what's this lad Kinirons' number?', and moved this mare from Gavin's to me!. Tom is a sound man, but unfortunately couldn't make it down today. In fairness, this mare had some good form in bumpers before I got her. We tricked away with her at home, and she took a bit of organising but we had this race planned and she had a nice run over fences the last day. She has come into herself. She is a game mare, but I had a bit of convincing to get Sean (O'Keeffe) off last year's winner (and today's runner-up Patty O'Farrell) to ride this mare, but he listened thank God and gave her a great ride.

Quotes on Miss Lia (IRE)

That's Tiernan's first winner as a fully-fledged conditional. I asked him to come work for me a couple of months ago and he said he would at the end of the point-to-point season. He is a very nice guy and has so much experience over hurdles and fences.  . We'd a lot of handicap winners last season and I felt that unless I got somebody with a bit of experience and with a claim, that I was going to struggle big time. I'm really lucky that I have Tiernan and Conor (Owens). Conor is flying but wouldn't have the experience of Tiernan to ride over a fence yet. I think between the two of them I have a very good team of claimers and I'd be hoping that one will grow with the other. They are a big asset to me. . This is David's first horse with me. He is an amazing owner and huge supporter of Irish jumps racing, he puts a huge amount in. It's great to have a winner in his colours and I'm really pleased.
