Quotes on Rocky's Diamond (IRE)

That was brilliant, it was some round of jumping to be fair. I was a bit worried beforehand that he had been very exuberant at home, standing off outside the wings. I was saying ‘if he gets one of these wrong, it’s not going to be good’. I’d say when he’s going on in a race, going faster, he does know what he’s doing even though he’s very exuberant. He’s a very good jumper. Michael had done a good bit of schooling on him, he knows when you see a long one on him just to go for it. I didn’t really want to go to Listowel as the fences are a little bit bigger and they are trappier. I wanted to get that out of the way, so we can afford to sit back and chill now a little and see where we go. We’ll probably look for a graded race somewhere. The Florida Pearl at Punchestown at the end of November is three miles - we’ll see. He’s only in nine weeks as well, which is a fair trial of him. He only came in on the first of July. He’s only tipping away, but he has a lot of natural ability - he’s a very good horse. It’s unreal to have a horse like him, I’m just pinching myself every day. It’s great.

Quotes on Boston Rover (IRE)

He is a nice horse, is going the right way and we are learning about him the whole time. When he gets to the front, he just does what he has to do but Jack was good on him and just went through the motions until going down to the last. He said he won snugly at the line and I'd say he will handle softer ground. Derek (Barry, owner) is from Straffan and trained but said he got to the stage where he couldn't get staff to ride the horses. He sent us down a couple of horses and is a big supporter of the yard, so it is great to see him get winners.

Quotes on Yoradreamer (GB)

He's been very consistent. The owner, Mr Brookhouse, has been very patient. Sean Cleary-Farrell is obviously on a roll as well, so he did everything right. We always love having winners up here.

Quotes on Pride Of Place (IRE)

Charlie knows him well, won on him last year in Tipperary and the horse had a nice blow out in the charity race at Punchestown last week, where he was ridden by Kate O'Leary, who works with us. He jumped well and loves that trip. He'll probably get eight or 10 pounds for winning today but Charlie takes 5lb off, which helps. . Charlie is with me every Monday and it was a clever ride today, as he did everything that was asked of him.

Quotes on Will Do (IRE)

He jumped great apart from missing one down the back the last time. I was delighted to see something going on after a few hurdles just to give him a bit of a lead. He's a nice horse and he'll probably be better suited by a more galloping track. He was just ready to start off and Jack said there's plenty of improvement in him. He's a chaser down the road, he has a good attitude and is very relaxed. Anything from 2m6f to three miles should suit him and he'll probably step up to Listed or Graded company now.

Quotes on A Penny A Hundred (FR)

She was better on the track than she has been at home. She's bred by my mother, we sent a few of our mares over to France as a bit of an experiment so she's a French-bred. I think Jukebox Jury is going to be a fantastic sire, we've plenty of well-bred horses by him and My Great Mate who won in Galway is one of his as well. She has a pedigree with lots of stamina and I'd imagine she'll be able to go up in trip over hurdles.

Quotes on Where's My Jet (IRE)

He didn't get home in Galway but went to the start very fresh and we thought he was a much better horse than that. He won nicely in Killarney though and today beat Willie's other horse who is no slouch. I was happy that I was able to get a few lengths away from the others and his jumping was making ground, rather than me using petrol to do it. That is always a help when it comes to the business end and it was a good performance.

Quotes on Bartlemy Boy (GB)

It has been a long year with him and while he won a couple of point-to-points, things didn't go his way in the hunter chases. He was off the bridle with a circuit to go today so yer man gave him a super ride. He had unseated early on at Killarney in May so possibly had a break, and it is great to win with him in Listowel. I might be dreaming, but there is a handicap chase at Roscommon for him if he gets a handicap mark, so we'll see how he comes out of this. For a big horse he likes good ground. We hadn't a bad year in general as he won two point-to-points and I won with another one as well. I only have three or four horses, so it is easy enough to keep us happy!

Quotes on Kings Hill (IRE)

He is a good horse, but didn't get the rub of the green for a while and he had surgery on a kissing spine. Since he started jumping fences, he is a different horse and he is entitled to win today's race with his run in the Supreme (Novices Hurdle of 2024). He will be better on better ground and his time of year is coming, so we'll place him as we go by. I would have loved him to go to Cheltenham, but one of his owners preferred to stay home with him and, with the slow year we've had, the horses are only coming back to form now. We're better off to get a winner here. Jack is at home with us three days a week, is now with Oliver McKiernan and other local trainers, but it is hard for these guys who are attached to small yards.

Quotes on Me Wee Bonnie Lass (IRE)

There was loads of pace and she was flat to the boards early on but she got into a great rhythm,. Bar missing one down the back she jumped really well and stayed on really well. She’s a game little filly. I’ve won this race a couple of times and it’s a nice race to win.

Quotes on Warriors Wood (GB)

He is a gorgeous horse with a great attitude and does things really well. He travels nicely, settles and jumps well. Darragh was good and positive on him, that suits him, and he has won on both rides on the horse now. He has won twice now and will go up for winning today, but we'll try to find something similar again. It won't get any easier, but going up in trip might help him out too. The owner Sean McElroy isn't here today as it was a five-hour drive from where he lives. He is a good man and has a couple of horses in the yard.

Quotes on Ambitious Fellow (IRE)

Sam made a good move to nip up the inner before coming down the hill and it could have been the winning and losing of it. It was a brave move but it worked out great for him,. He lost his form a little bit but had an issue after he ran at Limerick last year and it took him a while to get back right. He had a lovely run the last day when he was completely wrong at the weights, but it gave him confidence coming here. I was worried about the ground but it worked out great. Tthere are four involved in the OGB Partnership including Ber (wife) and after he won a bumper we brought him to the sales but couldn't get anyone to buy him. We brought him home and he has now won at the Punchestown festival and has landed a big pot today. We had four winners last year, we've had good old craic again and it has been brilliant.

Quotes on Rocky's Howya (IRE)

I thought he'd run well going to Wexford the last day when he was in against nice novices, but it is just funny the way the 'levels' work. He was rated nicely for that Wexford race but couldn't compete and was dropping back down today. A big effort goes in at home in keeping him right, he goes swimming and has been kept sweet. He is hard to place as he is old and rated high enough, but there are a couple of races coming up for him.

Quotes on Tonaghneave Well (IRE)

Great for the owner Paul Kelly, he's from not too far from here so it is nice for him to have a local winner. Paddy works hard and is getting his chances now and he is taking them. He gave him a good ride claiming the 7lb and he is great value for it, and he is riding well. He is spreading his wings a bit now, but he has been with us for a few years now and he is a good lad. We were disappointed with it (last run) and couldn't out our finger on a reason for it. I actually just had to take my time with him after that. He has come here good form today and I expected him to run well. He surprised me now the way he stayed on.

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 Goody Four Shoes (IRE)

He was great. We thought the last day here (fell four out) we were definitely going to be there or thereabouts. He hadn't moved and he was well in it. We were very disappointed because we felt like we were going to be contenders. It was great that this race was coming up a few weeks later, there was a lovely time between the two to let him recover and come back and see whether we were right or wrong. We have been vindicated. It was a terrific battle and he's never had to do that before. He's had very little racing, he's a relatively inexperienced horse for his age. He's a big horse who took a lot of time and it is brilliant.

Quotes on Harbour Highway (IRE)

He had a nice run here at this meeting last year, in a maiden hurdle, and I’d say he’s just improved for a bit of nicer ground,. It was nice to see him get his head in front. He’s been a frustrating horse since his bumper win. Hopefully we can go forward. I think he’s a horse that appreciates a bit of nicer ground. Hopefully we’ve got him on the right track now. It was a lovely ride by Alan, he rode him with plenty of confidence. It was lovely to see and keeps everyone happy and confident going into next week.

Quotes on Dorking Cock (IRE)

I've always thought a bit of him. We bought him as a hunter chaser but nothing ever worked out. The day I bought him in Doncaster I thought he was a horse for either a Welsh National or a Foxhunters. Due to covid he was late to get going and after running so well so well at Down Royal on Boxing Day - when narrowly touched off by Vaucelet, I set my stall out to go to Cheltenham but he wasn't the same horse last spring. He's back to his normal self again and for the age of him (nine-year-old) he's not overly raced. The hunter chase scene at the moment is very hot and I thought he was well treated for a handicap. I have him in the Welsh National and I'd say we'll probably try and aim for that. He has jumped well around the (Aintree) national fences but he'd need a wet spring and to climb up in the weights to get into a National. He's a far better jumper of a fence than a hurdle but it's good to get on the winning groove today.

Quotes on Smallcraftwarning (IRE)

I should have had a double as I was frustrated by Gaelic Arc's ride and Zolpharine was also a bit unlucky. This horse is what he is but he did a job today. There is every kind of a breed involved in this syndicate - there are accountants, farmers and every kind, and they're all young. They are a real breath of fresh air around my place and Aidan O'Sullivan and Jack Broderick are two right good guys who head the syndicate.
