Quotes on La Tache (IRE)

He's slow out of the gates. Colin says he's never going to be any other way. That's who he is. We even bounced him, which I'd never do at home, since his last run. He's just so laid back. He's not a five-furlong horse. He's going to be a grand horse for Philip and Norma Richards. Another horse Keri has bought for them, so another sprinter to look forward to. It's just taken a while for the penny to drop with him. I'm delighted with the filly (Southern Boulevard, third), she's after running a blinder. She ran away with Gary going to the start in Naas, so we put a different bit on her and we put earplugs in her. I'm gobsmacked to see that she did what she did and stayed going. She's going to develop into a nice horse, that filly.

Quotes on Equus Victor (IRE)

I gave a few quid for Equus Victor - £90k. He's a grand horse. I must say I really like him and always have. I ran him on the first day of the Flat season, brought him home and gelded him and gave him a bit of time. Dylan Browne McMonagle then rode him in Dundalk and said that a cut in the ground over seven-furlongs would suit. I'm delighted for the gang (owner Karl Kirwan) because they are with me all the way.

Quotes on Lars Soldier (IRE)

He said he lost his iron about a furlong down and he was well balanced; it is all about balance. We'll probably be trying to go for the Birdcatcher (Naas) now to get the bonus if you win it (€20,000 bonus as a winner of a qualifying nursery handicap). He's a competitive little horse and, at the end of the day, he was entitled to take his chance. He has been knocking on the door, and we tried him over seven (furlongs), but the opposition we were running against was very high. We came back into a nursery there and he is very competitive. Wesley is very competitive on light weights and for the size of him, he is very strong. I think he only has one or two (winners) left on his apprenticeship. He's well capable.

Quotes on Pink Venom (IRE)

I did fancy her. I thought she ran very well in Naas (behind Timeless Tale) and I think that was a very good maiden,. It looked like an ideal race for her today. Ben said it was a nice set-up, good pace. She settled well and hit the line well. She still has to strengthen up a little bit, physically. She’s a pretty decent filly, I think, and I’d be expecting her to improve nicely. The runner-up (stablemate Prince of Peppard) is a nice horse too, the little fella, he’s only getting it together. Again, it was an ideal set-up today as they went fast. Ben said the last day, he didn’t really get going. The two of them ran great and we’re delighted.

Quotes on Roeillaun (IRE)

I think she has been a bit unlucky. The last day (Naas), she was drawn on the wrong side and had to do all the racing on her own. I think if she had been on the right side, she would have been okay. The same thing at the Curragh the time before. She's probably unfortunate to be a maiden until now. She's a nice filly and she's in the 'Million' and that other race in Naas, so we'll see where we go. We possibly might have a rattle at money, we have paid the money and we might go. He (Keane) said he cruised the last half furlong.
