Quotes on Firefox (IRE)

In fairness, he had been competing at the top end the whole time but (that was) a good performance. I thought Jack gave him a very, very good ride and just landed him there at the right time. Nice to win. He’s a good horse, but the problem is you are always taking on those really good horses the whole time.

Quotes on Better Days Ahead (IRE)

Better Days Ahead wasn't doing a stroke in front. It wasn't ideal, he needs something to make it. Jordan (Gainford on Three Card Brag) took him along for as long as he could and probably ran a good race in his own right. I was thrilled with Stellar Story. He keeps guessing at his fences and I told Danny (Gilligan) to try and get him around and try to get a bit of confidence into him. He gave him a brilliant ride - probably a bit unlucky. Number one, we had to try and get him around. I'd imagine Brown Advisory for Better Days Ahead and Stellar Story could go Brown Advisory as well. Three Card Brag needed that run to qualify for the Aintree Grand National.

Quotes on Search For Glory (IRE)

he’s a big galloping horse and will go jumping hurdles now. It was a bonus to go for a bumper. It’s been a good day.

Quotes on Croke Park (IRE)

He’s been busy enough and probably doesn’t need to run again before Cheltenham. I don’t think he wants real winter heavy ground. He maybe didn’t jump as well as he did the last day. Sam (Ewing) said he slipped going into the first. The second horse didn’t lose much in defeat either, probably more of a test will suit him. He was well up after the line. Even when he won the Martin Pipe in Cheltenham he looked like a real stayer. As he’s named, there will be Better Days Ahead.

Quotes on Intense Raffles (FR)

It's easy to get carried away in a three-runner race where it kind of suited us as well. Tony's horse (Mullins, Good Time Jonny, third) is probably much better dropped out in a big field and Henry's mare (de Bromhead, Brampton Belle) hasn't been in great form anyway. If we didn't win it we would have been very disappointed but, at the same time, we couldn't have been happier with the way he did it.

Quotes on The Wallpark (IRE)

He has his own way of doing it, but has an engine and is a grand honest horse. Jack said if they had gone faster it would have suited better, as he didn't like being in front. He definitely wants three miles and we'll go to Cheltenham for a Pertemps Qualifier in October now. He's a good horse and will go chasing next year.

Quotes on Perceval Legallois (FR)

You wouldn’t think he was after running over fences, he was very nimble over hurdles. Obviously, he was off a lower mark. I thought coming here that he was a better chaser than a hurdler, but you can’t argue with that. He’s in the National and sure you’d have to consider it. It’s fantastic, it’s so hard to be competitive here so to win two races is brilliant.

Quotes on The Enabler (IRE)

That was great. He jumped great but Jack said he was very idle in front, going a bit left and right. He was a bit leery in front,. He’s a nice horse, we knew he had improved from the first day so we’re happy. You’ll probably see him going handicap chasing now rather than graded races. We’ll keep it small.

Quotes on Win Some Lose Some (IRE)

He jumped well and got a lovely ride. . The step up in trip helped him and it’s great to get a winner. He was bred by my mother as well so it’s a great day. . The option is open to run in the Final now, so we’ll see. We’ll talk to J.P. and Frank (Berry) and see what they want to do.

Quotes on Kinturk Kalanisi (IRE)

He's been as solid as a rock. It's brilliant for John and Sabrina (Daly), it's their first horse with me. Jim (Melia) and Sean and Kathleen who bred him had him with me to point-to-point and sell. We couldn't get a decent price for him in England and I said I'd get them a few pound back home so I was delighted for them. We think he'll make a nice chaser in time, we've thought that all along. He jumps really well and it's great to pick up a hurdle race on the way. The small field and having to do the donkey work was far from ideal for him. He's much better having somebody taking him along. It's just the way it panned out. He could go for the three-mile handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse over Easter.

Quotes on Uhavemeinstitches (IRE)

It's great to get a winner, it's been a while since we had one. Mark gave her a lovely ride. He said they went very quick in front and he felt it just fell apart.  . She is a nice mare going forward. She is a little bit babyish and made one or two novicey mistakes, which I didn't think she would, but I suppose they were going a good speed and it was her first time over fences. . It was a race for horses rated 120 or less over hurdles, so a lot of the higher class horses were ruled out. We'll have to see where she fits in as the season goes on. . She is a nice filly to have and it's great to have a winner for JP. . She has a lot of similarities (to her dam). She's a lot slicker over hurdles than her dam was. She is designed to be a chasing filly and the family does get further. Around here is a quick two-and-a-half and you'd like to think a bigger galloping track would suit her.  . We don't want to be getting too carried away because it's the start of the season and there is a lot of good horses to come out yet. We'll have a look at what's coming up and have a chat with Frank (Berry).  . We just wanted to get today out of the way and get the experience into her.

Quotes on Prends Garde A Toi (FR)

We knew he wasn't right after Punchestown but, to be honest, I thought if we finished third or fourth it was a good run today. He had fitness on his side and Jack was brilliant on him. I'd say he is more of a three-mile handicapper down the road than a graded horse, but job done - another winner.

Quotes on Sportinthepark (IRE)

The whole plan was obviously to go back chasing with him and the plan now is to go to the Troytown. I didn't want to run him in today's earlier chase as if he won he'd have risked picking up a penalty, so I said we might as well have a run over hurdles where he is rated 15lb lower. He had a setback after his last run and when I got him back later in the season, it was too late to run. He has grown up, matured and grown a lot stronger as he had been a big shell of a horse. His owner Philip Polly is in Dubai so hopefully he is watching on TV.

Quotes on He's Gorgeous (IRE)

He had a lovely first run over fences and everything about this year was great but it had taken two years of nurturing him to get him to where he is now, as he never had muscle on him. Luckily enough, I had the owners who gave me the time,. He started thriving towards the end of last year and the whole plan was to go chasing, which has worked out great. He handles heavy, we know he can go on good ground and I'll have him well entered up for Christmas, where he'll probably run at Leopardstown. George (Moore) couldn't make his way over from Cardiff last night as there were floods on the motorway. I'm raging, as he is very loyal and without those lads, small trainers wouldn't survive. I couldn't survive without the likes of George and Ray Minion (joint-owner).

Quotes on Kish Bank (IRE)

It’s been an unbelievable week. Normally things don’t bounce right for you, but to come out with this amount of winners is unbelievable. Credit to all the team I have at home and all our owners and jockeys. Carl has been plagued with injuries over the last couple of years and he keeps coming back. He always rides a winner at the big festivals. I’m delighted for him as he’s around my place a long time and he works very hard. This horse likes a bit of better ground.

Quotes on Patter Merchant (IRE)

He's a nice horse, he's a horse to go jumping and you probably won't see much more of him this year. He's a horse for next year. Harry said he should have let him slide on, as he's just a galloper but we like 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 Da Capo Glory (IRE)

It is his first run for five months and Darragh knows him very well having won a bumper and maiden hurdle on him. We couldn't look past him with his 7lb claim on that ground, which is worth its weight in gold. This horse was my first winner, he is still flying the flag and is a mighty horse. He isn't big, but is very well-bred and jumps hurdles very well. He pulled up in the Galway Hurdle when they went a million (speed) and we were behind and beaten after the first hurdle. He didn't really get a race though, but the thing about him is he can hit flat spots in his races. . He ran well when finishing fourth in the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran last year and that is an option again. It is mighty for the five-member syndicate (Red Strand Syndicate) and there are a lot of happy people here, although two are at home with Covid, another is in Copenhagen and he couldn't make it. They are west Cork people and we had our initial syndicate meeting in the Red Strand (in Cork).

Quotes on Built By Ballymore (IRE)

When I saw the way the ground was I said we might get 'Limerick' ground again. He just handles the muck. He mightn't quicken up, but he just keeps going in it. I felt he might have been put in high enough, but in those conditions he handles it better than most.

Quotes on Vaureal (FR)

He had a great run here in the three-mile banks race the last day and this has been the plan for a while now, so it's nice. We said we'd change tactics and just bounce him out. He jumps very well, so there was no point in trying to hold him back. He’s done it well.
