Quotes on Rahmi (IRE)

It’s great, Champions Weekend is a big weekend. Rory is one of my apprentices and he’s been working hard. Thanks to Richard (McNally, owner) and his team this horse came back in good form. He got a bit of a hold-up at the start of the year. I was very happy with his last run, and the plan was always to come here. Seven furlongs suits him well. When the rain came, I thought it would help him. I hope there’s not a golden highway down that outside because I have a few fancied runners later in the day. I said to him to take his medicine (from stall 16), cruise around behind them and get a bit of cover as best you can and then in the straight peel him to the outside. I had four horses and I was shouting for each one of them at different stages.

Quotes on Bishopton (IRE)

he travelled lovely all the way and held on at the line. Paddy, who also won on him last summer, said the other horse (Venetian) was coming but was always doing enough. He has options over six or seven furlongs now and we hope he could be a lovely 'Saturday horse’ for the bigger meetings, like Guineas weekend. Maybe he will creep up the handicap and we could be looking at those nice races. He's entered here next week so we will have a look at the weight and, if it is too much of a task, he will go back to turf when the ground dries up. He wouldn't handle the soft ground.

Quotes on Exquisite Acclaim (IRE)

A horse like him, he's very consistent - he always gets his couple of races. It is great to get him back in front. He's a great fun horse and he pays his way. There's a race in Newcastle next week, it is 35 grand, and we might slip into it. It is for 0-85s, I think. We'll have to see with the ratings, but we might go there.

Quotes on Glory To Be (IRE)

It was a great run the last day when Wayne (Lordan, rider then) said it was unfortunate that the winner just hit her right on the line, so didn’t get a chance to fight her off. All she wants to do is get into a battle and she stayed the seven furlongs really well today. We always thought she would stay but we kept her in the five and six furlong-maidens last year because they are less competitive. She had no problem staying seven furlongs today and probably didn’t know herself, as she was in her comfort zone early on and seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully she’s a fun filly and we’ll find something with her now. There is a nice fillies handicap in Gowran next Wednesday, so we might look at that.

Quotes on I Bid You Ajou (FR)

He jumped well and was where I wanted to be. I got a gap after coming around the bend and he quickened up well. It was some buzz!. I'm from Abbeyfeale, County Limerick and my father always had mares and a few horses at home. Joe is with me about six months. He rides well, is a good worker and I'm hoping he can kick on from here and get some outside rides as he deserves it. He's good value for his 10lb claim and was very good on the horse there today. Shane Foley told us after riding him in the Curragh to get him around a bend and let him roll.
