Great Barrier Reef
It was a very serious run in the Dewhurst. We thought if he ran well we'd go on to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (Turf) with him because we thought he was a horse that would get seven furlongs and could get a mile, so that's where we're going next with him.

She's had this issue with corns all year, it's like having a stone in your shoe. They kept coming back, in both heals, but our farriers did an incredible job.

Wayne gave him a peach,. The horse is unbelievably genuine and has kept progressing from run to run. He thrives on racing. He's one to look forward to for a trial next year. If he came through today well, Aidan might even look at France next weekend. He just takes his racing so well. Mentally, he's coming along. When Wayne really got down into him, he really stretched out to the line and won nicely.

City Of Gold
It's a magnificent day. For Wayne to get six winners, and six winners for the stable, is incredible,. We were lucky at this meeting last year, we had six as well. The horses are in form, they are running well. We had some lovely winners today with the maidens and the ones in the group races. It's a day to savour. Minnie Hauk topped it off in Ascot. Across the two tracks, it's been a stellar day.

Snowing
It was obviously a drop in class for her,. She had run in a couple of bigger races on her last couple of starts. She had a very good run around here in the Ingabelle on Champions Weekend. We thought she'd be hard to beat coming here. It was very straightforward and she hit the line well. All being well, if she winters well and comes through the spring, we'll bring her back here for a Guineas trial and see what she does.

Speckles
He has the makings of a smashing colt for next year,. All being well, he'll come back here for one of the trials. Obviously his maiden couldn't have worked out any better this year. He was still pretty raw with Wayne, but I suppose with the way the track is set up today turning, he could never really get him balanced and into a rhythm. In fairness, when he asked him, he went forward nicely. The second horse helped him. There's still plenty of improvement in there and he's one that will make the winter a wee bit shorter.

She obviously had a couple of lovely runs coming into this, especially last time when she ran a nice race to get the black type at Doncaster,. So obviously, dropping back into a maiden, it looked a winnable race. Wayne said it rode a very good maiden.

Gstaad
There were circumstances around a lot of the horses' last runs because the horses were a little bit under the weather at the time. There were four, five or six Group Ones where they weren't finishing strongly and they were finishing second, and then all of sudden everybody was coughing in the yard.

We think the mile at Ascot will suit him (Gstaad) very well. We were very happy with all his runs over a mile and we think the track at Ascot is going to suit him very well.

When they have as much class as he has they can do anything and the Triple Crown is the dream. His dad was an incredible horse who went very close. This lad is very like him, but quicker.

The funny thing about her is it's only in the last month that she's been able to take a normal horse's work, so there's every chance she's been weak all year and is just starting to progress now.

Benvenuto Cellini
We had a pacemaker in the Prix Niel, but the field didn't follow the pacemaker (Montreal) so we ended up with a slowly-run trial and obviously he wants an even-run mile and a half. We think that was part of the reason for his run really.

He’s a high-pace horse, long striding and the pacemaker got away and that just meant it was an ordinary pace which didn’t suit, but he did come home well.

She is not blowing very hard and when we were tacking up there was no anxiety. She's as cool as a cucumber and Ryan was over the moon with her.

She has just progressed from race to race so far. She’s a very good filly, she has lot of ability and she loves her racing.
