Quotes on Frankendael (GB)

That was magic and he is a lovely lovely horse who has improved all the time since we got him. I thought he won his maiden hurdle very nicely at Ballinrobe and when we were entering for this, I thought it was a longshot although top weight Daddy Long Legs came out, so we snuck in at the bottom. He is a particularly good jumper, loves soft ground and has won a beautiful pot for fantastic owners. The syndicate is headed by Vincent Casey, they are very loyal and fantastic people. They love Listowel so will enjoy this moment.

Quotes on Wholelotofbusiness (IRE)

Wholelotofbusiness wasn’t winning out of turn and should have won here in August but got caught up in a faller, when Jack Kennedy rode him. He then bumped into a really smart horse (I’ll Sort That) of Declan Queally’s in Listowel and coming here with his weight, the race was his to lose and I couldn’t see him getting beaten. Watching it, I was worried as there was no real gallop on and thought he’d want a stiff two miles but Gary picked up the running far out. To get another winner is super but I’m more delighted with our bumper horses recently, as they are the ones you want to build on this.

Quotes on Coul Dreamer (IRE)

I'm delighted as he's a locally owned horse. Ray Jennings and Phil McAuley, an electrician, are both from Naas and they bought this fella as a foal,. He's a beautiful big horse and I was always taking my time with him on the Flat. . I thought he ran a lovely race to be third here on the Flat but just didn't get through the ground. He's much stronger now. . I thought he jumped beautifully there and was in a lovely rhythm. I thought he did that well. . He was going around 'the eight' on the Curragh the last day with a lead horse and jumped by him and went around on his own so I said to Ricky to let him enjoy himself today and, if he makes ground at a hurdle, don't pull him back. He winged everything. . He felt he was just cruising along and didn't think he was going fast.  . We'll maybe aim at the graded race in Fairyhouse, we think a lot of him.

Quotes on Expound (GB)

A lot of things were right for him today although we were lucky we had him entered before he won on the Flat at Ballinrobe. He likes good ground and the tracks which are usually good, or better. He was allowed to dictate, Dan (King) was able to get a 'fill' and used pole position well. I knew the owners the Corner House Syndicate would all be here as they are local in Tallow and they have been getting a great kick out of the horse.

Quotes on Sonny May (IRE)

He was very good. He’s a seven-year-old and has a bit of age now and is stronger. It’s great to win with a homebred and I’ve only two horses in training. I ride him most days. . He had a few problems and only ran twice last year and ran badly but we’ve ironed out a few problems.

Quotes on Teed Up (IRE)

He has a serious appetite for racing and is an unbelievable horse to have in the yard. He loves it here. It might not have seemed that likely in the dip but as soon as he meets the rising ground, he grows another leg. He’s had a tough week and he could tell you what the traffic has been like coming up here this week! I’d imagine he’s earned a little break now and we can start planning for next year. Horses for courses, he loves it here and it’s a special place for the Mees. He’ll definitely target it again next year.

Quotes on Catch The Beast (IRE)

We always thought he was a nice horse and we bred him as well. He was born the night of the famous storm, the Beast From The East, and we nearly lost him. I was watching the mare on camera and next thing a wind ripped through the place and we lost all our power and I couldn’t get the generator working. The foal was half out and was on his last breath when we got to him. That’s how he got his name from the storm. The longer trip probably helped him today, although Phillip said there's no need to go up any further in trip. His jumping is brilliant and he quickened up well.

Quotes on High Court Cave (IRE)

I was in two minds to go for the handicap hurdle or the maiden and it was a flick of a coin - it turned out alright!. He's a very useful jockey and rides him out at home and all. Oran is a good lad and knows the time of day. We probably didn't get the straightest of runs with him the last two weeks, he had wee issues that annoyed him a bit. We were in two minds whether we were going to run him or not even. I'm delighted he did that. It was that bad a race you had to go and give him a chance. He had a very good run in Galway. I'll pick out another race. He's a local man, Victor McCrea (owner), he lives beside me and helps me out a lot all the way. He has three or four horses with me and he bought them all himself, and they are all very lucky to him. He (High Court Cave) has plenty of ability on his day - he has a point-to-point and a bumper and a hurdle. He is probably an out-and-out chaser down the line. I've no plans yet, I don't like running them too quick even though I do like to get a Listowel winner! I had it in the back of my mind and pencilled in - you might see him there on Saturday or so. I'll see what is happening, I'll not panic.

Quotes on Give Him A Chance (IRE)

we rode the horse positively the last day but he was just too keen. He travelled well into the straight then but didn’t get home, so I said to Alex to take his time. He gave him a super ride, was very polished and that’s his first winner for me. He is owned by two publicans from Gorey (John O’Connor and Michael Gleeson) who own two different pubs in the town, so normally they’re in competition. I have great support locally and it is lovely to be getting winners for local people.

Quotes on Woodstream Lad (IRE)

When I got him, we dropped him in and he won two hurdles for us. We went over fences, he lost his confidence a little bit. He turned in going very well in Tipperary the last day, but from a slow pace just stayed going. We said we would make the running and try and change his mind a bit. His jumping at the top of the hill and at the last, he still wasn't brilliant, but I think that will give him a bit of confidence. He won well, but maybe an ordinary race. It is another winner, very happy. Calum is a very nice chap and a good rider.

Quotes on Sopelana (GB)

She loves the heavy ground and it’s great get another win out of her. She did it very well and Kevin is great value for the 7lb. It’s great for the lads (Tallys Bar Syndicate which includes Hector O hEochagain). They are all away today but enjoy their racing and are good owners to have. She might sneak into the Fred Winter now. We might look at that and if the ground came up soft at Cheltenham you wouldn’t know what might happen.

Quotes on She Is Electric (IRE)

It's a great result. We said we'd try and steal a march on them. If you are not brave you are nothing in life. Robbie gave her a super ride. He works for me everyday and was in the yard at 6am this morning and we got them out in the pouring rain. We came down and we won the listed race in Gowran so that's all that matters!. She belongs to a good friend of mine, Eddie Naughton, we own her half and half. We always knew she was a decent filly, she had a few little problems early on. That will do her book good and she's a valuable filly now. She's a proper little one. I bought her myself at the sales, as a three-year-old, for handy money. I asked a good few lads to buy her and they wouldn't buy her. Eddie stood in and gave me a good few quid for her so it's great. It pays dividends to have a sound man own her with you as you can do what you like. We were expecting her to be in the first three with a bit of luck because we said we'd take them off their feet. She's a handicapper to jump, she'd jump out of jail for you. We loose school her, we never sit on her back over hurdles. She did it great, we're over the moon. It's great for the lads at home, we've a small team. There are four of us there and we get the thing done. We'll stay small because you get your job done that way.
