Quotes on Ballybow (IRE)

To be honest if I was Sam, I’d have followed Ballygunner Castle instead of him following us, and pushed him along. They went no gallop though and it was a no-race, really so that's why he is riding them. They quickened over the last two, but the one thing I do like about our horse, from the second-last to the line - even after the last - he dropped his head and showed a good attitude. We’ll go for the Albert Bartlett now. I think the race could suit him, and he could have an each-way chance in a race like that, with a lead, coming at a few horses.

Quotes

Quotes on Kamikaz Du Plessis (FR)

He was leaning off the rail a little bit. He showed a bit of greenness with Jack (Kennedy) the last day in Wexford, so he's still a baby but he has got plenty of pace. He probably won snug enough at the line. Probably wasn't ideal making the running, but it just looked like there was going to be no pace. I told Finn if he was to make it to go steady and he did, so he got his fractions right. He jumped very slick; he's a good jumper. He obviously was point-to-pointing, so he has loads of experience. I actually don't think he is slow, he's not a slow horse. He could run over any trip really. The horses are flying, thank God. Obviously, the summer horses are probably running a little bit dry now and all the winter horses start coming in in the next couple of weeks, so it is exciting times.

Quotes on Meet And Greet (IRE)

He was off for a long time with injury and we gave him a run in Punchestown but I came here today thinking he’d need another run. I was wrong and Phillip gave him a great ride. Phillip said beforehand that he would finish strong but we were wondering what pace would be in the race. They went quick enough and it was a good performance. If he stays sound is the big thing. He’s a gent of a horse and we love him. I’m delighted with that.

Quotes on Sandor Clegane (IRE)

He is a horse that gets into a nice rhythm and jumps well, he was probably jumping too well to that hurdle (second-last) and he just met it on a half stride. A bit of a guess just when we were starting to get rolling. Overall, he's a good jumper and it was a good performance. The two of us (Three Card Brag) probably were in the same boat in that we wanted a nice gallop, but neither of us were really mad to make it. We went along upsides and we went a nice, even gallop all the way. It kind of suited both of us and, in fairness, this lad picked up nicely into the straight. It is beautiful ground - it is just yielding, it isn't any slower. It is lovely jumping ground. We didn't declare for the Grade 1, we had a talk and some were for it and some against it. If he wasn't going to win this, he wasn't going to win the Grade 1 in an hour's time. Why take on a horse rated 10lb above you? He'd won one maiden hurdle and is the best horse we have in the yard, so it's nice to get another win with him. He'd prefer easier ground, it's as nice as he'd want it, but it's lovely ground and the track looks fantastic. Next to my father Dan Browne is the greatest gentleman I ever met and is a great supporter for the yard. I delighted for Jim Coffey and all the lads involved. It means an awful lot for every trainer to win here and thanks be to God we got one. We'll probably start off over two-and-a-half over fences next season and build it up. Please God it will lead to Cheltenham again. It's nice
