Quotes on Solness (FR)

He jumped well, travelled well the whole way and when the other horse (The Banger Doyle) came to him, he toughed it out. This trip seems ideal,. He is a classy horse on his day and Oakley's 5lb off was a big help, as his claim is very valuable. Oakley is on the Hill (at Owning) five days a week so it is nice to get him a winner as he deserves it.

Quotes on Casheldale Lad (IRE)

He is (going the right way) and Jack said he has actually gone so laid-back from a horse that was very keen. He said he won with plenty in hand and was actually idling in front. He enjoyed himself, but he wasn't doing a whole lot in front - he was very idle.

Quotes on Ndaawi (GB)

We have won most of the big handicaps so this is the race I wanted to win, although it is not a nice way to win. The stewards have their jobs to do, and Jack said he'd get it straightaway after the race. I was talking to Ruby (Walsh) as well and he felt we would definitely get it. The Earls are big supporters of mine, we go back to Day Dot nearly and my first Cheltenham winner Chicago Grey was for Michael(Earls)’s brother so it is great. Noel (Meade) is one of my greatest friends and there isn't a day goes by that we don't talk and we have great banter but that's the way it goes unfortunately. There is a 150,000 dollar Flat race in America for him in October now. It is unbelievable to win the two big races here this week and the horses have all run well. I can't believe it.

Quotes on Bowensonfire (FR)

He’s a bit of a monkey. You don’t even give Jack instructions going out, just do what you want, drop him in and get him in every bit of trouble you can. Maybe getting his head in front the last day helped. I thought he might be badly handicapped in that ground but it’s great to win. It’s great that the lads are here. Dave (Page) and his brother and a few of them own this fella. Dave is with me a couple of years, and they are big supporters of Cullentra. We’ve had good days and bad days, but they stick with me. Without these lads you can’t do it. They travel over from the UK to see their horses when they can, they don’t get enough credit these men.

Quotes on El Cairos (FR)

It is job done and he never came out of second gear. Jack said it was his fault at the last as he said he should have either taken him back or asked him, but I loved the way he came back on the bridle straight away and you’d have to be impressed by that,. We came here looking for good ground so I was nervous, but it was either come here or to Navan or Punchestown next week, which was getting too close to Cheltenham. I don’t think he could have done any more and he is very fast. Jack said the boot he has is unbelievable. He’ll learn plenty from today and even racing in a big field will do him no harm. He’ll go straight to Cheltenham and he’ll be way better on better ground.

Quotes on Laafi (FR)

it was a very good performance and he really jumped and travelled. He handled that ground well and it was a nice performance to do that first-time-out over hurdles against horses with runs. He had a very good level of form on the Flat in England and his last win was in Doncaster on easy groudn so we were hopeful coming here. Gary (Bannon, assistant trainer) said he was in right order. There was a false start and I got a better position after it so it all worked out and I was delighted to get the ride.

Quotes on Puturhandstogether (IRE)

It's going well and is something to look forward to in the future when I do hang up my boots. I'm 56 and still enjoying riding. Scott was riding in the race and finished fifth. He got a great spot from the draw (stall 30) and he minded him into the race. He's a tricky horse but Niall gave him a lovely ride and it's a great pot to win. He had a bit of look around after he hit the front but that's him. He's not the simplest horse to get right and he was against the odds for things to go right from that draw. Niall was very kind on him, and he settled well for him. He ran great in Listowel and bounced out of the race well so we figured we'd let him take his chance. He could go for a nice handicap hurdle in Leopardstown. He doesn't want the ground too soft.

Quotes on Tounsivator (FR)

I thought every horse that we ran had a chance if they ran their best race. He might have had the fitness edge on them as he'd been running for us during the summer. The ground conditions probably suited him better today and I'm very happy with him. I'd imagine we'll go on to Christmas now. he was a nice purchase for Temple Bloodstock and I'm very pleased for Aubrey McMahon (syndicate manager): he was a reasonably priced horse and it's tremendous for the syndicate to win a race like that. Aubrey seems to be able to buy them cheap and has also had the English Cesarewitch winner.

Quotes on King Of Kingsfield (IRE)

Jack said he’s relaxing a lot more. He was very keen as a young horse, and Jack said he thought he might have won snugly if he hadn’t nodded at the back of the second-last. I think it was a good enough performance. As soon as the ground goes (soft) you won’t see him until the spring. He’s three races won now (over fences) so we can’t complain. He had to do the donkey work (for Brighterdaysahead) last season and it wasn’t really fair on him.

Quotes on Murcia (FR)

I wouldn’t be worried if I was Dan, he seems to have the thing fairly solid at the moment. I can’t see us winning it unless we win the Grand National and Dan has a complete flop, which doesn’t happen. We had an extraordinary year last year and we’re a lot more behind this year.

Quotes on Too Bossy For Us (IRE)

He did it nicely. It was a slow enough run contest and we’d have preferred a faster one,. He still has a bit of improving to do, he jumped the last very high which showed he has plenty left in the tank. Once he learns to come down and hurdle properly he should improve more. He has enough class for the Supreme (Novices’ Hurdle), but we’ll have a look and see what races he’s in and what he’s qualified for, we won’t make a decision at this stage. He’ll hopefully be a horse that will be dual purpose during the summer. He’s a horse we might try to qualify for the Melbourne Cup as well.

Quotes on Helvic Dream (IRE)

Colin said he was going to sit a bit closer and have one go at him (Broome). He felt he went too soon for him the last day and he felt he did again today. He has an electrifying turn of speed but lasted it out. It was a brilliant ride. He’s been a pleasure to train and doesn’t take a lot of work. There have been plenty of people interesting in buying him but thankfully the owners have kept faith in me as I felt he could win a Group One. I’ve had a number of horses placed in Guineas, and a fourth in the Epsom Derby, but that is my first Group One. I can die happy now!. They are so easy to train compared to jumpers. I’m always joking with Flat trainers that they are getting away with murder. You don’t have to train Flat horses to stay or to jump and there is not nearly as many injuries. I’ve always said that Sheikh Mohammed should have sent Willie (Mullins) 200 horses years ago and got him out of the way!. I was afraid to even dream about it (winning a Group 1). I’m thrilled and it means a lot.

Quotes on Starting Fifteen (GB)

On his last run (finishing second to Talk The Talk) he was entitled to win most four-year-old maiden hurdles and he is a smart horse with buckets of toe. The secret to him is Sean Flanagan switching him off and getting him to relax. Sean came down to school him over hurdles in the past couple of weeks which was all in preparation for today so I'm delighted. He has a great bunch of owners so it's all good. He'll probably go for a novice next and he could end up running in one of the better handicaps in the spring. He is well bred and could also go back on the Flat next year, although it is important he settles.

Quotes on Ragmans Corner (IRE)

He has just kept improving all year and I don't know why. He's a lovely little horse and some attitude, so he has. . We will probably go to Naas now for the two-mile handicap, I used to call it the November Handicap, I think it is in October now. We had planned to go there and he is entered in it anyway. If he gets in, he will probably take his chance. . He has been an unbelievable horse for us all. . He has a serious pedigree, but as an individual he wasn't much to look at. I remember when he came to the yard one day, the fella took him out of the box and one of the lads said 'what is he by?' He says 'by Kalanisi' and the lad said to put him back in the box and take him with him! I remember the next morning, when I saw him, I was inclined toagree with him as well! . It is what is under the bonnet that counts. It is just unbelievable. . He was third in the big one at Galway(GPT) and then second on the Sunday and he didn't run his race on Sunday because he never travelled. I thought he was going to be tailed off and the next thing he finished second. Whatever it was, the ground being dead, but he just never travelled. . Eoghan rode as an amateur for us and he won on him as an amateur in Punchestown. I thought with the size of him (Ragmans Corner) the 7lb off would help. Looking at it there, we probably didn't need it!

Quotes on Putapoundinthejar (IRE)

He's not an easy horse, but your man (King) is just an excellent rider - what a rider!. I shouldn't be saying it, but you'd love to see him in one of the top yards, but then he wouldn't be able to ride for me! He's on a par with Jack Kennedy and those boys. I haven't seen anything as good since the likes of (Ruby) Walsh. It is local and when you see a nice race like that, 60 grand, you kind of put him (Putapoundinthejar) by a month or two in advance.

Quotes on Beauvallon (IRE)

I’m delighted with that performance. He’s a horse that is improving. He wasn’t always in love with the game, but I think he’s jumping better than he’s Flat racing. We might go back on the Flat again with him this summer though. He’s going the right way and it’s a nice win for Patrick Wynn-Jones who is the manager for Barnane Stud. Himself and a few pals have this horse. They brought him back from France to give a trial to and he’s trialling well at the moment!

Quotes on Sageborough (FR)

He won his maiden hurdle here and he was actually running a respectable race in Cheltenham when he fell two from home. Today off his mark we would have been disappointed if he hadn’t been involved. Sean was pleased with him. Coming down the hill it looked like he was going to be in trouble a bit, but he was tracking Henry’s horse and the gaps appeared for him because he tracked him. He jumped the last well and got on top, so we’re delighted. We thought a nice bit of him coming to his maiden hurdle here and then he obviously disappointed, but I’d say that’s his ground. He wears a tongue-tie for a reason. We won’t be letting him out (to grass).

Quotes on Royal Hollow (IRE)

She’s a bit mad! She ran too free in Listowel the last day and ran too free in Clonmel before that and in the Galway Hurdle she didn’t jump off,. I wanted to run her in the Irish Cesarewitch last week and he wouldn’t let me but now I want to run her in the Colm White Handicap at Naas (on October 12th). She has loads of ability, she’s very talented. If she puts it all together she’s capable of winning one of those. She did too much in the visor the last day and run herself into the ground. She’s fully mad and we just have to try and keep a lid on her. She ran well in the Tipperary Cup in Clonmel but she pulled for a mile-and-six, she was still pulling turning into the straight and still finished fourth. She’s not learning. We’ll go to Naas now.

Quotes on Barbizon (IRE)

He jumped brilliant. We were a bit worried about his jumping at home - he was novicey, to be honest. That's why Jack went for the other horse, he had the pick of the two of them. It was a good performance and delighted with him. I think on better ground he will be even better. He's a nice horse and he was a highly rated horse (on the Flat), and he wasn't cheap. Fairyhouse might come a bit quick, so Leopardstown at Christmas more than likely.

Quotes on Thisistheway (IRE)

Her dam won twice in Wexford and won three overall. She also got Grade 3 black type. This is the first foal out of her and while she is not a big mare, she is a lot bigger than the dam who was tiny. She was ready to run in May and we let her out because the ground went too quick. She is actually not that long back in and I thought she might need the run, but because it's so close to home we said we'd come here and maybe in three weeks time go to Ballinrobe for the four-year-old fillies bumper. She is after winning now so we might go for the mares winners' race in Down Royal or go straight to the Listed bumper at Gowran. If the ground is okay she will probably go to Down Royal before Gowran. My father (Charlie) bought the granddam (Party Woman) as a foal and she won three times before she chipped a bone in her knee. She produced Little Mitch then and it's a real fillies pedigree. We still have Little Mitch at home and hopefully there is a couple more to come along out of her.

Quotes on No Looking Back (IRE)

he won his bumper here the same way, when he came down the hill he showed a good turn of foot, was interested in what he was doing and went on and won,. His jumping was pretty ok, I think he'll be sharper the next day but I'm delighted with him. He is a grand horse and is a half-brother to (stablemate) Unexpected Depth. We have no plan and came here today to see how he'd behave and perform. I'd say he'll run at Christmas but I'm not sure he likes heavy ground, yielding or soft ground probably suits him.
