God Knows wins Bellewstown Claimer for Brabazon

We always liked the filly but obviously if you're a year off things go wrong. We just had to drop her in class and see could we get a win. She's a filly I thought could be in good handicaps, but just things go wrong. Obviously, we got her patched up and she performed there. He (Heffernan) just said going out 'I think she is a different class than these'. Obviously, we must have had her fairly right to do the job. No (wouldn't want to lose her) but, having said that, I think if you go into a claimer there is no more messing around. If someone takes her, they take her. I'd be doing everything to keep her only I bred her, so I have others. I have a lovely yearling filly. If someone else goes on and wins races, I would be delighted.

Pockets full for supporters of Empty Wallet

I think you have to have experience coming here. Having said that, he threw away whatever experience gained in Down Royal with Nicola at the start. The one thing I said to her going out was 'don't ride the track, ride the horse and go through the gears'. She's a very intelligent young lady and is a lovely kid. We knew he would stay and we knew the other one (third-placed Carwyn) would stay. It is nice to give them a nice gallop around rather than working at home tomorrow in Glenburnie. It is nice that they win but when they popped out like they did I didn't think that was going to be on the cards. I get a great thrill out of winning for Sean (Jones), he has been with me forever. It is nice to win a race for him. He's probably a nursery type horse. He's a big, scopey horse and he should get better with age. We'll see where that brings us, I wouldn't have any big, major plans with him.

Daonethatgotaway delights Up The Blues Syndicate

I put a few off him as I didn't think he was 100 per cent fit coming here today. He's tough, he's genuine. He loves to get into a bit of a bumping match, he came alive. They are a great bunch of lads (Up The Blues Syndicate) and they follow him everywhere. They are lucky to get a horse like that and they appreciate him, they know how lucky they are to have him. He's a consistent horse and Keithen gets on well with him. He was mighty on him. He is lazy and idle and he was pushing and shoving him from a long way. Keithen is actually from Monasterevin so they all know each other, they are all neighbours and having good craic. He just keeps surprising us every day and we don't know how far he can go.

In-foal My Girl Sioux delivers for Slatterys

She is ultra-consistent. She has her level, but she runs to her level every day and she picks up cheques. She had to carry 10-2 and she does have a habit of running into trouble in races. She likes a fast pace to aim at and they went fast there and came back to her. That's her ideal set up. You'll keep seeing her and she'll keep running away. She's actually in foal to The Antarctic and I think she has until the middle of September.

Sea Coral gets up late to bring up double for Kennedy

She stays very well. She was second in a barrier trial last year. We were very disappointed when she ran as a two-year-old (unplaced in Cork) and we have given her time. She has strengthened up and she stays very well. We got her to relax - half the time she thought she was quicker than she was. A mile and a-half, a mile and six I think.

Celtic Druid leads home McCourt 1-2 in Bellewstown nightcap

I thought we weren't going to get one the way things were going - we had three seconds between yesterday and today. We are just getting it right with the trip. I trained the half-sister, Lady Scathach, and she was seven (furlongs) to a mile. This one always showed us enough pace at home to do that. That's kind of what I had in my head until he ran in Limerick and was just very one paced. Up to a mile and one in Leopardstown, he improved. Robert thought he would see out a mile and a-half no problem. He's a grand horse. I was annoyed with the handicapper, he dropped him out of the system two runs back and he's lightly raced, he's only had six or seven runs and he dropped him out - dropped him 4lb or 5lb. I won't have to worry about that for now. Maxwell Smart (runner-up) was flying home again, maybe just didn't travel as well early on, but he finished out really well.
