Daamberdiplomat impresses Murtagh in Curragh

That was pretty impressive. I did think that he had come on at home. I thought he was a little bit keen the first day and Ben said he didn't get home. Today dropping him back to six he settled really well and he said he picked them up in a couple of strides. It was visually very impressive, there were a lot of fancied horses in that race today. I don't know what to do with him next to tell you the truth. He's still a bit immature and he should improve so I don't think I'll rush him. I might give him four or five weeks and we might look at the Killavullan towards the end of the year, maybe stepping him back up to seven because I always thought he was a seven-furlong horse.

Coleman brothers enjoy that winning feeling

She has loads of ability, we had her entered in loads of big races early in the season but she's been very disappointing,. Wayne actually said she's quite tough and when they came to her she fought them off. She's had a few excuses, she's been in season quite a bit and we found it had to work around that. There are a few times she's just disappointed but she has loads of ability and is probably the fastest two-year-old we have. They can be tricky and they aren't all straightforward. I wasn't going to back her today or any other day anyway. Wayne was second on her to a good horse, Apache Outlaw, when she was only beaten three-parts-of-a-length. He went on to be third in a Group 2 so her form is rock solid. We made an error in running her back in Roscommon after Fairyhouse. We stepped her up to seven-and-a-half in soft ground and she simply didn't stay. We ran her again soon after and she was Flat so I probably haven't been doing my job great with her. She's ran seven times but she was good there today and she's won so it's great. She's in the sales next week, we need to make room and I think she'll be a perfect filly for England. She'll win plenty of races and Wayne thought there was plenty there.

Levins eyes Dubai gold for Prisoner's Dilemma

It was a lovely performance. I was a little bit worried turning him out again very quickly,. The idea of running the last day was just to sharpen him up. I have him in the Constantine Stakes at York and in the Ayr Gold Cup and he just needed to learn a little bit more as he's only started sprinting this year. I was very happy with the way he travelled and finished out in Tipperary and I knew it would wake him up. This was a little bit of an afterthought, when I saw the race I thought if he came out of his race well he'd be very alive from the five and hopefully he would do something like that. I'm very pleased but now I'm not sure whether we'll go to York or Ayr as I might put him away and train him for Dubai. It's a nice headache to have and we'll discuss it with the owners and see what way we want to do it. If you are going to Dubai you have to make a decision half way through the season and train him for it. I can't be taking on the big races and then going to Dubai as an afterthought to be fair to the horse. I think he is tailormade for Dubai, off a fast pace he comes there with one good run. He could pick up a lot of place money and, if they go hard, he could land on the line. If I've ever had a horse tailormade for Dubai, it's him. Dubai will be first preference.

'Precocious' Mauiewowie has plenty of options

She's a lovely filly and a filly we always liked. We have a load of backward two-year-olds at home and she's the one that has always been precocious. She's by Night Of Thunder, one of my favourite if not my favourite sire, and Kris Weld just told me that she's a grand-daughter of Nightime so she has the pedigree. I was very worried about today's ground and they've done a marvellous job. We'll see how she comes out of it but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't see her again this year and we look after her until next year. We won't rush her and let her come along. She'll come into her own over six furlongs with a little bit of juice.

Luxembourg battles to make winning return

Very, we didn't think he'd ever get here. We thought that he had no chance of running after what happened to him. Everyone did a great job to get him over his first mishap, he was off for a long time. Then he came back and it wasn't smooth with him. Jamie who looks after him did an incredible job. I didn't think he'd get here, our eye was on the Irish Champion Stakes and obviously we knew you couldn't go to a Champion Stakes without a run and this was the only place we could run. The track was beautiful. In this heat it's very difficult to have ground the way it is so hats off to the Curragh. First time back we didn't want a grueller because he was only ready to start. It was brilliant really because they didn't go too fast and he had to quicken and run hard for the last two which he wanted to do before he'd go into a big championship race. We were over the moon. We knew Willie's filly was a good filly as we'd ran against her earlier in the year. They ran hard the last two and Ryan gave him a lovely ride and taught him. He had to sprint the last two furlongs and I couldn't be happier. Ryan said he moved up, got there and just shut down. He's used to doing that in his work, just getting there and coming with horses. Obviously he wouldn't have been edged up in any way. A lot of his work would be physical core work rather than sharpness because he wasn't ready to start sharpening him. We were only going to have one race to sharpen him and then we could take him home and

Raise claims Leger trial in style

Enright off the mark on his first ride

He rides well and that's why I put him up here at the Curragh. He's just 17 (from Limerick), but he's talented and I had a lot of confidence that if the horse was good enough he'd be good enough. I told him to take his time on him, ride a very patient race on him and get him to relax. The last time he ran in an apprentice race he ran a bit keen. He dropped him out and rode very cool. I said to him there will be a wall of horses in front of you but don't worry, just get your horse balanced and take it from there. He's a boy with a future, I wasn't surprised with the ride but I was hopeful for the horse. Jumping hurdles has sweetened him up. Darragh O'Keeffe rode him last time and wanted me to run him in Tramore tomorrow, as he thought he'd win, but I said no we were going to the Curragh.

'Star' Ducky Mallon clocks up his ninth victory

He's eleven, he's extremely happy; he's poetry in motion and we love him very much. We were very concerned and I had sleepless nights about whether I'd run him on that ground because he wants give in it. He had an accident nearly two years ago, he chipped a bone in his near fore and the chip is still in there. Every time we run him is a bonus, and to think not alone a bonus but we get a winner. He's a star. He controls the yard, he has his own box and nobody is allowed to get past unless they go and see him first. At least that's the way I think about it. We nearly had a double (Wayne R Walker was runner-up in the preceding race, the apprentice handicap) but it'll come one day.
