Porto Vecchio Dazzles on Debut

He's a very progressive colt and I thought he'd run a very nice race. He hasn't been on grass this year yet, which is surprising for one of mine. This was his first time, so I thought he just might find it all a little bit strange, and be a little bit immature. He did it all very professionally. He's a good colt. I think he's definitely stakes calibre. He's an own brother to Homeless Songs, who won the Irish 1,000 Guineas for me. I'd hope that we could build him into a horse that could run in the National Stakes, that'd be the plan for him. My first two-year-old colt to run this year. I said a couple of weeks ago, when Purview won the Group 3, that we had some nice two-year-olds to produce in the coming weeks and he was the first of them.

Lee gets Rebel Wave up on the line

I'm delighted with that. She did nothing wrong in Limerick and has come on from that. If you don't win the next day, you're going backwards. She's won and I thought she fought well there to win. She's a hardy filly and she tries, she's going the right way. She loved the ground there. The last day was soft ground, today was quick ground. I'm happy with that. We'll keep her in a fillies' handicap or look around for a bit of black type. We won't run her too often because she's not an over-big filly, but she tries very hard.

Moody proves too good in the Meadow Court

She's a nice filly. She's won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and, a Group 3 now. She's versatile. With Mr. Fabre, she ran at nine furlongs twice. She's just tough and I'd say she's good, too. I liked the look of her form and we buy a lot of those fillies at that level. We can't afford, maybe, the better ones. Some of them win and some of them don't. I'd say she's just got ability. That's a good trip for her. She's not short of speed. When she won at a mile and a-half in Cork, the way she quickened, I knew a mile and two wasn't a problem. The other race just came up at a time in her training (Vintage Tipple Stakes at Gowran) when I thought it might suit to run her. We did that, but I doubt we'll be going back to 1m6f. She's in the Jean Romanet, she's in the Yorkshire Oaks, she's in the Vermeille. She's in everything. I ran her today because I kind of felt if I waited for the Give Thanks (at Cork in August), I'd be too close to all those races.

Sondad powers home to land 'Scurry' Handicap

Cover Up in Curragh Group 2

Celeron steams home in Railway Stakes

John Fleming was a massive supporter of our yard and me from a young age. None of this would have been possible without him. He kept me going through thick and thin and this is for him. Any day you can get Oisin is a bonus. He gave him a great ride. I was a little bit worried about the trip today; six furlongs looks like his minimum now. He won his maiden over six furlongs but, when this horse steps up to seven furlongs or even a mile, we'll see the best of him. Oisin said it was only because of his class he got through. He found the pace mid-race a little bit hot, but he said the horse has plenty of class and took plenty of pulling up. His next race will be over seven furlongs and he could be a horse to go a mile next May.

Johanna Walsh writes her name into Irish Oaks folklore

It was a huge performance from the filly. I thought Dylan gave her a fantastic ride because he controlled the whole race. He felt like he'd be able to do that from a mid-pack position and he really did. She came on the bridle between the three and the two. We knew that she'd love the fast ground and we felt like she was in good shape coming here. It's really special to win a Classic here in Ireland. This is what we are in the game for and this is why we do what we do. We'll enjoy today. She's had a busy first part of the season. We'll probably give her a little freshen up now and focus on an autumn campaign.

Genchev finds more than enough at the Curragh

He won his maiden well in Navan on easy ground. I'd say the whole day in Ascot just got the better of him. He kind of boiled over and, it was really a non-event. We brought him home, freshened him up and, this was a nice next target. He's a horse that you can set alight from the stalls and then he shuts down and stays and, he's always only doing enough, hence the cheekpieces. He's turning into a likeable sort of horse.
