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, which is surprising for one of mine, this year yet. This was his first time, so I thought he just might find it all a little bit strange; 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 1000 Guineas for me. I'd hope that we could build him into a horse that could run in the National Stakes in the Group 1. 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.

She’s a nice filly. She’s won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and a Group Three now. She’s versatile. With Mr (Andre) Fabre she’d ran at nine furlongs twice. She’s just tough and I’d say she’s good too. She’s in the Prix Jean Romanet, she’s in the Yorkshire Oaks and she’s in the Prix Vermeille — she’s in everything.

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 today 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.
