Local Resident takes Listowel opener

It has been a very lucky family for us and ever since this horse came to me, he has always worked very well. After he had finished second in his point-to-point, the owners bought him with this race in mind so it is great that it worked out. They went very hard in today's race but he has that ability and, in time, he will stay all day. We'll look after him as he is a chaser in the making.

Trainer Duggan delivering from a new yard

it was a big step up in grade from his Ballinrobe win although he had less weight in this race so I decided to roll the dice. Niall is one of the most underestimated riders in Ireland and carried out every instruction to a tee. He is fierce value for his 5lb claim and everything worked out well. I tried to sell this horse last July but it was an advantage to me that he wasn’t sold. He is a progressive horse and is still improving. I am a Limerick-man (Kilfinane) but have recently moved to a new yard a mile down the road, into Cork, which is just a mile from my previous base. I’d like to thank my staff at home, including my daughter Ciara, who do a fantastic job and are a great team. I’m looking for owners, I have new stables, a two-and-a-half furlong oval gallop and another four-furlong uphill sand gallop. Whoever wants to send me a horse I’ll train it, I have 19 in at the moment and have room for more, either Flat or jumps.

Lee registers first Listowel success

Ladiam is a fierce honest mare who we have a long time, and is owned by lovely owners. She runs well every year but hadn’t won for a while, and good ground is crucial to her. She is a lovely mare in her own grade, is as genuine as could be and wears her heart on her sleeve.

Whateys Quest gives Fitzgibbon family emotional Listowel success

Abbie and Darragh (Cork hurling's captain) are sister and brother and this is a very emotional winner for them. They lost a mare at the Galway Festival so were a bit disillusioned by that and this is a great. Abbie works for me, is from a GAA family and it was great for Darragh and their mother to be here today. Darragh hasn't much of an interest in racing but was here to support Abbie. She is a brilliant girl. We thought the ground might be too quick so Abbie bucked him out in front. The horse is what he is and will mix it between fences and hurdles.

Iron Sword eases to Listowel finale success

The horses are going great, thank God, and we like this horse. We thought he'd win at the Punchestown Festival on his debut run so were disappointed, although he got a bit excited and ran too keen. He then got wiped out at Roscommon, where he'd have won, and then won the last day. He will go eating grass now as he's had four runs as a four-year-old, and won't be seen until next spring.
