Rasmeyaa class act in opener

She ran a lovely race at the Curragh in a stakes race and I was very pleased with her first time up,. She's very good - a very talented filly. Obviously we see her as a group filly for next year and we'll look at a Guineas trial in the spring. She would like better ground and Pat said it's slower than you think out there. A mile is no problem to her. She does everything right. She has speed and stays.

Big Break enters Classic picture

Big Break did what we expected. She was very impressive when she won her maiden here on a fast surface and she has done it very well there on a slow surface. Pat (Smullen) said while she may have looked like she was impressive, she'd love better ground. She is a very talented filly and she could be a Guineas contender. I wanted to see how she'd handle today' slow surface and she chopped and changed her legs a bit. On the faster surface she is more explosive and she is a miler with serious gears.

Reef bags Leopardstown finale

that was a good performance . Shane said it rode like a very good race and they went a really good gallop. Sure Reef is a relentless galloper and physically he has done really well recently. It was a mistake to run him the second day at Galway but he is a lovely horse and will go on improving as he has loads of size and scope. He's in the Horses In Training Sale at Newmarket on Tuesday.
