Emily justifies favouritism in the opener

She's a big, tall, scopey filly, and Shane said the ground was as quick as she'd like. There should be plenty of improvement in her. She was slowly away at Galway and extremely green but I liked the way she came home. She's come forward well from that run.

Maknificent wins as Laganore flops

The extra bit of distance helped her, and she's improving with all her runs. She ran incredibly well at Galway considering she dropped herself out five furlongs out.

Magdalen makes all in the Kingdom Gold Cup

She did it well and Ian gave her a fine ride. The course here suits her well. We had been running her over a mile and when she got nine and a half furlongs well at Gowran last time we decided to give this a go.

Miss Dinamic gets the job done

Viconte too good for Upazo and co

Old Supporter follows up on Tramore win

He's a tough old boy. I'm delighted for Louis (Hill) as I've ridden for him alot in the past and now it's come full circle and it's great to be training winners for him. He was great in Tramore, and I'd say he was nearly better today. We'll see what the handicapper does now, and I doubt he'll be in 102 races now. He deserves a crack at a decent race now.

Peregrine gets a deserved win to his name

I'm delighted for the owner (Vincent Byrne from Portarlington) as much as the horse. He's been involved in horses for a few years and that's his first winner.
