Piazza San Marco opens up a path to stakes company

Lee back with a winner aboard Iowa City

It is a great to give the jockey a winner on his first ride back and the filly is nice. I ran her in May at Killarney on ground which was maybe too quick for her in hindsight and I thought coming here today that she would run very well. I'm not surprised she won but was surprised in the manner she did it, as what she did is hard to do in Galway. I think she's not too bad and will go back into stakes company now.

We tried her over further at Tramore the last day but it didn't work, so we brought her back in trip. She is a big filly, we're only learning about her and I thought she might stay further as when she was with Ken Condon, he ran her over further. I think her ideal trip is around nine furlongs. She isn't slow and had won over seven furlongs at Leopardstown but, at the end of the day, she is only learning about it and hopefully it is onwards and upwards with her. She has a good pedigree and is quirky in her own way, so we are only learning with her.

Burns forges new link with Cotter via On A Session

If ever a horse deserved to win a race at Galway, it was him as had finished second in three Ahonoora's (handicaps) and was unlucky in this year's festival, as if he had got the gaps he'd probably have won. Everything went perfectly today, but the only scare we had was his saddle slipped backwards and someone rang to say he had lost his lead-bag, but thankfully it stayed on. Everything was ok, though, and Nicola said he was travelling so well the whole way. That was Nicola's first ride for me and I had met her and her sister about six years ago when her father came to buy a horse for pony racing. They were only kids then and Nicola is well able to ride. The horse had won for me in Down Royal in May and his owners sent him to Ireland this year, as they are based here and like to see him run here. He is in his retirement-era but, when you see him do that, you'd wonder why and he could go to Listowel now. He has won over €200,000 and is a joy to have around the place.

Sharanga another fillies' maiden winner for Weld

She did it nicely as I thought she would. She is a small filly, was a late foal, and took time to develop but there are good goods in small parcels!. She is tough as teak, we'll see how she comes out of this and see how she progresses. She could be a lovely filly for the future, but her next race will decide plans. We won the two maidens at Navan on Saturday and this filly had been working just off those. I waited with those fillies as the ground has been very firm and they are typical Aga Khan-fillies who like a cut in the ground.
