Monet paints a pretty picture in Fairyhouse rout

The plan was to make it. I thought the others had more speed in their pedigrees and that’s why we decided to make the running. She settled well in front. She’s been a late developing filly, and she’s progressed. I’m in favour of the way these races are framed. They work exceptionally well in America, and they will work well here in time as well.

Well backed Quiet Mutiny makes winning debut

I’m not surprised, and I suppose the market told you that as well. She’s a nice filly and hopefully can keep progressing. All her work has been good, and she seems to have a great mind. The sire is doing very well and I’m just sorry that I don’t have a few more of them!

Experience proves key as Chicago Call wins for Murtagh

We thought he ran well the first but then you look at the distance he got beaten. He ran very green, and Ben said he’d learn a lot. He’s a horse that needs plenty of work and he’s thrived on his work. I thought he still might need one more race before he was zoned in. I’d say he’s an above average colt and we might step him up in class now and see where he fits in.

Londonofficecallin brings up doubles for Cromwell and Whearty

That’s his ninth win and he hasn’t jumped a fence yet!. When you’re in front like that there is always the risk of idling, so you have to keep the pressure on. He’s in the hands of the handicapper now. He’s a great fun horse and there are loads of options, but he might go for the 2m6f handicap hurdle on the Saturday at Galway.

Shakazia brings up Fairyhouse doubles for Murtagh and Coen

She was due that win. Ben said that race suited her well and she is probably starting to relax a bit better now and learning how to race. The two in front gave her a nice lead and he said when he pulled her out, she felt like she had loads in the tank. She quickened up and won well. It’s nice to get a winning bracket and we’ll see what the handicapper gives her now before deciding her next target. Seven furlongs and good to firm ground suits her really well.

Blues Emperor completes hat-trick for Murtagh and Coen

He’s a warrior and I think he likes the sun nowadays. He came out of the Curragh so well and I think seven is a good trip for him as well. We’ve been running him in those Premier Handicaps over a mile, and he won one of them at the Curragh. Maybe the big seven-furlong handicap at Galway on the Sunday, that’s where we might go next.

Slattery's Zaraahmando follows up to make it back-to-back wins

I thought he was a bit hard giving him 8lb for winning the last day. He got handicapped last year when he was running too free in his races but he’s settling better. Hopefully he keeps progressing and if we can get him into Galway he’ll probably go there. He’s in Saturday in Dundalk but as of now he’s not running. We’lI sleep on it and see how he is in the morning.
