Atomic Jones successful on debut in a thriller

Velocidad lands Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes in good style

She won nicely, Declan gave her a lovely ride and she's a good filly. She's always shown a lot of speed but it is a staying family. Today she looked quick and she's a Group 2 winner now so whatever happens from here on in is a bonus. I suppose the Cheveley Park would be the longer term target.

Thundering Nights is so tough in Pretty Polly

She's a great mare, she's very tough and every time you ask her a question she rises to the occasion. She's never run a bad race really and I'm delighted for Shapoor Mistry, the owner. I'm very proud of her. She always has a bit of a look around when she goes to the front and she did that again today but when the other one came to her she really fought back. Broome just nabbed her here one day on the line but she had an opportunity to fight back today and she did that. In America she would have won in another stride, the tight track caught her out a little bit as it was her first time around the bends over there. She had to spend a week after the race over there so she's only been back a couple of weeks. She trained there for a week, then shipped straight back and came straight here. She has a great constitution. She has options back in America, like the Beverly D, and she also has the likes of the Nassau and Matron. She's a Group 1 winner now so she's a very exciting broodmare prospect no matter what happens. Shane deserved that because over the last couple of days a few things didn't go well for him. That's the way it goes in racing and you just have to remain confident and keep doing what you are doing. That's what he's done and he was rewarded.

Keane stars as Amhran Na Bhfiann makes all in Curragh Cup

I'm delighted with him, he's coming forward and I'd say that's his trip. Two-and-a-half was just a bit too long for him. He's a good honest horse with a little bit of class and he keeps galloping. Colin gave him a great ride as well. I think he could come back here for the Irish Leger and I'd say he'll come forward. Those big colts take a bit of getting ready when they've had time off, and he was off a long time.

New career high for dual-purpose Effernock Fizz

She's been a revelation for us. She's run in a nice handicap here for the past two years and I said to myself there's no group horse in it this year to beat her as last year she was beaten by Mighty Blue and the year before by Kastasa. She was in off a nice light weight today. When she can get to the front and bowl along she's very hard to peg back, especially on that good ground. It's the first time in a long time we've got good to firm ground for her. Niall gave her an absolute peach of a ride and we're delighted with her. Mark Gallagher couldn't ride her today but to be fair to him he told Niall how to ride her. She's entered for the Grade 3 Grimes Hurdle on Thursday and we'll see how she comes out of this. She was fourth in it last year and if she's okay she'll go for it again. I'm delighted for Tom Sheridan because he owns her and bred her himself. It's great for him.

Emporio sheds maiden tag with decisive late burst

He has loads of ability. In fairness Gavin gave him a peach, he came down through them and the more trouble he got into the more he was loving it. He was fifth in an Irish Guineas so he should be winning an auction maiden and in fairness he won it very impressively. He's in an awkward position as it's hard to find a handicap for him, he'd have big weights in them, so I suppose we might go back in Stakes company with him.
