Van Gogh illustrates his ability in Curragh

Elysium swoops to annex Group 3 for Meade

Some people might be surprised by that but I’m not. She’s been showing me that all the time at home and I thought we’d nothing to lose by running here as if she got into the shake up she’d be worth a few quid. Billy said he got a bump coming out of the gate and it lit her up a bit. He was able to stick her in and get her relaxed again, and he couldn’t believe how she picked up. I own a piece of her myself along with two friends. We bought four two-year-olds with the idea of selling them, so I would be surprised if the money comes that we don’t sell. It’s a while since we had a Group-race winner on the Flat, but we didn’t have too many runners.

Super six for A Step Too Far

This was the long-term target up to six weeks ago. She’s answered every call and there’s nothing I can say about her now. She’s just incredibly tough. She was (rated) 48 when she started off and has just got better and better. We do nothing with her at home between races. You just couldn’t because if you put a saddle on her she just wants to go one hundred miles an hour. She keeps herself fit and we just try and keep a lid on her as much as possible and do her running on the track. We put the cheekpieces on today because she idled a small bit in Cork over the six and we said to Adam to just let her roll. She always seems to have another bit even at the line she’s not finished. We’re looking at the Mercury Stakes at Dundalk over five now as a possibility.

Dearg Jazz another for McAteer

She took a couple of runs to find her feet and she ran a real nice race in Cork the last day. She’s still a bit green but today we said we’d make plenty of use of her as ideally she probably wants further. He’s one of the riders in form and gave her a great ride. I thought she was beat twice and she put her head down and kept at it.

Keane edges closer in jockeys' title race

She’s improved from run to run. The last day she was still green and ran around.

O'Brien and Heffernan Order up doubles

Dawn Patrol seals treble for O'Brien and Heffernan

Lady Savanah swoops at Headquarters

She’s been consistent all year and it’s nice to get her head in front again. It didn’t look likely for a lot of the race today. She didn’t travel great but she has plenty of ability when things fall right for her. We were lucky to get Dylan in a race like that and he gave her a very good ride. She’s very versatile ground wise so we’ll find something for her again.
