Quotes on Poetic Sound (IRE)

it's a super result, the horse is very green and will only improve. He wouldn't want the ground to be as deep as that. He'll be a beautiful horse next year, that's what we're looking forward to; when he strengthens up, he'll be a horse. I don't know how busy he'll be this year as it's all about next year. .most importantly it's a great result for the owner/breeder John Keaney; he owned Yavana's Pace and she's in the pedigree. We're delighted for William Flood as well, who stands Poet's Word as he is a long time family friend.

Quotes on Fixation (IRE)

It all went wrong for him in Galway at the start. He was messy. He was messy again today at the start, but he missed the start in Galway. He got back in behind a wall of horses. Ben said he never got a clear run on them so he'd an easy race. He came back and he seemed in great form at home,. This was the next logical step. I think a-mile-and-a-quarter, a-mile-and-a-half is good for this horse. He's not slow, but around here you need a bit of pace and he won very well. I think we'll wait until Champions Weekend now. There's two races there. A mile-and-a-quarter handicap at the Curragh and a-mile-and-five at Leopardstown, so we'll target one of those.

Quotes on Touch The Moon (IRE)

He was very unlucky in Galway, he was probably going to be placed in the race on the Friday and got interfered with late on. He wasn't beaten overly far on kind of poached ground which wouldn't be ideal for him. It was a small entry for this, and he had only ever run once on the all-weather. He's done it quite well, so I'm delighted for the lads. He ran in Leopardstown and made absolutely ridiculous fractions that day in front in the ladies' race and still ran a great race. He's a great money-spinner and he's very honest. He will go back over hurdles - he wants top of the ground, and he never really got it over hurdles. He was third behind Talk The Talk in a maiden (Limerick). He's a nice horse. He's a very happy horse and he likes getting out to the field and maybe just enjoys our smaller establishment. We'll go as long as the ground is fairly quick. When the ground kind of goes on us, we will stop with him.

Quotes on Tribal Star (IRE)

He was riding placed horses and everything, it just wasn't happening for him. I was feeling sorry for him, especially as a young fella who has ridden out his claim, they struggle a little bit starting off. They don't turn into bad riders overnight. Unfortunately, some people do think that. He's a good kid and a very good kid to ride. He gave the horse a smashing ride and I'm delighted for the lads. He is a good horse and he ran some cracking races in England. We were very disappointed in Killarney the last day, I just couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe I brought him back too quickly after the Northumberland Plate. We just gave him a bit of time off. He got a little gallop up here the other day and that was the only thing he got since. He danced on the ground and is definitely a lovely horse. I'd love to jump him over a hurdle at some stage. There's a good pot in Southwell in the Racing League and he'll get into that if we want to go there, I think it is a mile and a-half. he could end up going there. He (Caffrey) rode out his claim very quickly, he was second in the apprentice title two years on the trot. In this game, as we all know, nobody gives you a clap on the back for being second. He has had to work very hard. I had a good chat with him yesterday. Lads start second guessing and it just doesn't happen, you've just got to relax and ride your usual race. Let it happen and it will happen. Look it happens to good footballers, they second guess when they are having a bad ru

Quotes on Rock Of Claremont (IRE)

He did it well. He's a horse that's improved with every run. He needed the extra furlong, the way he was coming home at Dundalk. He's a big horse and he just took the time to develop. He did it quite nicely and, when Billy got to the front, he wasn't doing an awful lot so hopefully that means he has more in the tank. He's still a big baby and the cheekpieces just helped him focus.

Quotes on Quatre Bras (IRE)

He is (more than capable on his day) and here suits him. I don't know why - I don't think his form is better here necessarily but, the way the races work out on the flat track, he has a little gear and he can use it. The handicapper has been very fair to him throughout the summer. He has kept on dropping him and he had a chance off that mark. He just had to do things right. He can get himself a little bit out of his ground early. Billy is riding out of his skin and it is great.

Quotes on Cooley's Mist (IRE)

He prefers a little bit of ease. Maybe two mile in Galway could be a possibility, if he gets an ease. . He's in here next week as well over a mile and seven. If it doesn't rain, he won't be going anywhere. Chris was good on him, I have to say.
