Quotes on Almaqam (GB)
Kieran was absolutely brilliant on him and has really got to know him. He is a horse who needs waking up and engaging, as he is so laid-back. I thought he gave him a peach of a ride. Fair play to the horse, as he hadn’t run for a long time and he dug deep. It is a sigh of relief too, as I have banged on about this horse for long enough now so it is great to finally do it. People were probably bored with me talking about him and not producing, so hopefully this is his year and we could aim high now. This is a seriously tough division and it won’t be easy wherever we go but he has bagged a big one now. This is my first winner in Ireland so at least I can come back with some confidence.

Quotes on Minnie Hauk (IRE)
We thought we'd be sitting second and Dylan got the second position so Ryan had to make a decision, he was either going to sit second on Dylan's inside, in behind Wayne, or pull back out of it in a way that he wouldn't have been boxed in. Obviously that's a decision Ryan had to make quickly and it was the right decision. It wasn't over-fast. We knew Joseph's filly was a good filly and Dylan gave her a very good ride. Ryan was very happy. He was out so he could go whenever he wanted. You couldn't be happier. She's one of those fillies that you're probably never going to see the best of her until the tempo is very strong and very high. She cruises through her races. The boss (John Magnier) asked Ryan where to go with her and he said to go to the Yorkshire Oaks. The boss said 'what about if we give her a break and train her for the Vermeille and give her a French Arc prep?'. All those things are open and we'll see how she is. I think she can do either of those things but if she's going to the French trial she'd have to have a couple of easy weeks. Obviously if she's going to York she wouldn’t have those couple of easy weeks. She had a very easy race today, I'd say. The tempo wasn't very strong so she should come out of it well. I'd imagine in the next week or that we'll have a fair idea but they are her two options. Looking at her she'd probably love York. She has a big stride and it's a Flat track too. Obviously the boss will decide with Derek and Michael.
