Curragh Sat, 12th Aug, 2023  Bucanero Fuerte He was very impressive. We had him here 10 days ago doing a piece of work and Robson (Aguiar) got off him and said to me 'this is the best horse I've ever rode'. He was definitely correct in that one,. He's a serious horse. That's three runs and three wins here, he's the horse of a lifetime. I'd say it'll be the National Stakes now and I don't think he'll have any problem stepping up to seven furlongs. He would prefer an ease in the ground but he has won on good ground. The ground today would be a bit easier than the last day. He was very impressive in his maiden here on heavy ground but it's not an issue for him as he's won on quick ground as well. It's unbelievable and it's hard to explain it. Robson is a master at picking horses at the sales.

Curragh Sun, 2nd Jul, 2023  Bucanero Fuerte He’s a tough horse. We took a chance running him today quick after Ascot and he didn’t let us down. Robson (Aguair, assistant trainer) said he was on fire during the week and we had no other option only to go for it. He’s entered in the Phoenix Stakes and he could go to France, we are not sure yet. We’ll give him a bit of a break now. He’s a big backward horse and we are not going to rush him. He’s had two quick runs. We’ll definitely step him up in trip as that’s what won it for him today. We made plenty of use of him as we knew he would see it out. He likes a bit of dig in the ground and if anything it was a bit quick for him today.

Curragh Sat, 27th May, 2023  Unquestionable We're delighted with him. We felt he'd appreciate the step up, it was big ask to throw him in over five first time in a Stakes race, he's going to get even further than this probably. Ryan was very happy with him. He went to the line very strong. It's very hard to beat a run and he had a good run. He looks like a Coventry horse.

Naas Sun, 21st May, 2023  River Tiber I'm delighted with him. Obviously, he made good progress from Navan and he just needed that as well,. Navan was tough, soft ground, there wouldn't have been much of an edge put on him but that will leave a lovely edge on him. Ryan was delighted with him, he said he got a little bit lonely and idle in the last half a furlong, but we couldn't be happier with him. He had progressed plenty without us really having to chase him. We thought this race would bring him the rest of the way and if everything stays well we should be able to let him coast into Ascot now. We have a choice at Ascot. Little Big Bear is going to run next week, over six at Haydock, and he would have the option of going to the Jersey over seven if Little Big Bear went to the Commonwealth Cup. This horse is going to come forward again, he's still a little bit tubby but he's coming. It will depend on where Little Big Bear goes. It always looked like he'd get seven. Ryan said today he was surprised that he quickened as much as he did.

Naas Sun, 21st May, 2023  River Tiber I was very happy and very happy that we ran him. He hadn't been asked to do anything off the bridle at home, then he went to Navan and won very easily in soft ground so he probably doesn't know a lot. It was good strong pace today on good ground and before Ascot it's very important that they do that. Ryan had to catch a hold of him and make him get down and stretch, he would have learned an awful lot and he was very happy with him. We were delighted. I thought that he mightn't even come off the bridle as he shows loads at home. Ger's horse (Tourist) is obviously a good horse, he took him off the bridle. Ger's was second to one of ours here the last day and we liked him as well. He's a horse to look forward to. We thought he would be a Coventry horse. We have three Wootton Bassetts, it's the first time we've had them, and two of the colts are very good. It's unusual that two colts were good out of the three. He's always shown loads but very much always on the bridle doing his work but before you go to Ascot you have to take them off it and teach them. Hopefully that's the job done for him now.
