Curragh Sun, 9th Aug, 2020  Lucky Vega He was good. That's Mr Zhang's first Group 1 winner worldwide. I'm absolutely delighted, for the horse and it's great for Mr Zhang,. He's a nice horse going forward and Shane said he's getting quicker. He probably needed it the last day because he had won his maiden without getting into a battle. The last day when he got into a bit of a battle it just hardened him up. He was much more streetwise and on his work at home he had really started to come to himself. We thought he was working well but you never know until you go racing and everyone said this was a strong renewal. We'll have to sit down and think now but Shane said we'd probably be thinking about the Middle Park. I think he'll get seven as well. Last year was all about the fillies so it's great this year to come up with a good colt.

Naas Wed, 22nd Jul, 2020  Tasalka She had the rating to win, had been working nicely and loved the little ease in the ground. We'll see if we can get a bit of black-type with her, that's the target. I'm very pleased. I'd say that was a good maiden. With fillies at this time of year you are trying to start off and get winning brackets with them first and then see if you can progress. She ran some very good races last year and that's why she is a highly rated filly. I'd be very hopeful of getting black-type with her.

Curragh Fri, 10th Jul, 2020  Carrytheone He’s improving all the time. He’s a big horse and is mentally a bit immature. Shane has done a good job on him. We’ve the hood on him as he’s a bit keen at home, a bit buzzy, but he’s starting to relax into it now. I think whatever he does this year, he’ll be even better next year. The syndicate is from Melbourne and I met them when I was over in Australia. Lope de Vega was doing well over there, so I had this fella to sell to them. It’s their first winner in Ireland and I know they were all looking at the race, so I’m thrilled for them.

Fairyhouse Sun, 5th Jul, 2020  Timemakesitfine We were doing the pre-training for Denis and once COVID happened Denis had 12 ready to go and five ended up in our place nearly ready to go. It was more through necessity than want that they are with me.

Leopardstown Wed, 1st Jul, 2020  Cadillac It’s great to be back and to come back with a winner is even better.

Naas Mon, 8th Jun, 2020  Lucky Vega You would have to be happy with him. He never came off the bridle at home and Shane said he was very green throughout the race. He was on the grass once or twice at home but that was it and they were only steady bits,.
