Cork Tue, 26th Sep, 2023  Bonbon She had a nice run first time out here earlier in the year and at Naas the last day, seemed to hang on good ground. The ground today probably helped her a lot and she did it nicely. She jumped, travelled and seemed to be comfortable the whole way today. She is a fast filly and as she handled that ground well, you'd imagine she'll run again over the next few weeks. Sean Corby, representing

Curragh Sun, 24th Sep, 2023  Magellan Strait It's a fantastic win. A great run and a great ride from Hugh,. He's not been the most consistent horse in the world but when he runs his race he generally runs a good race. Hugh got a great tune out of him today. He stays very well and stamina has always been his thing. That's what he did today, he outstayed them. I'm delighted for Ray, he bred the horse. He's run some very good races and he's had a few disappointing runs in the middle of it. It's a big day today for everyone. Hugh's instructions were to go forward, get a nice position, and make sure that stamina counted and to go out on his sword. He committed at the bottom of the straight and he kept galloping. The second horse ran a great race, carrying a lot of weight, two weeks after the Leger. It was a great run, he got a lovely run around, and I'm very proud of his run again.

Curragh Sun, 10th Sep, 2023  Lumiere Rock Lumiere Rock was running consistently well in real good company all season. She was just beaten in Ascot and just beaten in France the last day. She really did deserve her win in Group 2 level and won today like a filly that will hold her own in Group 1 company as she gets older. She has two obvious targets for the autumn, one in France on Arc day and one in the fillies race in Ascot on British Champions Day. We’ll see how she pulls up and she’ll tell us which way we go. She’s an exciting filly and will hold her own in either of those two big races. we think that potentially she can win a Group 1, so whether that is later this year or next year she’s a very solid consistent filly. She’s a joy to train and I’m sure to own for Michael.

Tipperary Sun, 3rd Sep, 2023  Caracal It's great to get our first winner for Al Shaqab (Racing) - we haven't had many runners for them and it's great to get the first win. He had been working smartly at home, but had been off the track for a long time so today was very much about getting him started. I thought it was a good performance against some good solid horses. He obviously had a hold-up in France, was off the track for an extended period of time with an injury and we have him for the last few months. We've liked him since he arrived, he will head for stakes level and is a nice horse going forward. He was a little keen and fresh in the race, I think he'll stay further and there is a Listed race in Cork over a mile which he could potentially go to, but we'll see how he pulls up first.
