Curragh Sun, 24th Sep, 2023  Gasper De Lemos He had a lovely run the first time. Obviously he'll be very happy going back up to a mile and he'll be a middle-distance horse next year,. It's tough out there and they have to stay to get it. He's probably a Racing Post horse more than a Dewhurst horse. He'll get further, he's like all those Justifys when they go up in distance they grow a leg. He's a very good mover so I'm surprised he handles the ground. He's a lovely actioned horse.

Naas Thu, 14th Sep, 2023  Military He was working like a lovely colt. We knew that was probably plenty short for him but it was to get him out and get him started. He will come forward lovely from that. You'd be very happy with him. He could maybe go to the Middle Park or the (Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc) Lagardere. We knew he was a six/seven furlong type horse and he will be probably be a miler next year. We just needed to get him started. Dylan said he was very green, but he would have learned a lot there today.

Curragh Sun, 10th Sep, 2023  Henry Longfellow the pedigree of this horse is second to none. She (Minding) was the best mare we ever trained and by Dubawi was the best out-cross that she could go to. He travels and he quickens and that is very difficult for other horses to handle. We knew this horse (Henry Longfellow) had run a couple of weeks ago and his mam handled the ground no problem. Everyone has been very happy with him and he looks a very special horse. His mam won over a mile, a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half. It’s very possible (that could be his last run this season) but we’ll see. City Of Troy hadn’t run for a good while and was going to improve from the run. Sometimes in that ground they can have a hard time. He would die on his feet for you today and we didn’t want to do that to him once the ground turned. I had said to the lads that we wouldn’t run City Of Troy on soft ground. We took a chance in Newmarket and got away with it. He’s too beautiful a mover. Ryan was adamant that it was closer to soft than good to yielding.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Broadhurst We had him going to Ascot for the Britannia and then he got injured. Then he came back and he wasn't working well,. We knew that he was on a very good mark, but he wasn't working well. Ryan rode him to feel his way. He gave him a chance, they went fast and when he straightened up he took off. After he ran in Naas we were very happy and he went lame for a while, so we had to get him back and he wasn't working the same way he was. Obviously, he went asleep, but he was in off a good mark. He did very well to win and he gave him a great ride. They went fast up front. I thought seven around there, and he was drawn wide enough, that it was going to be tough.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Adelaide River I'm delighted. Ryan said if he had a choice of 10 or 14 (furlongs) he'd definitely go 10 on him because he relaxes, but he does quicken,. He's a lovely big horse and we've always viewed him as a next year horse. We always thought he was kind of like Duke Of Marmalade, as he's after competing in big ones and getting very close in them but he's such a big horse that he's definitely going to have to be a way better horse next year.

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Auguste Rodin Aidan has done everything and he has done it probably five, six or seven times. He (Auguste Rodin) has obviously had an up and down year but, when he has turned up, he has been very good. He's just the most beautiful-moving horse and he was in a real good place today. The reality is probably going from a Derby to an Irish Derby and then a King George, not many horses can do it. Maybe he wasn't in the right place that day (in the King George), but he has beaten a real good lineup here. I'm delighted, I'm really happy. He has proved today that he is a very good horse beating the older ones. He has just always shown so much right from the start. I'm just delighted that everyone at Ballydoyle was able to get him back and show him at his best today. Nice ground is important to him and he just floated around here, he's a beautifully balanced horse. He just did everything perfectly. To come back and do it again, there is a lot of satisfaction in that. I have to thank Michael (Tabor) for having the confidence in everybody to relax and calm down and come back. Ryan gave him an incredible ride. We're so grateful to so many of the team that made it happen. He was always a brilliant horse, all the way along, from the first day he worked. He travels like a dream and has an awful lot of natural speed. He's a little bit lazy when he gets there. A couple of times this year it just all went totally wrong. All the ducks went against him, you usually want them all to go with you, but it all wen

Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023  Diego Velazquez We're very happy. We liked the second horse a lot and we knew we needed something to take him and stretch him a little bit,. They didn't go very fast for the first half and turned it on from halfway, so he learned a lot. Ryan was delighted, he said he had to catch hold of him and make him learn. He's still a baby. We were surprised the first day that he ran in the Curragh how babyish he was, he never took a hold of the bridle. Today he was green as well, but a lot better. We think the race will leave him in a very good place. I'd imagine he'll go for the Racing Post Trophy, that's what we thought he would do. We think he's going to step up loads from it but we were very happy with what he did today. The plan was to come here and then go to the Racing Post. We did it with Auguste Rodin last year, but we knew this horse had to learn a lot more than Auguste did last year. He was extra green at the Curragh and we knew unless he was going to learn a lot this time it was going to be very hard to pitch him into a good race after that. We think he will.
