Dundalk Fri, 15th Nov, 2019  Spelga when he won the last day he got a bit of confidence from it. Ronan gave him a lovely ride, he stayed nice and cool on him and the gaps just appeared in time. He's a tough genuine little fella and he does what he does. We'll keep him going up here for a while anyway. I'm delighted for Paul as he had to be very patient with him. I bought him as a breeze-up horse last year and it just took him a while to get the hang of things. He was a weak horse, and weak minded, but he's getting a bit of confidence now. He's found a level that he can operate off and he's genuine.

Dundalk Fri, 15th Nov, 2019  Arcanears he's very game. He's had a couple of very good runs this year without having much luck. He always seemed to get a bad draw. He got galloped on top of one day in the Curragh and got the hind legs cut off him, we lost a good bit of time with him. We just ran out of time on the grass and the last day in Naas he came home well. I knew he had handled the surface here before. I'm delighted for Carol (Roper), she's been a great owner for us over all the years. She's so patient and the horses mean so much to her so I'm thrilled for her as she bred him as well. We'll keep going with him. It suited him tonight as they went very fast, took him off his feet early but he came home well.

Dundalk Fri, 15th Nov, 2019  Sampers Seven she's always shown a lot of pace. First time out she just did too much. Last time she got in behind and got dragged backed early in the race. Ronan came in last time and said he would have loved to be handier. She had a nice draw today and she's been learning with each run. She's very straight-forward and she'll strengthen more as well. It's nice to have got a bracket for her as a two-year-old and we'll see from there. I'd be thinking about putting her away now. Ronan was very good on her and she responded for him, she was game.

Dundalk Wed, 6th Nov, 2019  Spelga he’s a slow learner like myself! . He lacked enough weight for Ronan (Whelan) to ride him and Shane (Foley) has been lucky in those colours before and found a lovely slot there from a wide draw. That’s his trip and he handles the ground so we’ll keep him tipping away here over the winter.

Dundalk Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Surrounding She's a credit to herself and the people who bred her (the Newell's) because they've been game to keep her in training. You don't see too many six-year-old mares in training on the Flat,. She's obviously a very sound filly, a genuine filly, and she's just a pleasure to have around the place. For some reason she just took off this year and she never stopped improving. That's probably as good a performance as she's given all year. She's so adaptable to ride, you can do anything you like with her. Once we just land her here fit and well she does her job. She's been fantastic and it's exciting for the owners as they really enjoy their racing and take full benefit of it. I think we're going to go to Dubai with her. I think conditions out there will suit her. The way she finished out there tonight she's still fresh and has more mileage on the clock so we'll take our chance. The Balanchine would probably be a race that comes to mind, that's a Group 2. They are all fantastic races with huge prize-money. We'll get her out there and see how she takes it. I've always thought she'd be one that would love it out there from what we know about the place. She'd enjoy the sun on her back and she's easy to keep fit, so I think she'll fit in well to the team out there. We'd hope to have Simsir and Massif Central to travel with her. The plan at the moment is that the three would go.
