Quotes on Givemethebeatboys (IRE)

It's great to kick off the day with a Group 3 winner. He was very professional out there and he out battled the other horses the whole way to the line. He was very impressive when he won at Navan, a furlong down you'd think 'how is this horse going to win?' and he put his head down and galloped the whole way to the line. He hated the ground that day and was green. He's learned an awful lot from that and will learn an awful lot from today, he'll be even more competitive the next day when we go to Ascot.

Quotes on Bid For Chester (IRE)

He's a very genuine little horse. The syndicate are local to me and I'm delighted for them. He ran well in he Madrid, I actually thought we had a bit in hand there but he ran into one. We took a chance today coming back in trip. If I didn't bring him here I had to bring him somewhere else to work him so I said I'd run for the money and get a pipe opener. He'll probably go to Navan for the Listed race (Committed Stakes) next Saturday, all going well. He's been tipping away in big pots and we were a little bit unlucky in one of the big sales races at the backend of the year, we just didn't get a clear run. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards with him.

Quotes on His Majesty (IRE)

He did it lovely, he's a lovely big sleepy horse,. They went a good gallop, it was a good race. Seamus gave him a chance and he came home very well. Seamus said he had loads of speed but he was relaxed, he said when he clicked he found plenty. He's like a four-year-old, a big mature horse. I'd say he'll have no problem going six but I wouldn't think five is a problem either. I'd say he can do either. We are just trying to get them out, we've a lot of horses to run and we are trying to get runs into them. We are learning on the track about them. You always try to get two runs before Ascot but it's hard enough to do it here because there aren't many races. It's a big advantage if you can. Wherever we can get him out again, we'll try. Wayne was very happy with his horse (Unquestionable), he said he was a bit green in the middle but came home well too.

Quotes on Military (GB)

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.

Quotes on My Mate Alfie (IRE)

Colin was excellent, he knows the horse from home. He rode him like a champion jockey should ride him. He produced him on the line and the horse will come on immensely maturity-wise. Austin Whelan, who owns the horse, is an Irishman that lives in London. He's a gentleman and we are delighted for him, hopefully it is the first of many for us. He has a few horses here, there and everywhere, but he has a couple with us. His first couple of runs have been good, but he will only get better mentally and he will get great confidence out of that. He wants a little bit of a cut, the ground is beautiful.

Quotes on Tarsus (IRE)

He is a horse that is improving all the time. You could say he was unlucky here the last night, things went wrong and he got hampered up the straight a bit. I didn't think we would beat Harry's Bar, but there was good prize money. We thought we would have a crack. There's another conditions race here in a month's time and he might run in that. We'll take it from there as it comes.

Quotes on Lia Fail (IRE)

Wesley said she is still a little green, but he said he didn't have to go for the whip with her. It got very close, but the handicapper has it near enough right. There was very little distance between any of them. She's entered for next week in another rated race (Cork on Wednesday), it is the same conditions as this one so we will wait and see how we go on. We'll see how she is and we might have another go. I'm delighted for Wesley, always trying to get him back on the right road. He is such a nice young fella. When he was with us, I couldn't say enough about him. He deserves everything he gets.

Quotes on Money Dancer (IRE)

She behaved herself better here than she does at home. She’s very bouncy and you have to be wary about her, but she’s always showed us plenty. We got her at the backend of last year and the couple of bits of work that she’s done we’ve liked her. We hadn’t really dipped her because she was so bouncy and I wasn’t sure what she would find, but she found plenty. Colin thought she could go another furlong. We’ll try and go for a Listed race with her and see how we get on. The two-year-old (Rowdy Yeats) ran well in the first race. He was just a little bit weak in the last furlong which you would kind of expect. He surprised us how forward he came and, everything we asked him to do, he did it. He was probably beaten by a good horse.

Quotes on Navassa Island (IRE)

She's a filly we've always liked and I'm delighted for her owner Abdullah. He bought this filly after her debut run at Naas,. We went to Ascot thinking we had a live one and things just didn't happen for her, with the way the race panned out. That can happen with a two-year-old, being so inexperienced going there. Things didn't work out the last day again but she's come out of that, back to six and she's finished out her race lovely. Dylan gave her a lovely ride. She looks like a filly that will continue to improve, she doesn't over-race and she settles and relaxes. She came home well and we're delighted for everyone. Dylan said he was going to get her to relax, get her behind something, and if he was happy with what was in front of him he was just going to follow. She's in the Debutante but it might be a little bit soon because she's actually starting to grow a little bit. We'll see what happens, we might step up in grade and stay at six. A faster run race might suit her. She's has black-type already, she's won her maiden, so now it's about trying to win a stakes race. Something like the Firth Of Clyde could be a race for her, she handles a little ease in it. She should be able to go and win her stakes race, she's a sister to a Group 1 winner (Lezoo) so it's all about adding to that now.

Quotes on Shandy (IRE)

I thought she might have been an Ascot two-year-old this time last year but she had a bit of an issue so spent a long time out in the field. It was a rush to get her ready to run so she had no foundation going to the Curragh last October. Colin (Keane, then jockey ) liked her, said she was weak but it was just that everything was a rush getting her to run. This is Seamie's first winner for me, he comes in a couple of times a week and had ridden winners (three) for my father. He, Joey (Sheridan) and Andy (Slattery) will all ride for me this year.

Quotes on Vassula Ryden (IRE)

The run in Galway educated her a lot. She ran a lovely race there and she came on a lot from that. Another median auction race seemed the obvious thing to do. I thought it might have been a bit sharp for her, but she hit the line well. She did everything well and is from a lovely family. Steve Fisher owns her and he has the mare, so hopefully it is onwards and upwards. That will probably be it for this year and we will try and get a bit of black-type next year. We'll educate her because she is lovely and lazy. She is very, very lazy and does nothing at home. She is a lovely filly to train and she will teach herself as she goes along. Nothing excites her. She was very professional today, but she is just a lovely, lazy filly and every race will educate her more.
