he's a star and he's a very genuine, consistent horse. If they were all as honest as him life would be very easy. He was off the track for a long time and has come on well from the run the last day. Not too many have won three Qualifiers and he'll go straight now to Lingfield. I must say Hazel (Wallace) looks after him and she does a super job. She rides work for us, she drives the box - she's a great girl. She's done an awful lot of work with him and he takes a lot of work. He's getting that bit older now that he takes a little bit more.

he's very good up here, very consistent. He loves the place and never runs a bad race. He won't go to Dubai as he didn't handle it last year but there isn't much here now for him. There are those all-weather championship races in England and we might head in that direction.

he (Captain Joy) loves it up here and never seems to run a bad race - he travels exceptionally well here. The plan coming here was this was going to be his last race (this year). I don't think there is a whole lot more for him & we'll probably put him away for a break now.

Captain Joy is a model of consistency and is in the Lincoln and we'll also put him in the Irish Lincoln. He needs good ground and in time we'll step him up (in trip) - he was giving weight to some smart horses there and is the sort of horse who always seems to get there.

The horses are running well and I must say a big thanks to the owners,. They have all been very patient as the horses needed good ground and they allowed me to run them here. The key to this horse is that he needs a good surface. Ronan gave him a good ride and we'll see what the handicapper does now. If there are races for him here he'll be back again.

I am very pleased and he was due a turn. The first two are decent and they have been knocking against each other a few times here. Ronan's three pound claim was a big help. He is a horse that needs good ground which he hasn't got all year. He is fit and well and we will keep him on the go here.

We've always thought a bit of him and he got into a bit of trouble here the last day,. He was green there among horses but Michael gave him a serious drive. He's very talented and should get more opportunities. He really made his mind up. We're thrilled and the owner will be very pleased. I'll get my turkey on Sunday now!
