The conditions suited him. He was officially well in and he did it well. He kept pulling it out, and stays well. He's been a great servant, and the best of luck to whoever gets him. He's done well for me. Ronan was brilliant on him, and gave him a real no nonsence ride.

J F Levins

After race at Dundalk Fri, 8th Jan, 2016 (1st)

I'm delighted. It was a copybook ride from Ronan. I fancied him and I thought he would win tonight. It's a nice way to start the year - start as you mean to go on!

After race at Dundalk Fri, 27th Nov, 2015 (1st)

Ronan (Whelan) gave him a peach of a ride last time and he needed it to get back in the swing of things. It did his confidence the world of good,. Donagh was very clever on him and he travelled everywhere. It's good to get him back. I'm delighted for Seamus and he deserves it. He's a big supporter of the yard and obviously we are indebted to him.

After race at Curragh Sun, 12th Oct, 2014 (1st)

I'd say they went very quick in front and the Curragh mile takes some getting. He's really sprinted clear and I'm only starting to work him out. I've 17 horses at the moment and have just got five yearlings.

J F Levins

After race at Galway Mon, 8th Sep, 2014 (1st)

He should be able to pick up a few more. I'm looking forward to campaigning him on the all-weather at Dundalk during the winter as I think that is where he excels. Maybe he will have another run on the turf before the ground goes.

Shukhov deserved that as he has been one of the busiest horses here over the winter but put blinkers on him for the first time today. He had been running well over 1m4f but coming back in trip today suited him and that's his second success here. Colin (son of Ger Keane who trains locally to Lyons) comes into us to ride work.

G M Lyons

After race at Dundalk Fri, 21st Dec, 2012 (1st)

he (Shukhov) was beaten in a few tight finishes in maidens and that was a long time overdue! He had a wind operation and he has come back good in the autumn and he has got his confidence back. If the handicapper isn't too hard on him he should be able to win another one or two over the winter. I'm delighted for Sean (Jones) who is a great supporter of the yard and nice to get him a winner just before Christmas.
