Quotes on Enniskerry (IRE)

He is 10 but has low mileage on the clock, is a serious work-horse and has a great appetite for the job. I don't know how many people asked me was he going to win today and I just said 'yes' - I've never been more confident about a horse winning than I was today. I made a mistake last year by running him in the Galway Plate as he is a two-miler. He was bang there jumping the last fence but is so genuine that he emptied the tank and we had to leave him until this year. . He will now get a mark and needs one more run to qualify to run in one of the better handicaps. He might go to Galway for the amateur race as he and Finny (Maguire) get on great. I have the Cesarewitch in the back of my head as well and the further he goes the better, as he is a galloper. . It was a good performance and without saying he is a superstar, he will definitely pay his way. We'll keep him for the flat, there is plenty of life in the old dog yet.

Quotes on Telecon (GB)

That's brilliant, he seems to be a bit stronger this year. Ricky gave him a great ride, we were blessed it was the first race as he does want a bit of decent ground. I was a little bit worried about that. We think highly of him and it's great to win it. Pat McCarthy is a local man and he's the best owner you could wish for, he really deserves it. He'll jump a fence in time, Ian McCarthy had him when he finished third in a point-to-point and highly recommended him to us.

Quotes on Kala Conti (FR)

She didn’t lose much in defeat the last day, only that she got beat. We’re happy today. I’d say she likes a good gallop, she’ll stay very well.

Quotes on Man O Work (IRE)

After his fall in Leopardstown (at the Dublin Racing Festival in February) his confidence level has come right back through the roof. Things didn’t go to plan today, they often don’t in these big fields, and we had to not panic and go to plan B but it’s worked out well. Plan A was to be handier. I gave him a squeeze and he winged the second last and the last. He’s an amazing little horse. He’s still a bit novicey and is still only a five-year-old. This winter went horribly for him, the ground went against him and things didn't work out. We pulled the plug, he had a lovely run when finishing second in a flat race in Tramore and this race was the plan. He likes Listowel and finished second in the Lartigue Hurdle last year but last Monday I was down here and we were debating whether to run, with all the rain that fell. We walked the track this morning and with fresh ground, decided to take our chance. He missed the break and we were hoping to be closer to the pace, but plan B came into operation and Cian didn't panic. Trainers make plans but jockeys have to be allowed use plan B and they are the ones who win races. He was brilliant, is based with Jessica Harrington and rides out for me in the afternoon. I think, eventually, we will have a crack at a nice Flat race somewhere along the line with Man O Work.

Quotes on Brucio (GB)

I thought JJ had her in a great position and she jumped very well for a lightly raced mare. There were a couple of hares in front and luckily they have just gone a bit too hard. She’s won well in the end. She’s been steadily improving and won in Catterick the last day which was a good piece of race selection by Anthony (Bromley). We are in a different ball game today, but it has given her a bit of confidence. She has a wee touch of class about her, and it couldn’t have gone any better on the day. We have plenty of options now and we could think about the mares’ novice in Cheltenham or a good handicap somewhere. I was a wee bit worried about the ground today and I think she will handle nicer ground.

Quotes on Dollar Value (USA)

He's a horse with such an engine, if you can get into his head, you've a chance. Down the hill the last time I got him rolling and I was actually sitting sweet on him then going to two out. He's always been tricky at the start and refused one day here before. I always go down to the start with him, if I wasn't there he wouldn't go at all. He's a stable stalwart and you don't want to lose horses like that. We'll see what happens with the claims.

Quotes on Helvic Dream (IRE)

Colin said he was going to sit a bit closer and have one go at him (Broome). He felt he went too soon for him the last day and he felt he did again today. He has an electrifying turn of speed but lasted it out. It was a brilliant ride. He’s been a pleasure to train and doesn’t take a lot of work. There have been plenty of people interesting in buying him but thankfully the owners have kept faith in me as I felt he could win a Group One. I’ve had a number of horses placed in Guineas, and a fourth in the Epsom Derby, but that is my first Group One. I can die happy now!. They are so easy to train compared to jumpers. I’m always joking with Flat trainers that they are getting away with murder. You don’t have to train Flat horses to stay or to jump and there is not nearly as many injuries. I’ve always said that Sheikh Mohammed should have sent Willie (Mullins) 200 horses years ago and got him out of the way!. I was afraid to even dream about it (winning a Group 1). I’m thrilled and it means a lot.

Quotes on Drumgill (IRE)

He got a bit of confidence after winning the last day and just got away with the ground, he probably wouldn't want it any softer than that. . He was probably getting a bit lonesome in front. It helped that I didn't get bumped around, I got things easy so I was able to ride the race how I liked. It's a family operation and everyone contributes. It's not easy to produce winners of these kind of races on a regular basis, it takes a lot of doing and you have to work hard. We have good facilities, a variety of gallops, and can do everything at home. . This is a nice horse from the family of Constitution Hill and Menorah. He's been slow enough to get going but he's a raw five-year-old with a lot of talent and I'd be hoping that he'll make up into a nice horse over fences.

Quotes on Lieber Nicc (IRE)

Sadly the Schuster’s aren’t here today but part of the crew are. It’s great that he has won, he deserved to win one and hopefully he’ll progress now. I think the better ground helped him, he has got a bit of pace and is a nice horse. We have no major plan for him, but I’d say Listowel could be on the cards. The Schuster’s have a big connection with Listowel, so I’d say if there is something suitable there, that’s where he’ll go. We’d like to find something in between as well.

Quotes on Walhaan (IRE)

We said we were going to have one shot at him (Psalm) and we weren't going to do the donkey work today. Ben said 'I'll have one go at him' and it worked lovely. What a genuine horse to go to battle with, he's been very good. It is something that we would always be thinking about - swapping the headgear around and bits and pieces. We took the headgear off him there for a couple of runs and he ran a couple of crackers. I just felt the last day he was waiting a bit for them, so thinking about it during the week we said we would put the cheekpieces on. He only had them on once. We just put Ben up. Darragh (O'Sullivan) has done a brilliant job on him, he has done nothing wrong. We just said we would go for a bit more experience today in what we thought was going to be a tactical race. Ben said he moved beautifully down to the start, he said he gave him some feel. He said they went a true gallop and he said at the furlong pole he thought he had a chance. He didn't say he was going to win, but he thought he had a chance. He said he really battled for him then. I would say he'll come back here. We will let him freshen up again as he likes to be fresh. That's his career-high mark he is after winning off as an eight-year-old. From the horse's point of view, it is thumbs up to him. It is impressive. He is thriving on his work.

Quotes on Dame Rapide (IRE)

The ground was key to her today. She's been running well all year and she deserved that. She's a lovely honest mare and I think she's improving as she's getting older. Hopefully there is more to come from her and she'll jump a fence too in time. I might even look to England with her next, it depends on the ground here. Yielding ground is probably as slow as she'd want it. She did that well and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on me.
