Quotes on Peckham Springs (IRE)
He did it well in first-time cheekpieces. I think that is the first time he has travelled. He would run in snatches and drop himself out when it suits him. Maybe the cheekpieces lit him up a bit. Paddy (O'Hanlon) said he travelled all the way there and jumped well. He said he had the race put to bed at the second last. He had plenty of horse under him. He'll keep going for the summer, he wants good ground. We'll see can we win another with him.

Quotes on Pana To Milan (IRE)
She was always running some kind of races but was never finishing out and needs to get things her own way,. We never miss a day with her at home but I suppose she has struck real fitness and strength. We moved yards recently and have our own well water now which might be the small thing that has made the big thing. She has two strides instead of one when the ground isn't right for her and needs it perfect and to go her own way. I'm delighted for Liam McKenna. The first time I bumped into the (Leave Him Alone) syndicate was when I won on a horse called Homer for Gerry Cully in a Guide Dogs Charity Race at Mallow a long time ago now. It was about 40 or 50 years ago and I was like John Wayne when I won!

Quotes on Royal Time (IRE)
I'm delighted with that. I don't really follow the point-to-points, but I was asking Karl Thornton who is a good young lad and he said that this lad could ride. He was right. It was a very cool ride. It's his first winner on the track but he has seven winners this season pointing. The horse jumped very well, he just made a mess of the last but stayed on well.

Quotes on Chainofconsequence (IRE)
He travelled very well throughout the race and at the top of the hill I thought he was still going to win. Then your man (Ocodango Boy) passed him, but he galloped to the line afterwards. We were lucky, maybe, but you never know what might have happened from the back of the last because he did gallop to the line. He deserved that, he has been running well without getting over the line. He has been placed a few times. We never actually thought he would go on real good ground. He has won on bottomless ground twice, but we ran him in Limerick on good ground and he finished third and actually ran real well. Adam (Ryan), who is leading him up there today, rode him and said he loved the ground. It is after working out well. We will give him a little break now as he's had a few races fairly quickly - Tramore or if there is a race back here. It was a long drive up but shorter going back!
