Quotes on Brides Hill (IRE)

She was very good. I was concerned, as I thought the ground was gone for her, to be honest. She was foot perfect, she has had issues with her jumping in the past but she’s become very good now. Keith (Donoghue) has done a lot of schooling with her and it’s unfortunate he can’t be on her, but Sean does a lot of work with these horses too and it’s nice to see him getting a day. At Cheltenham, we took her out because of the ground, but isn’t it great to win here. She’s a talented mare. The ground at Cheltenham this year was a bit of an extreme and it wouldn’t have worked. I’m glad we didn’t run her because we wouldn’t be here if we did. It’s been a brilliant season. All the horses are running great and that was my 70th jumps winner for the season. It’s fantastic, 62 was my best, and that was the target.

Quotes on Hauturiere (FR)

it was another fine tactical ride by Danny, I thought. They went off very fast and anything that was up there early on couldn't stay the pace. It took a lot of getting and she's shown us that she's a stayer. She was very keen early on in her career but now she's learning how to settle and how to race. She might get an entry in a handicap at Cheltenham or maybe wait for Fairyhouse. We'll see what rating she gets and you could look at the Martin Pipe or Coral Cup.

Quotes on Limerick Lace (IRE)

She's a fine big mare and jumps well. She needed the 7lb to win, to be fair, and he gave her a smashing ride. It's a nice pot to win. She always has those mares' races and we'll see where we go now.

Quotes on Riviere D'etel (FR)

she'll probably be very hard to place as I'd say going right-handed really suited her. Jack said she loved the ground, he said she stayed very well and we're delighted with her. I don't know where I'll go with her but I'd love to go right-handed. Cheltenham (in March) wouldn't be out of the question, I'll talk to Noel (Moran, owner) and see what they want to do, but it just mightn't be the right place for her.

Quotes on Allegorie De Vassy (FR)

That was a better performance, especially considering how badly she jumped over the first four fences. She just wasn’t herself and it took her until about the fourth last before she really started to jump and then she got into a rhythm and flew. We might have been lucky that the two in front took each other on. It might not have been as flashy as we thought it was. I’m happy enough with how she’s run, and she’ll go for the Mares’ Chase at Cheltenham.

Quotes on Malina Girl (IRE)

She gave us a little bit of a scare. She just got a little bit lit up in the race. We put cheekpieces on her because she didn't travel that well in her bumpers but she got bumped around on one of the bends and it got her a bit lit up. She jumped well and will learn plenty from today. It wasn't a bad performance, it wasn't a super race but it's nice to win it all the same. We'll have a look at the calendar now and see what there is for her.

Quotes on Must Be Obeyed (IRE)

she was brilliant. I've said from day one that the hardest part is just getting her out there as she's very temperamental. She has her own way of doing things, we work around her and it works. That race was made for her, I wouldn't normally be keen on running them back too quick, especially a novice three-miler chaser, but she seemed well and the conditions of today's race were very suitable. Those rated novice chases are just brilliant. We'll try and look for something similar, depending on what the handicapper does.

Quotes on Sainte Dona (FR)

That was some exhibition. She had a lovely run in Limerick, but she takes a bit of time between her races as she's so hard on herself. We went back to Cork after she was second here and it was too soon. She jumps and stays, that's her forte. She won a maiden hurdle by a similar distance (25 lengths) and to win a beginners' chase by 26 lengths is some going. She's going to get better and she'll get more black-type over fences by the same she's finished. The plan was to try and get the beginners' out of the way and she's got that done. She seems to be at home on that ground, but she's not slow either. For one that travels so well on the heavy ground here, she finds the deep sand at home hard work. I put in a carpet gallop this year at home and it's after transforming her, she zips up it. It keeps her fresh and well.

Quotes on Western Zara (IRE)

They went an unmerciful gallop! She was very good at home jumping-wise and she jumped great. She had lots of schooling done with Johnny Berry when she was a youngster and she seems to be better over a fence. It was a good effort in the ground for the pace they went - it was proper winter ground and she showed a great attitude. I was wanting a lead but Richie had one for as long as he could, and couldn't take her back. We're living in the present with her and that's why she went over fences now. Hopefully she will be a nice mare for fences for the season and she has won on nice ground over hurdles.
