Quotes on Little Queenie (IRE)

She's a legend. I had her entered a good few times in the last few weeks but jus tpulled her out because of the ground,. We said one way or the other she was going home after this. She'll go home to Christmas anyway and might comeback here before it finishes. . She'll keep going next year and if we got a bit of black-type next year the owner would be delighted. . She surprised me today, she's just tough.

Quotes on Stag Night (IRE)

I'm full-time with Willie who works me hard but gives me loads of opportunities. I had my first ride for him at Dundalk a few weeks ago and it was a grand start. I'm 16, from Waterford and am with Willie since October. My father Ollie keeps a few horses and has a few for point to points. The horse has bad feet but is a grand honest horse and the young lad was good on him. I think it was vital to take 10lb off to give him a chance in that ground. The young lad works hard, he is a great horse for the apprentices to ride and they all get their chances.

Quotes on So Majestic (IRE)

she had to win today to see what route we'd go down and I'm actually going off on my honeymoon for two weeks so she'll have a two-week break! . When I get back I'll line something up again - she'd go on firm ground but she'll go on softer as well, her preference though would be this ground. we always thought an awful lot of her and she was heavily back the first day (last March) but ran with the choke out and held her breath. Chris (Hayes) rides all her work at home and got on her the next day and she did the same so we were both very disappointed. We decided to drop her back to five (furlongs) to teach her how to breathe and how to run a race. She had been a breeze-up horse in my yard and obviously learned to only do two furlongs but the penny is after dropping and she's coming together. He (Leigh Roche, winning jockey) had no cover today and I thought we'd be in bother getting the five-and-a-half here but she didn't.

Quotes on Dontspoilasale (IRE)

He's a nice little horse, he's straightforward, tough and genuine,. We thought he would run well and we're delighted. The syndicate are all local to the yard and it's lovely for them to have a winner, they're delighted. Hopefully he can improve off that and we'll see what the handicapper does. We would love to come back here later in the year for the Birdcatcher. We'll keep an eye on the ground, he wouldn't want extremes. Wayne said he'd have no bother over five or six.

Quotes on Harry's Hill (GB)

I can't believe it, three in a row! It's hard enough to get a horse to win one but now he's after winning three. He's just transformed and he's a legend. Maybe it's just that he's a year older and he's taking his racing a bit better. He blew a fuse one day with Seamie in the stalls at Navan so we try to get him in as late as we can. Whether that has transformed or maybe he's just taking his racing better. We're doing nothing different to last year. He's winning races now easily. We might give him another run in the Curragh, Scott said there is a big pot in him. Our horses are running well, Secret Magician was third in a big handicap at the Curragh last Saturday. When you are on fire, you're on fire.

Quotes on Zarra Ellis (GB)

I'm delighted for the breeders Jimmy Murphy and Redpender Stud. He was head travelling lad to Paddy Mullins, loves his horses and is a very cute and clever man. Ciara had to mind the fort at home but his two lads are here so this is great. She is from a good family so it is important to get the win. I thought she was more suited to six or seven (furlongs) but she was in her comfort zone and in a lovely rhythm today and finished the race out very well.

Quotes on Bold Optimist (IRE)

that's my second winner and my previous win was also for this horse's owner Chris Mullins, who has been good to me and has also been lucky. After I gave Bold Optimist a break at the end of last year, he was showing loads of speed but at Naas (in May), he was on his head the whole way but still came home well to finish fifth. I ran him at the Curragh then but he 'gassed' it early and got knocked about. I knew with today's smaller field that at least he wouldn't get knocked down and he got to show himself. I entered him in the Rockingham at the Curragh (Derby weekend) in the hope he'd win today so we'll keep going and go with that race in mind.

Quotes on Only Spoofing (IRE)

We were hopeful with the track and the step back to five (furlongs). It's hard to place a horse like him, there is not many races. It was a bit of a quick turnaround from last week but we've done it before and he's old now so he knows the gameplan. We'll do the same again, go back to Epsom and then go to the Curragh. He ran in England five times last year and is not a great traveller. It took it out of him and he possibly won't go to the UK as much. It is too much of an ask. He takes his racing well, I think there is a race for him in the meantime in the Curragh. If it is not five, I don't think there is much point. None of his wins are past the five. To be honest he's not the quickest horse, he would be always on his head. It looked like he had a bit much to do but he got there in the end. Everyone that rides him says he needs to step up but he has never won beyond five!

Quotes on Samrogue (IRE)

that was a big surprise as she had a break after being withdrawn in the stalls at Navan (in April) and I thought she might need the run. The plan was to come here and then go to Laytown but I'm not sure she will get in there now. It might have been horses-for-courses and it is her time of the year as well but she was impressive. It is hard to imagine a six-year-old mare improving as much as that but I suppose those sprinters can do it. We are just riding at the crest of a wave at the moment and the horses are just so healthy and well. Leigh and Shane Foley are so handy for riding work for us on the Curragh and Leigh is a great man. He missed a few winners due to his injury but that winner will help him ahead of the Galway festival next week.

Quotes on Rathbranchurch (IRE)

He's been second four times this year. The owners are local so I'm delighted for them as they stuck with the horse all year, it's great to get a win with him,. We made a mistake as I thought he might get the seven in Fairyhouse, as it's a handy seven, but he doesn't seem to get that trip. This trip here is ideal for him. He's entered at the Curragh on Saturday and we might have to go again. Wesley is well worth his claim, I reckon he's the best apprentice in the country. Things just didn't work out for him, but they are now. There is a long road to go yet, but he's probably getting a bit more firepower now with Johnny (Murtagh) than when he was with me. He puts a lot of work in. That's 15 on the board for me this season and they are all newish horses. Hopefully we can keep it going.
