Quotes on Thunderbear (IRE)

He's a legend, he's been great for us and won a Group 3 in England last year for us,. He's actually developing into a nice sprinter as he gets older. He had been a bit disappointing this season so it was nice to get him back into calmer waters and get the win. Hopefully we can build from here.

Quotes on Torivega (IRE)

That was pure relief. Robbie gave him an absolutely class ride as you have to be really ballsy to sit there for so long although he said he wasn't ballsy enough to sit that way to the line!. I've been pitching him in at the deep end but I actually learned a lot about him in France so the trip wasn't a complete waste of time - and we had a lovely time! Deauville was my fault as I had asked David Egan (jockey) wrongly to go up front and he said afterwards that he'd have ridden him differently. We learnt from that and he is trying to race too much but is only a three-year-old and actually takes a lot of work. He is hard on himself because he is heavy. Viztoria (the winner's Group 2-winning dam) was a pinhook who we couldn't sell and Ado McGuinness and Eddie Lynam trained her, but it was almost by default that I got into training. Viztoria suckered John (Lavery, brother) into ownership and it was happy days for me. She has got Invincible Spirit and Sea The Stars foals on the ground and is in-foal to New Bay.

Quotes on Follow Me (FR)

He's a fair horse, everything went wrong that could go wrong and he still weaved his way through. Three down I was like 'oh no', it was like watching a horror movie. Billy was so cool on him, he got his spots and got out. It's onwards and upwards with him, it's exciting to have him. They are two lovely horses (Dance Night Andday who won yesterday) that have won this weekend. They both worked on Tuesday morning and you'd think coming here that both of them would run well, but you'd hardly think on Guineas weekend both of them would win. Tom Malone bought him in France and it was a great buy for Amanda (Torrens). Unfortunately, she couldn't be here today, she had to go to the north for another engagement. She was roaring the phone down and she's delighted. We'll see what the handicapper does, he's 93 today and, if there was another handicap on Derby weekend that we could eke out of him, that's a possibility. He's very versatile ground-wise and it's just lovely to have a good horse. He's a big horse with loads of scope. When he came off the lorry to us, and given his two-year-old form, he came off like a big scopey horse and not a horse that was all about two. He's simple enough at home, likes his routine. I feel sorry for Shane Foley as he's ridden all his work and won his maiden on him. He was mad to ride him but had to ride for Jessie (Harrington) and then that horse (Matter Of Fact) was taken out. He is Shane's ride.

Quotes on Mehmar (IRE)

He's going the right way and is making up for lost time,. Colin said he's very straightforward, pings the gates. I was lucky to find this race for him, with not so many runners. It ticks another box and gets the second run out of the way. We might go to the drawing board now and make a plan. We'll progress our way up. I like the way he put his head down there and just did enough all the way to the line.

Quotes on Greek Flower (IRE)

She won well again and the last day gave her a bit of confidence. . She’s in again on Sunday so we’ll see how we go. . She flew through that ground and it’s nice for Jamie going for the apprentice title.

Quotes on Heavenly Power (IRE)

He’s bred to be a better horse than that as he’s a half-brother to Slade Power.

Quotes on Jon Riggens (IRE)

Over the five on this sort of ground, especially the way the track is riding the last few days with the wind, he’s been struggling to make up the ground. I sent Dave Mason down to the gate with him today as he gets a bit buzzy with the open spaces here. When you ride them for luck it’s exactly what it says on the tin. If he hit the front a furlong down then I won’t use the jockey again and also he won’t finish in the first three. That’s the way he is. The other horse went out heart on his sleeve. I love both horses and it’s hard when one beats the other but at least one of them has won. They will come back here next month for the Bold Lad.

Quotes on Apache Outlaw (IRE)

It is not easy to win these sprints off that weight. We gave him a break after he won here the last day, and we knew he had improved a good bit through the winter for a little bit of a break. We are thinking we might make an entry for him in Lingfield next week, we are sending a few down there next week. He could be on the way and that track could suit him. We have horses going to Newcastle next week as well.

Quotes on Pinar Del Rio (GB)

He wasn't 100% last year but we got a couple of things done to him over the winter and have got him right and he is paying us back this year. It took him a while to get his confidence back but we have ironed them out now.

Quotes on Universally (IRE)

As long as he gets the splits he always finishes the race,. He's been in great form, he needed a couple of runs to get him started early in the year but he's flying since. He's a full-brother to Garrus, who has been running in Group 1s for Charlie Hills. Not that he's a Garrus but he's improving with age. Ground is key to him, he needs to get his toe in. We've been waiting for that and the forecast was that it was going to rain. I'm hoping to take him and No Niki No over for the Racing League meeting at Chepstow on August 8th.
