Quotes on Candleford (IRE)

He runs well fresh and he looked really well today. The girl who rides him at home all the time, Alison, has done a brilliant job. She's ridden him for years and knows him inside out. She knows when he's ready and she said he was today, so we were hopeful. He wants fast ground and hopefully we're coming into a period of time where we might get some fast ground now. We'll see how he is when he gets home. Even though he's an older horse bringing him across the water is a trip and he'll need a few weeks and then William will map something out for him. Barnane Stud (owner) are really top-class breeders and these are the type of people that you like to have horses for. They have very nice mares and go to the best stallions, you then get a chance of breeding a nice horse and that's obviously what we're all trying to get a hold of.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Elegant Man (USA)

Elegant Man will probably improve because he is having a little blow. Mikey (Sheehy) said he was still green when he hit the front. The form of the Listed race (at Kempton) is very strong and that was as good as a Group 2 race you would say. He loves this surface and will be kept on this type of surface for the time being, but I could see him going on the grass over the summer. We worked him on the grass, he is a beautiful mover and he doesn't look like he would have any bother stepping up in trip. Kia (Joorabchian, owner) is anxious that he goes to Dubai and that will probably be our next target. We haven't pinpointed a race but we will talk and see what they want to do.
