Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Gold Speed (IRE)

As a young horse he showed a lot of potential and he’s after coming back off three career threatening injuries. I’ve never had a winner in Listowel before and I’ve had plenty of seconds and thirds over the past 15 years. He was in earlier in the week and I didn’t run him because of the ground. I knew he was real well coming here and on the back of the run in Galway, I was expected a big run. Everything is a bonus with him now and luckily the last year and a half he’s been very good. We don’t over race him and we keep him fresh.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ask Anything (IRE)

I tried to keep it simple, he was a little keen early on and his jumping was a little bit high. I thought I was in bother at the second-last when he hit a flat spot, but he got a good jump at the last and galloped out to the line well. It looked a nice race for him today and while he'll have to step up, we knew he'd come on a good bit from the run. He looks a stayer and got away with the ground.

Quotes on Iamagetaway (IRE)

He is a smashing horse and his work at home had been very good so I would have been disappointed if he didn't collect. He had been keeping good company in his bumpers and while we were a little disappointed coming home out of Wexford and had our tail between our legs, that form has worked out well,. We were clutching at straws by putting on a tongue-tie as there is no issue in that regard but it won't be coming off the next day. I'd say 2m4f is his trip and we'll pick and chose where we go, so hopefully he can win again.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Thegraveyardbookie (IRE)

It was an eventful race. He jumped very poor early on and as a result ended up further back than he wanted to be, but he has an engine and his bumper form was reasonable. There will be huge improvement in him as he’s a very raw and weak horse. I’m delighted to win and it’s a lovely pot. There is no doubt he was lucky, but I’d say if he’d jumped better early on, he’d have been closer to them and more competitive. He jumped so poor over the first three or four that I was embarrassed. He could be a nice horse in time. He might run once more around March time, he won’t run for a couple of months, and then he’ll go out to grass.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Grappa Nonino (IRE)

He did it well. Chris gave him a peach of a ride, he was in the box seat turning for home. He did well to get him from a 17 draw across and that was important because I thought there was quicker ground on the far rail, and that's been evident all day. He's a good actioned horse. He ran a reasonable race in Galway last week, I was disappointed with him but the ground had gone soft to heavy and that's not for him. He was drawn wide and ran a bit keen. It was a combination of things and things just didn't work out in that particular race. He's a smashing horse to train, he's won a couple on the Flat and he's won over hurdles this year as well. He has a great owner, Gregg Ryan in America. He'll be enjoying watching the race and his future will be to go to America as a dual-purpose horse.

Quotes on Cozone (GB)

he loved that ground, jumped really well and in that company was well in at the weights. He jumped himself to the front going down the back straight and while I got there sooner than I wanted, he stuck at it well. I thought we were going plenty fast enough but he kept pulling out. This is the only good race he has run since winning at Listowel last September and he has been really disappointing this year but hopefully is on the up now.

Quotes on Showman (GB)

He had a nice run over the winter at Punchestown for Keith Donoghue and a lovely run the last day,. I suppose after his last run he had a good chance here in a non-winners race. It's great for Chris Blair, a new owner to the yard, and for Eamonn who has been lucky for us. He's a tough horse but he actually lost a bit of interest, his runs on the Flat he was showing no spark at all and the jumping has really helped him. He'll be a nice horse to tip away with.

Quotes on Phils Choice (IRE)

Philip wanted me to drop her in but we were going very slow going up the hill the second time and she was jumping and travelling so well, I ended up jumping into a position too soon. She had a good look at the last two hurdles but to be fair to her, stuck her head out and battled well. She did it well in the end.

Quotes on Gabriel Ranger (IRE)

We got him over the line at last. He had a little break, I think that is his level and I don't know what the handicapper will do with him now.

Quotes on Billy Lee Swagger (IRE)

I thought he’d run a big race in Naas and he gurgled all the way up the straight. I probably had the wrong bit in his mouth as he’d never done it before. I was really happy with him and he was working really well at home. The day he was fourth in the maiden hurdle in Gowran was a good run and I thought he’d go on the ground here. It’s been a mighty year altogether and it’s our best season for winners. I’ve great owners, great staff and supporters and we’re working very hard at it. The Blind Squirrels have horses in Ireland and England and are a really well-run syndicate. Prince Zaltar was my first horse for the lads and this is the second one. It’s great for Conor as well. That’s his second winner and nice to be able to support him as well.

Quotes on Away To Milan (IRE)

I felt I was getting good at training horses to finish second! Coming down here tonight I thought this lad had a decent chance. He made two mistakes the last day and tonight looked like a lesser contest really. I'll probably give him a break now for a month as he is a big raw five-year-old. He won nicely and it's great to get a winner. I had a second in the last race and another one last night at Ballinrobe and you'd be wondering what you had done wrong. The horses are flying though, and that's my third winner of the season. The track have done an amazing job here. I was disappointed to hear some of my comrades not happy with over watering. I think you can't water enough and on a night when it's drying out you have to err on the side of caution. Everyone is putting in a lot of work at the moment to have it safe. All of ours have come home safe this season and I think that's wonderful, so long may it last.
