Quotes on Commanche Falls (GB)

He always takes a while to warm into his races and you would be worried if he wasn’t like that. Connor thinks he will be a better horse in a better race. He’s really chilled at home and doesn’t sweat at all. He’s a very chilled out horse and good to train. The races for him in the UK are quite limited so that’s why we came here. I don’t think we will be put off coming here again if there is something. He got too high to rn in handicaps and has stepped up to stakes races. He’s performed well in them and my dad said the York run was probably his best run. We were going to go to Ascot for the Wokingham but he was too high and came here instead.

Quotes on Tango Flare (IRE)

Obviously with him winning it last year it was an ideal race to come back here for,. We'll probably go the same route and go back to the Curragh for the Listed race that he was fourth in last year. He was unlucky not to get the black-type last year and you'd be hoping this year with being stronger and more mature he has a chance of getting it. He's holding his form well and he's not too far off it. We tried him over seven on his first run back this season, to see would he get it, but he doesn't. He's a six furlong horse. We dropped him back to six at the Curragh, he missed the break but we were delighted with how he ran on to get fourth. If he had jumped he'd probably have been closer. He was top of the weights that day and it'd hard for him. At least in a Listed race he'll be off level weights. If he can get a length improvement we'll have the black-type.

Quotes on Ano Syra (IRE)

Jamie has ridden five winners for me now from eight rides with two seconds and a fourth. He's doing well for me at the moment anyway,. We got her before Christmas, Charlotte and James were kind enough to send her to us, and she's kept improving. In fairness to Kevin Manning he's done a lot of work with her as well. We thought she'd get a bit of black-type in the future and we'd plot a course through the year with her. We were a little bit worried about the ground but she was brave, she has a big heart. I know she had a light weight but she was a three-year-old taking on older sprinters. She travelled really well and she's just a good filly.

Quotes on Pink Sorrel (IRE)

We thought she was a nice filly. She had a bit of a cough and we gave her a bit of a break, I think there is fierce improvement in her. She has a nice pedigree. Gary loved her, he said she gave a heave at the furlong pole and just idled. He said 'I can see a lot of improvement in this filly' so I hope he's right. We'll see what the handicapper gives her and take it from there. I think she is a filly going forward.

Quotes on Jakajaro (IRE)

He's a very good rider, obviously, and he's a great team player. This horse was gelded last year. He had run some fabulous races and he has a lot of speed and is a very good horse. He travels very easy and doesn't do a lot when he gets there. You could see that today halfway up the straight. There's no doubt he had a good juvenile campaign and ended up with a 93 rating - he was 93 doing a few things wrong. There's a nice Group 3 in Ascot in early May for him and there's a (Listed) race in Navan for him. We'll pick our spot and have a think about it.

Quotes on My Mate Alfie (IRE)

Colin was excellent, he knows the horse from home. He rode him like a champion jockey should ride him. He produced him on the line and the horse will come on immensely maturity-wise. Austin Whelan, who owns the horse, is an Irishman that lives in London. He's a gentleman and we are delighted for him, hopefully it is the first of many for us. He has a few horses here, there and everywhere, but he has a couple with us. His first couple of runs have been good, but he will only get better mentally and he will get great confidence out of that. He wants a little bit of a cut, the ground is beautiful.
