Quotes on Routine Excellence (IRE)

It looked to be a fair mistake but he didn't lose a terrible lot of ground. I was standing at the last watching it on my phone,. He looked well handicapped on his hurdles form and ultimately he was. He's in on Tuesday at Down Royal but he might not get in as he's number eight in the ballot. If he comes out of that okay and he gets in he might run. I'm not sure, we'll see what the handicapper does.

Quotes on Ah Remy Martin (IRE)

That was lovely and I suppose opportunities like that don't come along that often and the race couldn't have been more suitable. You still have to go and do it though, and he jumped well. I thought he might get done for a bit of toe at the back of the last after meeting that fence on a backward stride, but I loved the way he came back and put his head in front. He is on the go a long while so a break could be on the cards: if the ground stays good we might go once more but other that that, we will leave him off.

Quotes on General Clermont (FR)

He was too free the last day and settled today. I thought he'd do that a long time ago and ran a cracker in a maiden hurdle here in the past when he was a 112 or 113 rated horse. He is a tricky horse to win with but got a super ride today. My horses are healthy and we'll enjoy the wins while we have them.

Quotes on Lake Chad (IRE)

He is better around here than anywhere else. He has won here before and has always run a good race here. He ran terrible the last day and I don't know why he ran so poor. The ground was soft in Roscommon that day. It was a big improvement today. After finishing second at Clonmel, he had a couple of middling runs. He is in at Killarney on Thursday in another handicap chase so, who knows, if he comes out of this alright he could run.

Quotes on Winding River (IRE)

The leader ran the other day against a horse of ours in Down Royal so we felt we would sit in behind him and see how we go. It was a king of a raggedy start I thought and anyway it worked out for us in the end. I suppose the other horse tired. He did (relish the better ground) and Barry gave him a very timed ride. He looked to have a lot to do but I thought the leader was going very quick after running during the week. He felt he would reel him in but you have to go and do it. He will probably head to Punchestown (for the final). I think he is improving a bit and the ground helped him. He has a real good page this lad. He was a little bit hard to handle early on and if you saw him three months ago, you'd say there was no handling him. He's come a long way

Quotes on Kilmurry Jj (IRE)

This is what racing needs and we'd encourage more (syndicates) if we could. They get as much of a kick out of it as winning a big race and since they started off, 29 of the 30 are still in the syndicate. The syndicate has been self-financing as Mahler's Dollar was their first horse and he won them €40,000, so then we bought Emancipator with that money. With the prizemoney he won, we bought this horse and there's still money in the kitty. We buy horses with form as it is very hard to go the other way to buy store horses for €50,000 - where would you be going?

Quotes on Clonbury Bridge (IRE)

He was a nice little horse and he got a hard fall in his first beginners' (chase) at Fairyhouse. He lost his way a bit. We got his wind and that done and he seems to have come back. He was a nice hurdle horse, so I'm delighted and we will probably mix it with hurdling too. He's probably a horse where the bigger fences might not suit him. He's not over big. We'll see what's around and what he gets, but we'll definitely look at the hurdles as well.

Quotes on Natural Breeze (IRE)

He has been placed so many days and he deserved that. It's his second win and he has been pretty consistent, he is a great little horse. He was down the bottom of the handicap and we took seven off with Conor's claim. It's great for Conor, that's his third winner and he is improving away. He probably wants another year of experience under his belt to really get going. He is definitely on the up. That's 41 winners now and it's my best season to date. It was lovely to hit the 40 winners mark the other day. I've been fifth in the trainers table nearly all year and while behind me is something like 18, I'm still miles behind the first four. For a yard of 50 odd horses at the level we are at, it's magic. I've got massive support from owners and I have wonderful staff. Long may it last.
