Quotes on Air Force One (IRE)

he joined us last year and he's gotten stronger since he came. He's been showing a bit of pace and it looked like a nice place to start. We had planned on starting him in this race when it was originally due to be run in Tipperary but weather dictated that we came here. We were waiting for this to be changed to somewhere else. I think he's a five-furlong sprinter. He was tough there and we'll see what the handicapper does. Hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him for the summer.

Quotes on Branding (GB)

it felt easy for him and is a horse with plenty ability. We didn't think it would take him this long to win and we'd have been disappointed if he couldn't do something today off 69. I didn't think there was a bias (in ground conditions) and it is where ever the best horse goes to be honest. I thought when I was walking it earlier it was much the same the whole way across. to be honest he's been disappointing and I thought he would have won a maiden for us last year but maybe he was just a bit immature and weak. He's a good lump of a horse. We weren't really sure what his trip was but Michael was adamant he had enough speed for five (furlongs). He put the blinkers on so we kept it very straightforward. He ran straight and through the line so we can't knock him today and hopefully the handicapper isn't too hard on him.

Quotes on Gabriella's Spirit (IRE)

Chris Hayes rode her in a four-way tight finish at the Curragh the last day and we decided to go for cheekpieces today. Billy said she enjoyed getting a bit of light and, as it worked out, was on the right side of the draw as she got a nice lead from Dun Na Sead who was quickly away. This is a lovely prize to win and these Premier Handicaps are hard won. It is nice for Con who bred her and it is a family he knows well. She has such a nice pedigree that there is nothing to be lost by looking for black-type and she could run in the Listed Abergwaun Stakes at Tipperary now.

Quotes on Heart Of Darkness (GB)

She's improved in the two weeks (since her debut) and I think the surface has probably helped her. I'm delighted she's won, they are important colours. She ran well first time but I'd say she just didn't love the soft ground, she's enjoyed that surface today. She's a nice filly and I think we'll look at stakes races for the rest of the year. Something like the Polonia, if the ground was quick we might go back to Cork.

Quotes on Moral Turpitude (IRE)

How did she get beat last week!. We put her in the gate on Wednesday morning because she missed the break the last time. . I left young Oisin on her because he knows her and I told him to go in last. She was drawn 17 and was outside last week as well in 11. The owners were all ringing me crying! . She's pretty handy and she'll come back for the winners' race here in two weeks. . We'll keep her going, the horses are doing well. The third horse (Woohoo) ran a lovely race, she is a half-sister to Speedacus. I also had the seventh horse as well.

Quotes on Zarra Ellis (GB)

I'm delighted for the breeders Jimmy Murphy and Redpender Stud. He was head travelling lad to Paddy Mullins, loves his horses and is a very cute and clever man. Ciara had to mind the fort at home but his two lads are here so this is great. She is from a good family so it is important to get the win. I thought she was more suited to six or seven (furlongs) but she was in her comfort zone and in a lovely rhythm today and finished the race out very well.
