After race at Curragh Sun, 28th May, 2023 (1st) 
that’s hard work from so many people and the lads put so much in day in day out. We are just a small part of a big team and I’m delighted for everybody. that was a masterclass from Ryan - he’s confident, mature, dedicated, passionate and he’s very strong. He has everything and is a great fellow to work with. He was happy to make the running and happy to take a lead. The horse gets 1m2f very strong. The last day was his first day and we were happy to sit in. When a horse is happy to make the running they are very independent and you are not at the mercy of anybody. Ryan guided him through all the fractions. He went to the (Irish) Champion Stakes after a terrible preparation. He then went to the Arc on bad ground after that hard preparation and it was always possible that he would be as good. The lads had the patience to leave him alone and he’s a very serious horse. He’s not for kids, he’s a hardy customer. He’s tough and has loads of class.

After race at Curragh Sat, 13th Aug, 2022 (1st)
Very, we didn't think he'd ever get here. We thought that he had no chance of running after what happened to him. Everyone did a great job to get him over his first mishap, he was off for a long time. Then he came back and it wasn't smooth with him. Jamie who looks after him did an incredible job. I didn't think he'd get here, our eye was on the Irish Champion Stakes and obviously we knew you couldn't go to a Champion Stakes without a run and this was the only place we could run. The track was beautiful. In this heat it's very difficult to have ground the way it is so hats off to the Curragh. First time back we didn't want a grueller because he was only ready to start. It was brilliant really because they didn't go too fast and he had to quicken and run hard for the last two which he wanted to do before he'd go into a big championship race. We were over the moon. We knew Willie's filly was a good filly as we'd ran against her earlier in the year. They ran hard the last two and Ryan gave him a lovely ride and taught him. He had to sprint the last two furlongs and I couldn't be happier. Ryan said he moved up, got there and just shut down. He's used to doing that in his work, just getting there and coming with horses. Obviously he wouldn't have been edged up in any way. A lot of his work would be physical core work rather than sharpness because he wasn't ready to start sharpening him. We were only going to have one race to sharpen him and then we could take him home and
