Quotes on Franciscan Rock (IRE)

That wasn't before his time, but they still have to go and do it. In all his races, all he looked like doing was staying and had been beaten by better horses on the day. He seemed to handle today's ground well, but the ground might get a bit tight for him from now on. I'm more looking forward to next season with him for jumping fences.

Quotes on Jet Setting Jim (IRE)

He had a bumper winners' penalty to carry but that bit of nice ground wouldn't both him. He is a big chaser in the making. Finbarr Walsh, from Riverstick near Kinsale owns him and we didn't think beyond today.

Quotes on Masterstonemason (IRE)

This is fantastic and was five years coming (since horse's last success)! . I had him tuned up for today and everything was going to plan at home and he was beating everything. He has a turn of foot, that's what you need and always showed it at home. He had problems the last few years with his back but we got that sorted and this is great. It is amazing for the old man - he loves this sport and and this is his thing. We are riding out 14, it is a small family operation and we have a few nice horses at home at the moment.

Quotes on Merlin Giant (FR)

He has finally put it together on the Flat. Colin was good on him and just kept it simple and got him out. First-time cheekpieces have worked as well. He's exciting going forward.

Quotes on Sempo (IRE)

We always liked him a lot and he ran well at Christmas and it was nice to see him put it all together today. You don't expect them to win like that and we thought he was a decent horse all along and I'm delighted for Martin (O'Sullivan),. He's probably good enough to line up in any bumper but I don't know if we need to over-race him. He has had three runs in bumpers now and I don't know what advantage to him it would be to win a winners' bumper so I'll talk to Martin and see how he comes out of the race. He's an exciting type of horse to go novice hurdling next year.

Quotes on The Big Doyen (IRE)

Fair play to the lads as they had to make the call not to sell him after he won two bumpers. He enjoys being left alone to bowl along in front and in fairness to Kevin he always said to step him up in distance but I couldn't see it myself because he was so keen over two-miles. Last winter he didn't go on the heavy ground and it wasn't working out for us. He went up in trip and letting him bowl along in races has suited and he wants nice ground. I think he will be a cracking horse over fences but we'll see where things go over hurdles first. He is electric to jump and I think will be the same over fences. He is a nice horse going forward. this is great for the lads, they're having great craic from it and hopefully they get plenty luck with him. We've had a great week, some of my horses ran moderately but had genuine excuses and we'll definitely enjoy tonight!

Quotes on Thecompanysergeant (GB)

To be honest Galway was a rush job and he missed ten days two weeks out from the race and I shouldn't have really gone there but it was the aim for a long time. It was a mistake by me to send him,. He definitely took a blow in the dip there in a very competitive race, this was calmer waters, and he needed to be 110 percent going into it but was probably just short. I didn't have to do much after that, that put him right. He's come here against a lesser grade and won well. He's a lovely horse, the last day is the first day he was ever out of the money. He wasn't expensive as a store and he's been a really good servant to us and hopefully he's got another good year ahead. He's still a novice up until Christmas so we'll try and exploit that if we can.

Quotes on Varna Gold (IRE)

He has improved with every run and it was a pity the last day when he came down as he was booked for third. Going down to the last today I was hoping he wouldn't do anything silly or miss but he picked up and quickened well. It would have been nice if one of our own lads had ridden him but Keith (Donoghue) gave him a great ride. It's great for Gay and Dymphna Keeley (owners) and Gay rang me one day to see if there was any horse for sale around and this horse was bought from Andrew Lynch (jockey). Andrew is a good buddy of mine and he recommended him for selling. He is versatile ground-wise and I'd say he'll go on soft ground. The job is done with him now and we'll see what happens.

Quotes on Miss Oreo (IRE)

He gave her a great ride. She's free and I told him to try and save a bit that you'll be able to give her a breather at some stage. . Her jumping was unreal. She won a point-to-point and any of them that win a point-to-point can jump. . Shane has done a lot of work with her at home because she's not an easy ride so fair play to him. . The owners are from Mayo, as you can see by the jerseys and colours, and it's the first horse they've ever had. They are absolutely thrilled.
