Quotes on The Wallpark (IRE)

I’d say he wants further and we had him in a hurdle later in the week but we thought with the rain we’d run him (today). He jumped a bit a novicey today but the further he went the better he got. He’s a tough horse and I’d say he wants two and a half. He was good and tough to do what he did there. He’ll be a chaser in time.

Quotes on Indiana Jones (FR)

He's a huge horse. I'm not sure where he goes now, the race at Thurles (Grade 3 Pierce Molony Memorial Novice Chase) would be an option and is probably more than likely where he'll go. He took some pearlers of falls last season and 'Puppy' (Robbie Power) did a great job with him, he went up to his for a while. The girls in the yard also did a lot of ground work at home with him. It's an unbelievable family and there are still two young ones running around. It was hard to work out Mullins' horses today as they ran so bad the last day. I thought if they mightn't be on song we might have a squeak. I know we had a bit to find on ratings but a graded race is a graded race and it was a nice pot.

Quotes on The Big Chap (IRE)

It was either run here or in Cheltenham yesterday in the race won by My Mate Mozzie but I wasn't just convinced that it might have been a fluke when we beat him at Fairyhouse. It suited to come to Galway and I'm delighted to see him win on that softer ground. He is something to look forward to and it is early in the year so I wouldn't get just excited yet but could go for a handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas. He likes fences, jumps, goes a good gallop and could eventually go for the Grand Annual at Cheltenham - I think that's the type of horse he is. The lads are from Mullinavat and previously owned Moon Dice (Galway Hurdle winner) with me.

Quotes on Pakens Rock (IRE)

I'm delighted. He seems to favour tracks that he likes. He's won four times at Galway, twice here and twice in Thurles. It's nice for a small yard and small owners. I drive the wheelbarrow, tractor and horsebox!. He's the horse of a lifetime for me, a horse that keeps pulling it out. He's gutsy. Hopefully he can rack up another one or two. He might get into the Blazers (at Galway), he's entered in the Galway Plate just because he won the trial and gets a complimentary entry. There is a hurdle race there as well and I wouldn't rule that out. He'll run once I'd say, whatever we get into we'll go for that. He'll have a few entries and will run in whatever he can be most competitive in. He came from behind the last day, he was in the middle of them today and he can make it as well. He's won on firm, soft and nearly everything. He's just a real durable horse. I have two horses and 50 per cent strike rate!

Quotes on Luminous Light (GB)

the owners are the Good Counsel School in New Ross and Sean (Flanagan) went to school there. It is great to get a winner for them and the connection comes from another former pupil Jonathan Moore (jockey) who advises me. we always thought a wee bit of him and we thought maybe Mighty Mo Missouri might have got a hard race at Cheltenham and we were glad to take him on on the day. I think he'll handle any ground but I think he'll be better on better ground. Hopefully he can improve now and tip on. He had a high rating on the flat coming from Mark Johnson but I bought him (for 6,500gns) on the first day of a sale and picked up two or three nice horses that day.

Quotes on Ballywilliam Boy (IRE)

I had disease in my hay and couldn't understand how he got beaten at Limerick. He was cruising turning-in at Limerick, like today, but didn't get home. He'll probably go to Mallow for a Grade 3 novice hurdle at the weekend. Today's race was like a piece of work and he'll go on any ground. My owner is anxious to go chasing but I don't know if that'll happen because he is a novice hurdler until the end of November. We could go chasing in December, or later, maybe next season. I should probably keep his for chasing next season.

Quotes on Hands On (IRE)

he is out of a Galileo mare and isn't very big so it was an easy choice to go three-year-old hurdling. He was small and doesn't look like an Enda Bolger-horse so maybe nobody wanted him! I wouldn't be throwing 12st7lb on him or anything but there is an engine there, which is the main thing. it was no harm that he met some trouble in running as it will make a man of him and he is a great little leaper. He was still green, he pulled hard early on, but is learning his job all the time. Let's hope it is onwards and upwards with him. We'll keep educating him away and follow around in a three-year-old winners' of one. He must be Flemensfirth's first three-year-old winner too.

Quotes on War Correspondent (IRE)

The last day was a non event, he stood in the stalls and the race was over. Lucky enough we were in last today which was a big help. His three runs before that were very good and I thought one day he might just come good. He's after running around 20 times on the Flat and has never won. Dylan said he was going to keep it simple today. He said if he came out, he would ride him real positive. If he fell in a hole up the straight, so be it. He stayed going. To win five lengths, I couldn't believe it. That was a 95 handicap - there was only one horse rated over 95 and the rest of them were in the 80s (and 70s), but he won well. He's basically running away here until he gets a bit of nice ground to go back over jumps. He wants good ground. He has a wind issue, so he gets away with it on nice ground. As soon as the weather dries up, he will go back over hurdles. He's a fine big horse and great to get his head in front.

Quotes on Zolpharine (IRE)

This is a lovely horse, he's a half-brother to Fairyhill Run,. My cousin Tom Meagher bred him and the mother died when he was only three weeks old. Then his foster mother had bits of problems, it's only now he's growing into a horse. He's a useful horse. He'll go to Listowel now for the winners of one novice. He wants further, he's out of a Flemensfirth mare. Fairyhill Run is a brilliant mare, she won a lot for us. She got an injury but it looks like she'll come back. I'd say he's way better than her, he's exciting. He's not very big yet but he's a nice one and he won that race with a bit in hand.

Quotes on Sargent Lightfoot (IRE)

He loves it here and that's his second win this year,. He jumped well except for one fence. We were hoping he'd finish in the first three or four but thought it would be a big step for him to win first time over fences as there were a couple of nice horses in it that had form. Denis was brilliant and he's won twice now for him. I'd say he might look at a hurdle race again for him.

Quotes on That's About Right (IRE)

Delighted!. Conor gave him a super ride. That chap from humble beginnings 18 months ago with his first ever ride over hurdles, never sat on a horse two and a-half years ago, what he is achieving this year is beyond belief. I thought he took a hold of him at the right time and I thought he gave him a really, really good ride. To see him (Owens) do that today, I would be extremely proud of him. He is a chap that is improving and improving and improving away all the time. It is an absolute credit to him. He works hard at it, hugely dedicated to it. I thought that was a super polished ride. From limited opportunities, six winners ridden. For any 7lb claimer, that is a huge achievement. For a fella that sat up on a horse two and a-half years ago, it is an incredible achievement.
