Quotes on Streets Of Doyen (IRE)

He is a nice horse and has just taken time to come to himself. He has learned how to race now but doesn't do much unless he is asked and Philip (Enright, on Friary Rock) rode a lovely race there from the front and it didn't suit our lad but I think we had the better of him at the last. You could see coming up to the line he wasn't doing a whole lot in front either. He has a big engine and is exciting and likes good ground so I might put him away. He could be a Pertemps (Final) type horse in time and there's also the three mile handicap at Fairyhouse in Easter too. Not too many win three in a row. Simon (Torrens) is riding unbelievably and is worth his 5lbs claim all day long so I'm using him a good bit.

Quotes on Motown Maggie (IRE)

She jumped great. We were thinking about going to Roscommon on Monday but the owners wanted to have a runner in Listowel and they'll enjoy that. We could maybe look at the Cheltenham meeting in November for her. I'd say she could step up in trip as well. She probably wouldn't want real winter ground but other than that she'd be okay.

Quotes on Hascoeur Clermont (FR)

It is great for the syndicate (Riverview Racing Syndicate) who are from Trim and I'm delighted for them. This is compensation for his last two runs as he ballooned the last at Downpatrick and it might have cost him. It is a brilliant place for them to get their first winner. We weren't sure about the ground, but he handled it away well. He'll continue running in staying chases and we'll make hay while the sun shines.

Quotes on The Short Go (IRE)

I'm delighted for the Byrnes as we chose not to go to (local) Listowel last week because of the ground. We ended up here and while it wasn't ideal for him, he handled it well. He was keen early but Rachael was very keen to hold him up as he ran so blind in Galway. Once they went on, he jumped great and she was brilliant on him. It was lovely to see him pick up after the last. I haven't really looked ahead as we said we'd start today and get him jumping. It is great he handled that softer ground though so that will help him.

Quotes on Macgiloney (IRE)

He’s a ten-year-old now and that’s 11 races that he’s won, he’s a brilliant servant. He’s been a bit in and out this year but would have won here two runs ago when he stumbled at the back of the last so he deserved that. Looking at the race he was meeting them all wrong at the weights but they are all old horses and have two ways of running at this stage so we said we’d take our chance. Hopefully the handicapper won’t react too harshly. They are hard horses to place. We pulled him out of Galway because of the ground and then we ran on similar ground here. It’s loose here so we got away with it. Extreme trips suit him and if we could get three and a half miles that would be great. Daniel gave him a lovely ride and had him in all the right places.

Quotes on Freewheelin Dylan (IRE)

It's great and it went to plan thankfully. I said to Ricky 'sure you know he likes to bowl along in front and jumping is his forte so use him up'. I was a bit concerned about not getting a run into him but it went to plan. I said to the lads 'we better starting shouting' turning into the straight. I knew he stayed going. When he came in off the grass last year in September time, we were late getting him in, and I said then we'd come straight here. It was a race I always wanted to have runners in, let alone try and win it. My father rode the winner of it in 1962 so I was always trying to follow suit. I was fairly relaxed about it until they turned in and then I got a bit excited. I was enjoying it up until then as it's nice to see a horse jumping fences like that and enjoying himself. We're about three miles down the road between Ratoath and Curragha. We have some nice horses, thankfully, and will try to keep progressing as best we can. We've good help, good lads, and it's all about the staff and also my wife at home and the kids. They all support us and it's very important. Ricky is a good lad and that's two good pots he's after getting out of him now. Coming here I thought we had a good chance with both horses [Opposites Attract 10th] and thankfully it worked out with one of them.

Quotes on Donacheady Gale (IRE)

This is probably the best horse in the yard or one of them anyway. Robbie gave him a class ride there considering there wasn’t a lot of schooling done with him. He said he’s the real business.

Quotes on Menindee (IRE)

She's a tough mare and she's fit as she's been running all summer. The ground was the big worry today, she is tongue-tied, but Darragh said she really toughed it out. He was good and positive and let her get into a rhythm, which is very important for her breathing. Whenever they turned into the straight it was going to take a very tough one to pass her. The guys bred her and they deserve that. They've stuck by her and she's been fantastic for them. She just keeps staying but with her wind we've always been reluctant to run her on softer ground. Darragh said it is heavy down the back straight. She's actually beaten a few mares there that would prefer that ground. We're delighted with that. We might look at something else for her. The end goal is probably to breed off her we're always looking at black-type. If the ground came up nice again we might even look at Cheltenham in November, there might be something there for her.

Quotes on Invictus Machin (FR)

I was a bit disappointed with the favourite, he was under pressure a long way out, but there will be other days for him. Yes, absolutely (a nice performance). He worked well at home and we weren't sure coming here with Gordon's horse being so fancied. I would have been very disappointed if he didn't run a good solid race. I didn't get a chance to talk to Keith yet, but I imagine he was raw early on and, when he got the hang of things in the second half of the race, he showed his ability. He's a Coastal Path and a fine stamp of a horse, and will be a lovely horse next year.

Quotes on Goodnightngodbless (IRE)

This is what she wants (better ground), this is why we came five hours up the road today. She often runs well fresh and she just wants a trip, she wants decent ground. Charlie (O'Dwyer), in fairness to him, knows this mare like the back of his hand. He gets a great oul tune out of her. I thought myself along the top going to the fourth-last that we could be in a bit of trouble. I was worried if I had her fit enough. He (O'Dwyer) said once he jumped the fourth-last she kept picking up and picking up. She stays really well, stamina has always been her forte. She is a great little mare for 11 years of age. She will run away over the summer and we'll have a bit of fun. Brilliant to get one on the board for JP (McManus), he's a great supporter and it is fantastic that he has kept her with us so long.

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
