Quotes on Stellar Story (IRE)

It was a competitive race and probably neither horse wanted to be in front. They are big, three-mile staying-chasers and idle in front. Sam’s lad wasn’t doing much in front and then when Jack got in front he wasn’t doing much either. At one stage they were only going 23 or 24mph. It was an exciting finish and all credit has to go to Michael O’Leary for running all three runners in the race. Search For Glory had a run and Stellar Story hadn’t. I’d say if Jack had another go he’d probably sit behind Sam and have one go at him. In fairness, both horses had a good school around. I’d imagine Stellar Story will run over three miles at Christmas and Search For Glory will probably be going for similar races.

Quotes on Touch Me Not (IRE)

Sam said he got as much fun riding him as he has on any horse in a long time. He came from the point-to-point field in England. He actually fell at the last in his point-to-point, believe it or not. I was worried about the ground but it was a good performance. He obviously came on from the last day. He was very keen at home as a young horse and he wasn’t showing me anything, but he’s come a long way in six months. I’m not sure where he’ll go next, but we’ll get him home and see where we go.

Quotes on Dee Capo (FR)

He’s a nice horse and was running a good race the last day in Navan when he made the mistake and fell two out. He can go out in trip and he showed a good attitude galloping out to the line.

Quotes on Down Memory Lane (IRE)

He's a good horse and had a few small little problems last year. I thought it was a very good performance there today, he jumped great and galloped the whole way to the line. It (Drinmore) might come a bit soon - obviously, I will have a chat with Frank (Berry) and the whole team and see.

Quotes on Farren Glory (IRE)

Jack said his best was from the last to the line. He didn't get pulled up until down below and its job done. We probably would have preferred a bit more competition. They didn't go quick, and he was looking around him. He said it was actually slippy and he slipped a bit and then was a bit careful. I'd imagine, with horses not getting out, he'll head straight on to the Drinmore now. In fairness he was better on that ground - Wexford was horrible ground.

Quotes on Gaelic Arc (IRE)

I couldn't believe who made that horse 14/1, it was a joke! We changed the way of riding him and he didn't come off the bridle at Down Royal, so I was wondering what I was missing - I couldn't understand it. He had gone off the boil after having a hard race behind American Mike last December and he loves the top of the ground. His half-brother won (Galop Marin) won four French Grade 1s. That chap (Prendergast) is in with me three days a week and this horse was his first winner as a conditional jockey at Down Royal. I left him on again today and it is great for him.

Quotes on Ifiwerearichman (IRE)

a member of the (Capital Racing) syndicate Phil Byrne — who had owned Feetofadancer, died suddenly not so long ago and he was a great friend of ours. It will be an emotional win for all the lads involved today as Phil organised the syndicate and got all those lads together. I hope it gives Cathy and the kids a lift, that's the most important part of it.

Quotes on Lecky Watson (IRE)

That was a good performance, I'm delighted how he jumped and settled in front. It looks like a big improvement on his hurdling form. Fences are bringing out improvement in him and I'm very happy with that. His attitude to jumping was tremendous as well. Paul was very happy with it and I was very happy watching. He seemed to be able to put in quick ones and take a flyer when he wanted. Generally, for a horse first time over fences it was a very good first start. Paul was giving me the impression that he wouldn't be afraid to go further. He said before the race that he thought this was his trip - I thought he might want a bit further, but he thought this was the right place to start him. Maybe we'll stay around this trip.

Quotes on Path D'oroux (FR)

I know there were fallers but he won the race in a nice manner. He travels lovely every day, even in the Royal Bond he travelled very well but he cut out in a matter of 50 yards. He ran a lot better in Leopardstown the last day and hopefully he's on the way back. The ground is no bother to him as he's a big strong horse and he has plenty of gears too. I suppose the owners would like to go to Cheltenham for something so we might look at one of the handicaps.

Quotes on Search For Glory (IRE)

he’s a big galloping horse and will go jumping hurdles now. It was a bonus to go for a bumper. It’s been a good day.

Quotes on Walk In Time (IRE)

She was keen today but didn't go at all the last day,. Fair play to Denis (O'Regan), he gave her a great ride the last day when she got shell-shocked. She was grand and settled before today's race but during the race was really on it. She was highly strung in her early days but is grand and is a nice mare who is well handicapped. . She was up in distance and is from a great family.  I'm delighted for John O'Dwyer who owns her and bred Rock On Ruby. John lives a field away from John Nallen (point-to-point handler) so Champion Hurdle, Gold Cup and Grand National winners all came from that area of Tipperary.
