Quotes on Cristal Clere (IRE)

That's brilliant, I'm delighted. He was a little horse we bought to win a maiden in Belharbour but he went a different direction. We bought a couple of Flat ones to get Seanie (nephew) going. If you want an event pony they cost half a million and we bought him for 15 grand. He's after winning 45 grand now and putting the jockey on the board. Seanie said he was feeling the surface at Dundalk the last day and changing his legs. We didn't know how he'd go on the ground on Sunday, we were just hoping he would. He jumps hurdles and fences, so hopefully he'll rock on. He's a right little horse, we bought him at Newmarket last year at the horses-in-training sale — he hadn't run. When we brought him home we thought we had him for point-to-pointing and we schooled him over fences and all. When we put him up against the rest of the pointers, he was a bit on small side and I said if he wins we still won't get paid for him, so we'll get value for Seanie rather than go that way. These Flat men have it cushy, this fella doesn't do anything. We were off schooling this morning at 7am this morning with a load of horses. You just give this fella a few nuts and a pick of grass and away he goes, it's an easy game. I carried out the saddle for him today and if he rides him over hurdles I'll have to get a wheelbarrow to carry the saddle. Hopefully we'll run him over hurdles, he could be a right little horse for that. He could go to any of those (Flat) handicaps in the summer as well for expe

Quotes on Longbourn (IRE)

Absolutely brilliant. We just said it is swings and roundabouts - in the last week we were standing in Naas and got beat a short head with a different horse (Turbulence) and this week we win by a short head. That's the rollercoaster!. He's a horse that we have got great sport out of in the last couple of years, he brought us to Bahrain last year, and he is so consistent. It is great to have him and to win a big pot like that today is unbelievable. Amanda (Torrens, owner) is a great supporter of the yard and a great help. We had six seconds in the last two weeks and as much as Katie (Walsh, wife) says 'Cop on, they are running well', it can be frustrating. You just need to be keeping the show on the road and a winner is everything. He is rated 88 and he will be up a few pound again today, he can run in those handicaps (at Irish Champions Festival).

Quotes on Shayzann (IRE)

it was lovely to win his maiden, it was a very nice run the first day and a track like this really suited him. I put him in the Meld Stakes today and we'll see where we go from there. Ben (Coen) said he hit the line well and he'll definitely get another furlong, probably two. He's a big horse and I think he's going to improve with a bit of racing. He always showed plenty of ability it was just a matter of giving him time and letting him mature into his size. Ben said he rode him like a favourite, there wasn't that much pace on and he arrived there well. He said he liked the way he dug down in the last half a furlong and he would have learned a lot today.

Quotes on Trustyourinstinct (IRE)

He looks a nice horse. We thought he'd run well and he'll have learned a lot. He was green in the middle of the race there but I thought he went to the line well. It was a good performance on debut. I'm not sure where we go now, it's a difficult enough spot when you win first time at this time of year. He'll probably end up going for a winners' race. You wouldn't be rushing to go 12 but he should get it.

Quotes on Buttermere Ridge (IRE)

He's a big horse. Dave Hyland bred him and Caren Walsh is involved, she lost her husband a few months ago so it's a great tonic for her. David L'Estrange chose to go and see his horse in Tipperary today. I'm delighted for the three of them because he's taken a lot of time to come to hand, they've been very patient. I was giving him a run to see how he got on because he needed to get out, he's just a lazy bugger at home. It's great to get him started and we might look for a winners' race somewhere. He's a lovely horse and he'll like better ground, he just got away with it there.
