Quotes on Follow Me (FR)

He's a fair horse, everything went wrong that could go wrong and he still weaved his way through. Three down I was like 'oh no', it was like watching a horror movie. Billy was so cool on him, he got his spots and got out. It's onwards and upwards with him, it's exciting to have him. They are two lovely horses (Dance Night Andday who won yesterday) that have won this weekend. They both worked on Tuesday morning and you'd think coming here that both of them would run well, but you'd hardly think on Guineas weekend both of them would win. Tom Malone bought him in France and it was a great buy for Amanda (Torrens). Unfortunately, she couldn't be here today, she had to go to the north for another engagement. She was roaring the phone down and she's delighted. We'll see what the handicapper does, he's 93 today and, if there was another handicap on Derby weekend that we could eke out of him, that's a possibility. He's very versatile ground-wise and it's just lovely to have a good horse. He's a big horse with loads of scope. When he came off the lorry to us, and given his two-year-old form, he came off like a big scopey horse and not a horse that was all about two. He's simple enough at home, likes his routine. I feel sorry for Shane Foley as he's ridden all his work and won his maiden on him. He was mad to ride him but had to ride for Jessie (Harrington) and then that horse (Matter Of Fact) was taken out. He is Shane's ride.

Quotes on Self Belief (IRE)

I'm delighted with that, Billy gave him a lovely patient ride. The last day he said he just didn't come down off the hill in the Curragh, the ground was too quick there and the first day it was probably too soft for him. It's soft but it's loose today,. He really battled today, he could have thrown in the towel half way up the straight but he didn't. He had the fighting qualities of the mare who was a good tough mare. I trained the mare for them, who got listed placed. He's a half-brother to a good filly Joseph O'Brien had, Statement, who won a Group 3 down in Tipperary at the end of last year. He's a right tough little fella. I thought he'd do this earlier in the year and I was so disgusted with his two runs, one was in too soft ground and one was a bit quick in the Curragh. He loved that loose ground. He's been working great and I'm delighted for John O'Connor (Ballylinch managing director) as they send me a few horses. We can go places now with him as he's shown he can battle, we just have to get the ground right.

Quotes on Warrior Brave (GB)

A horse that has proved so frustrating in the past has now turned to be a star! It's great for Eleanora,. He won last week in Listowel, on Saturday, and this race popped up in the calendar quick. I had seen it beforehand and if we had missed Listowel we were going to come here anyway. He's a horse that likes doing what he does out in front and the blinkers worked well. Obviously the handicapper gave him 10lb the last day but the ground suited and the track with a bend is similar to Listowel, even though we're going the other way. He proved so frustrating in the last year-and-a-half but he fell down to a mark that he's capable of winning off and that probably gave him the chance. Like them all he'll probably climb back up and hit his level again but we're after having two wins with him which is the most important thing.
