Quotes on Walnut Beach (IRE)

He is a lovely horse and I have a nice few Free Eagles at home and like them. He is a devil on the flat as he is lazy and was having a look around in front today. He'll go for another handicap hurdle and can go chasing as well. I don't have many jumpers at all for the winter but have some lovely flat horses for next year.

Quotes on Aarons Day (IRE)

a couple of years ago he was left at the start here over hurdles and almost won, but went backwards after that. He's difficult to handle and can blow a fuse very quickly. He's big and powerful so it's not simple and today we got him around the parade ring once, got the jockey on and luckily it didn't take too much out of him - it often does before the race. we're delighted and it was a great ride by Phillip. He was keeping better company, maybe too good, but it taught him how to race. He liked the ground and the track. We were hoping he'd do that but we were hoping before that he'd do different things. Hopefully he's developing and getting better now. He was better today than any day. I have no plans, he'll probably stay at the likes of that and will stay further in time.

Quotes

Quotes on Ballybawn Belter (IRE)

She missed the break badly in Galway and, in hindsight, at a quick track like that she probably didn't have the speed to drop down in trip. Maybe at the likes of Navan in the winter she'd be okay back in trip. I saw this race and said we'd try her over two-six. I don't think they went very quick, though, so she's probably still a two-and-a-half mare with the boot she shows. I was contemplating going over fences but Frank (Berry) twisted my arm and said we'd keep her over hurdles for the time being. I'm delighted with her. She was a skinny, narrow, very light thing last year and really has rounded up and strengthened up. Four-year-old fillies can lose their way but she's really started to go the right way physically. We'll look for another hurdle for her.

Quotes on Watch The Weather (GB)

he had been doing everything really well at home last year but since he ran last, we got his palate fired. At home recently he wouldn't blow you away with how he was going and I said to Rachael that he'd either win or run brutal. The last day Rachael rode him she said he stopped under her and while he scoped perfectly, obviously the operation was what he wanted. He is back the way he should be - he is a very good horse when he is right, he is a really good horse. He will get a fair penalty for that and the plan is now to go to Galway. What he will eventually make is a right chaser as he is brilliant to jump.

Quotes on Happy Dreams (FR)

That is my second winner this week and we have been lucky. This is his third win at Limerick and he loves it here. He was well-in at the bottom of the weights and young Mark gave him a lovely ride. We had a metal manufacturing business in Shannon and I found the sport was a great way of getting to know customers. We are racing a long time now and this has been a good week, although you'd need it. The horses were going ok at home, are happy but I never think we will win as everyone else does too! I'm very happy with what we achieved this week and when you get a winner everyone is happy - the guys in the yard are much more interested in their work and everyone feels a lot better.

Quotes on Mr Saxobeat (IRE)

He's a lovely horse. We got him off Sean O'Keeffe's Dad and we were thrilled when we got him. We like him a lot and we would have been disappointed if he wasn't knocking on the door today. He'll probably go to the field for a bit of a rest as he's only five and I'd say he's on the go a long time, even before we got him. I think he could do with a rest. He had been going well and doing everything right. He was going well in a point-to-point (at Fairyhouse) when he fell and it looked good on the video anyway, we kind of bought him on the strength of that. The owners (the Roberto Syndicate) have had Agent Boru with me for years and he came good again this season. We were looking for a replacement for him as he's ten now and, thank God, it looks like we have a lovely replacement for him. They are a lucky bunch of fellas.
