Quotes on Torquay Road (IRE)

The owner (Kevin McConnell) is a friend of Denis O'Regan's. Denis rode this horse work before we bought him and liked him. That was good enough for us. Kevin is a new owner for us and it's great to get a winner for him. He had been jumping very well at home, we hadn't done that much galloping with him but going on his bumper runs, I was a hopeful of a big run today. He probably idled in front and had a bit more left in the tank. We might go to Galway for a novice hurdle. I was with Gordon Elliott for seven years before setting up on my own. I've around 40 horses in and have room for more!

Quotes on Valsorpresa (GB)

He hasn't been straightforward, he was a bit keen early on in his career. He's going to win plenty of races - he's no Presenting Percy (brother) and he's not the biggest in the world, but he's going to win plenty of races. I'd say it is beautiful ground as it always is in Downpatrick. All credit to Downpatrick, every time you come into the racecourse there is something new. New vets box, new stable yard, new trotting up area. I think a lot of racecourses could take a leaf out of their book. Paul (Townend) is going to be very hard beat (in jockeys' title race), he's got serious ammunition for Punchestown. I thought coming into today if he (Kennedy) rode another four winners he would have a chance. Another three to go and Paul would have to ride 11 to beat him.

Quotes on Miss Gherkin (IRE)

She is a really good mare. She got a great bit of confidence from her win at Leopardstown and the better ground is suiting her. She always worked like a good mare and showed promise. She ran well in a Listed bumper at Limerick after being a little bit far back. She is class and we will pick something out for her in a couple of weeks, we will see how she is at home.

Quotes on Boom Boom Boom (GB)

We found it hard to pick between the two, we were pretty hopeful as both of them were working well. Actually, when I declared them, I thought the race was being split. If it was split, I'd have had two winners!. I thought he (Gary Halpin) would delay it as late as possible and just drop him on the line if he could, he couldn't have done much more. It was a helluva ride. He can go back over hurdles any time he wants, we'll mix and match. The runner-up has done well, he has run a fine race.

Quotes on Andyourbirdcansing (IRE)

when things are going well it is great and I'm getting great support so hopefully I'll keep it going. She's tough, stuck at it very well and going to the last, I knew I'd saved a bit. She dug deep and stayed going really well to the line. John's horses don't know when to stop. He's given me plenty of support over the years and I'm very grateful for it.
