Quotes on Hewick (IRE)
He is a great horse, is very easy to train and it is great for the team at home as he is our star. Our game has gone very tough with the price of feed and everything, and we are a small yard. It is getting harder every day and to win this is unreal. My mother and father haven't been racing for three years, I am coming here all my life so it is great for everyone. This and the Kerry National, I have both won and we'll head back to Kerry with him now. He came from the sales in Goresbridge for €800. I met this horse coming in the back gate with a lovely walk and Paddy Mullins had said to me years ago 'if a horse can't walk, he can't run'. I went there to buy another horse and live only five minutes from the sales company, so went home for grub but was thinking about him and went back down and bought him. It has been a dream since there as he was unlucky to fall in his point-to-points, and otherwise would have been sold. He gave him a great ride, knew the horse and fair dues to Gordon (Elliott) who allowed me use the chap - he could have told him to ride one of his but said 'your horse has a chance', so allowed me use him. He was the first man to shake my hand coming back in.After Hewick (IRE) finished 1st at Galway on Wed, 27th Jul 2022 2m 6f Hcap Chase Good

Quotes on Visionarian (IRE)
Things certainly hadn't gone to plan since we got him as he wasn't right. That said, I was confident enough he'd run well but didn't expect him to win. I know the race ended up with only three runners but we'll take it and he is now a Grade 2 winner. The Galway Plate was initially the plan but he just wasn't right at that time and then was well beaten the last day but he is back on track now. Last night and with the weather forecast, we thought we mightn't be running but it went the other way and it suited us. To win this Grade 2 is brilliant.After Visionarian (IRE) finished 1st at Gowran Park on Sat, 5th Oct 2024 2m 4f Chase Good

Quotes on Minella Indo (IRE)
Minella Indo has given us so many great days and I’m delighted to see him start his season like that. His work was really good, but it was also good before the Gold Cup and it just didn’t happen for him there. It was a messy start and it just didn’t happen for him. He jumped from fence to fence today, his ears were pricked and Rachael said he really enjoyed it. I’m also delighted that Barry (Maloney, owner) is here as well. We entered him in the north (Down Royal's Champion Chase) but that’s only a couple of weeks away, so we’ll see. We can enjoy today and decide in the next couple of weeks. the Grand National is something we can discuss. Coming here after the Gold Cup run, we couldn’t make any big plans but we’re really encouraged now for the rest of the season.After Minella Indo (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Wed, 11th Oct 2023 2m 7f Chase Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Conflated (IRE)
It was unfortunate that A Plus Tard couldn’t run. The race worked out well and Jack gave him a beautiful ride. Paul (Townend) steadied the pace down the pace and Jack let him stride on. He said the faster this horse goes the better he’ll be. I thought Jack was wonderful. He’s not an easy horse and he’s actually starting to settle now. He was very kinky and Jack said he wasn’t doing a stroke the whole way up the straight. He jumped perfect all the way. We don’t gallop him a whole lot and he just does his routine work each day. We left him very short in Down Royal and Jack was thrilled and said he’d come on an awful lot from it. I’d imagine he’ll come back here for the Irish Gold Cup but we’ll have to talk to Michael (O’Leary, owner) and Eddie and make a plan. It’s great for Michael and Anita as it’s their first time to come racing this season and they are big supporters of Cullentra. They have backed me from day one. There was a lot of talk last season about which race he would go for in Cheltenham but he’ll definitely be going for the Gold Cup this year.After Conflated (IRE) finished 1st at Leopardstown on Wed, 28th Dec 2022 3m Chase Soft

Quotes on Delta Work (FR)
I love the cross-country race. It was great to have the one-two and see Galvin run a great race because he will come on for it. I’m pleased for Keith who is having his best ever season, but Jack (Kennedy, injured stable jockey) is a team player and he’s here lending his support. Jack will be back on these horses when he’s passed fit to return. Both horses will now go for the Grand National.After Delta Work (FR) finished 1st at Cheltenham on Wed, 15th Mar 2023 3m 6f Chase Soft

Quotes on Desertmore House (IRE)
It was a late plan after he won in Kilbeggan and we saw he was gone to 135. He’s a novice that jumps like a handicapper and we just wanted to get more experience into him whatever the ground was like. There are plenty of races coming up like this — the Munster National, the Troytown at Navan and the Paddy Power - so there are lots of options for a horse that jumps like that. He got in as a reserve. Gordon (Elliott) rang me this morning and said you should put your horse in the box as I have one out and we will walk the track and if we’re not happy we’ll take a second one out. It was a real sporting gesture. He’s finished second but he’s won plenty of these races!. We’ve had some lovely winners with these colours and Numbersixvalverde is the one that sticks out. This fellow might start us dreaming again. He’s eight and has had a good time to mature. Denis Leahy won a point-to-point with him and I’d say did an awful lot of schooling because he was always good to jump. It makes the job easier for us. They went a bit steady and I said to Ricky if you are still travelling jumping the third last they are not after going fast enough. I said make sure you are in the van as they will quicken up from there but they are going to have to stay as well. He said it rode a bit slower than they were expecting but he handled it well.After Desertmore House (IRE) finished 1st at Listowel on Wed, 20th Sep 2023 3m Hcap Chase Yielding to Soft

Quotes on Senecia (IRE)
That was wonderful and we have him since he was a foal. As a three-year-old we failed to sell him and he became a covid carry over so today was a big day,. We reverted back to this distance, he has a good cruising speed and Philip gave him a great ride. He was near enough at the last (when Icare Desbois exited) and got there so that's the main thing. He might go to Galway now and good ground suits him. It has been bottomless during the winter and no matter where we went, there was rain coming. Vincent has five horses and we have a small operation. The competition is strong where ever you go and this is great. The last big pot I won was the Fortria Chase with Arctic Skipper.After Senecia (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Sun, 12th May 2024 2m 1f Hcap Hurdle Good to Yielding

Quotes on Zanahiyr (IRE)
I thought we were very beatable first run back and to be honest I wasn’t going to run him only there was a very small entry. Jack said he had a couple of blows and was delighted with him – he jumped well. He was entitled to do it on ratings, but it’s not always that easy. We thought we might get a soft lead but it was an honest gallop and Philip put the gun to our head the whole way. I’ll talk to Noel and Valerie (Moran, owners) to see what they think (about plans). There is a lot of prize-money to be picked up in conditions hurdles and he has no Grade One penalty, so he can step back into Grade Twos and Threes. I’d say you could see him in anything from two-mile-five back to two miles. You know he’s going to wear his heart on his sleeve and try his best for you. The way he jumps a hurdle you would say he would jump a fence, so I wouldn’t rule it out.After Zanahiyr (IRE) finished 1st at Punchestown on Tue, 10th Oct 2023 2m 2f Hurdle Yielding

Quotes on Hurricane Georgie (IRE)
We thought she had a good chance and thought she was our best chance coming here,. Jack gave her a lovely ride, he said they went quick early. In fairness she stayed going well and she's very tough. She had a nice weight on her back but she's climbing up the ladder the whole time. She probably won too well but they are here to do their best so it's great. She'll be entered in the Plate but it might just happen a bit fast for her around Galway. She might be a horse for a Kerry National or something like that. We'll have a lot of fun with her.After Hurricane Georgie (IRE) finished 1st at Kilbeggan on Fri, 8th Jul 2022 3m 1f Hcap Chase Good
