Little Queenie rules in Dundalk opener

Lynam's Rough Diamond puts manners on bookmakers!

He was a horse that was rated in the 90s and I couldn't believe this morning he was 10 or 12/1. He has never run against horses like that before. If they (bookmakers) are going to be silly, you have to put manners on them!. He will probably be claimed now and he will be a fun horse for somebody. Trevor (Dalzell, owner) is a great supporter and nice to get him another winner. He's having a nice drink on holidays now and is a few quid better off!

Marnane's Tokenomics justifies favouritism

First run in a handicap the last day, we dropped him in and the pace was minimal to say the least. To be fair, he quickened up really well. It is lucky we see the fractions and they were pretty good from just before the turn in to half a furlong from home. . The drop back in trip didn't worry me and he's a very nice horse. I don't know how high he will go, but I'd say there is more left anyway. . It was just the bottomless ground in Tipperary. He travelled and was cantering turning in, but just couldn't get out of that ground at all. . Other than that, he has been very consistent all the way through. . He's a lovely big (The) Grey Gatsby. He's a big, genuine horse - he's huge. I'd say that is one of the main things, I'd say he is so big we probably won't see the best of him until next year, but we are here and hopefully he can win a couple for us before we let him go at the end of the year. . We had him in at Killarney just in case he absolutely bolted in. I think we'll leave him alone, but we'll see how he comes out of it. We'll plot away with him for the rest of the year.

Coen doubles up on Shamsuddin

Straightforward, job done today. . He had a couple of good runs. He's been coming along and might just have run into one the last time, we had no excuses. . I thought a mile around here would suit him well. Ben said there was no pace and he just let him go nice fractions, he said. He quickened up well and he did what he had to go. Ben gave him a peach of a ride. . We will probably look at a handicap now and see if we can get a three-year-olds only handicap, and bring him along that way. . He should improve a bit too, he's starting to strengthen up and mentally he's in the right place. It is a good family for us.

Poignant winner for McGuinness

I'll probably go to Galway with him now, I needed a few pound to get into one of the lower-grade handicaps, so he'll get into it now. . He's never really run that well on this surface, but we just said it wasn't a wonderful race - no disrespect to the other horses in it. . We just felt a horse of his class would have a chance in it, so it is great. We've got great fun out of him and he has slipped down the ratings. . Great for Adam and the whole yard, we have had a rough week. This day two years ago Adam was a 10lb claimer.

Eleventh on Thursday, first on Friday for Comfort Line

I ran him last night and I suppose most people probably wouldn't run him back - he went to the beach this morning and he did half an hour there. He grubbed up last night and we just said we had nothing to lose. When he gets back into that grade, he's dangerous. He's probably after booking a ticket west as well!. He's solid out and he's a great fun horse. When he comes down to his mark, he wins. That's the good thing about horses like him. He's sound as a pound and solid. Keep them nice and sweet, and they are great. In all fairness, Adam was good on him. He's (Comfort Line) a lazy brat at home! You have to get after him, but he kept at it well. He gave him a good spin and knows the horse well. Delighted for the Dooley boys in England. They bought a new horse yesterday in England as well. They are a great supporter of the yard. Martin White is involved as well and he is a local guy. It is great for them.
