Joyce delivers Sunrise with late run to land Nursery

He stayed on well in Galway and again the last day in Sligo and had two goes at handicapping so I'd say it made the difference. He was 4lb out of the handicap but we had to take our chances as he is probably crying out for that distance. Wesley gave him a great ride - the instructions were to sit in second or third and to get cover for him as we were riding him to come home. He'd have preferred better ground but this is Ireland, you have to make the best of the ground you have.

Goffs Million filly secures first stakes success

I was very disappointed the day she was beaten in Galway but, to be fair, there were positives to take out of that run and she backed it up in Gowran. She got her season back on track at Gowran and I thought she was in good form today. I think she likes confusion; it was the same in Gowran and also in the Goffs Million but seems to like coming through horses and has the class to do that. It was a wet, cold spring and some of these fillies can take a bit of time. She is a nice filly, is a stakes winner now and you'd imagine going to the Denny Cordell Lavarack Stakes in Gowran next month could be next.

Nibras Rainbow registers first Irish success for in-form Flynn

I didn't know what to do with him but felt I should stick to what he did in England and while you could easily say he was ungenuine with his head coming up, I had his wind done. I think he is only getting his confidence now. It took a run to get him back (after surgery) and he is coping with that softer ground now. We'll keep going and will go to Listowel.

English trainer strikes Kingdom Gold

it was my first runner in Ireland but one of his part-owners Keith Breen is an Irishman and has a house in Cork, so has been pestering me to have a runner. The world is a small place now and it is very important to travel horses and find the most appropriate races. To come to a beautiful track like this is a privilege although it was a mission to get here!. The lads came over with the horse a couple of days ago and did a great job, as he is a nervous horse so settling into life here has helped him. He has trained on the track both days and has enjoyed it. It took 18 hours for the horse to get here and for a nervous horse, he was great. We want to travel him during the winter so it was a good test. I got in at lunchtime so I've done nothing but my lads have had two nights here already. I'm going back and going straight to York (races) tomorrow. the horse had been running in very strong races but it was looking like he was an all-weather specialist, although got a beautiful, unbelievable, perfect ride today. I thought the easy ground was a negative but it worked really well for him. The owners are great supporters of mine so to give something back is important and he is a special horse who has won a lot of prizemoney.

Last to first as Jabbar makes it two from two at Killarney

The horses are in form, we brought down three today, were expecting a winner and this was the lad I was expecting to win. The lads from the syndicate came down with me and backed him so I'm delighted. It's great that they are all here. I don't think he was fully tuned up as he is having a proper blow so there might be another day in him hopefully. Dean Curran, who is my head lad now and is doing a fabulous job, rode him to win here last year when they got up on the line to win. He has an engine, stays and Keithen is a right kid.
