Letter stamps her authority on maiden rivals

It was no more than you probably expected from her after seeing her on debut the first day,. She stepped forward nicely and you'd expect her to win her maiden that way, so we're delighted with her. We'll see how she comes out of it before making any plans. I think it's just raw ability at the moment, I don't think she's a two-year-old and I think it's all about next year with her. We'll let her tell me what we do with her, whether we bring her back. I'll tell Barry (Mahon) what I'm seeing at home and discuss it with the (Adbullah) family about whether we come back for the Moyglare or something like that. She's done a lot quick, we are only in the middle of July. I thought I seen in the parade ring that she's very much on the leg. She looked raw going down to the start and it's pure ability what you are seeing out there.

Babouche wins Group 3 Anglesy Stakes to give Lyons/Keane double

She's a filly we've always liked and has a temperament to die for,. She's become more switched off since she ran in Cork. It's okay winning in Cork like we did but we learned nothing because she did it all on her own, with the way the race was run. Coming here you're lobbing into a proper stakes race against the boys and you are wondering what did she learn. Since the run in Cork she's just been so switched off at home. Colin said that you can't get over her temperament. She got mashed out of the stalls there, then had to do it the hard way and then got to the front and parked and looked around. Maybe she'll improve and she needs to improve if we're going to keep going forward. We'll see how she comes out of it but at the minute we're going to take on the boys in the Phoenix Stakes. She doesn't show a whole pile at home since her run. Before her run we knew she was special but since then she shows you nothing. I've always said that we're winning our Listed, Group Threes and Twos but for the Group Ones you need the temperament. That can be the final thing that you're missing and she seems to have that. I've been blessed since Juddmonte came into the yard, we're always finding one. Last year was the ordinary year but even her sister (Zarinsk) pulled us out of the hole by winning a Group 2.

Poet Master's Minstrel Stakes rivals under Sam James

Secret is out as Vera romps home under Crosse

She was good last year. She was unlucky the first day and then she did things wrong afterwards in her races,. I ran her over shorter here, trying to get her to relax, and she was too keen that day. Then it was bottomless in Gowran and she ran with the choke out. Today I think they all wanted to move to the middle and it suited her as she got a freebie and got to prick her ears. We like her a lot, I've always liked her, and it's good that she did things properly today. She wasn't too keen.

Royal Dress wins Meadow Court Stakes under Ben Coen

I'm delighted with that, I wasn't so happy when she was an unlucky third at Epsom or when the ground got a bit quick for her at Ascot, but everything went perfectly today. I was hoping that the ground today was soft enough for her. We discovered at Ascot that it's not really that she needs the ground soft, she just needs a decent test of stamina. So although the ground wasn't that soft today, with Sparks Fly going off so quick, that played nicely into our hands. There's no way we'll be going back to a mile now after winning over nine furlongs today. A mile and a quarter would be ideal and on that kind of ground you wouldn't even rule out a mile and a half. I think it would be a bit greedy to go for the Nassau (at Goodwood on August 1). It was either this race today, or there were a couple of other options, including the Nassau. We've chosen this and it's worked out great, so we'll enjoy today and see what mile-and-a-quarter or mile-and-a-half Group Ones or Group Twos we can find on soft ground.

Ephesus makes all under Moore to gain first career win

I'm delighted with him. He's a horse that stays very well and he'll stay further than a mile-and-a-half, he's genuine,. We'll look for a staying handicap, he'll have no problem going a mile-and-six.
