Browne McMonagle at double on Proleek Prince
He was very positive on him, he's as tough as nails. I'm very happy with that. I knew he was going to run well, but you're always doubting it against the big guns. Onwards and upwards with him, he has a lot more to give. He wants further because he stays, he hasn't a great turn of foot. Dylan rode him perfectly and did exactly what he said he was going to do, drawn on the wide outside. He bided his time and got him in onto the rail before the turn on the back straight. That's only his seventh run, he's strong and he eats up well so we'll keep him on the go. He'll even go hurdling, but we'll see how far he goes on the Flat - we'll see what the handicapper does with him. I have him in at Dundalk on Friday and just put him in there because I thought the ground might be firm here. When I rang this morning they said it was yielding and Dylan told me before the race that it was riding dead.
Seven up for Star Harbour after a thrilling finish
He's lazy and it was totally an inadequate trip for him,. We had him in Chester at the weekend, but the ground went against him for that Listed race. We threw him into this race when it was small entries, it was a bit of an afterthought. The conditions suited, but we knew it was a bit short. Adam got after him early doors and he gave him a good ride. He just got there and it's great for the lads, he's been a great money-spinner for them. He wasn't a cheap horse when we bought him, but the fun they've got out of him has been unreal. That's his third win of the year and he had a very good run the last day at Dundalk carrying a lot of weight. He'll probably go back for the Diamond Stakes there in two weeks time. We might give him a break after that. We've threatened to run him over hurdles a couple of times - we pulled him out at Down Royal because of the ground, but at some stage he will make another appearance over hurdles. He'll want nice autumn or spring ground.

Powell delivers 'a peach' on Rockbury Lad
It was a lovely ride by Jamie. He's a very frustrating horse, he's a horse that always had loads of ability. The year he was a two-year-old he was one of the best I had, but he got a fracture and then as a three-year-old got a fracture again. He always remembered. Races like that just need to work out for him, where he can be smuggled in and Jamie gave him a peach. The instructions were to ride him for luck and don't get there too soon. I was delighted for Jamie and for the lads who own him. They've persevered with him and he's a good fun horse. They are based in New York. It's only the second win of his life and he deserves to have had more. He wants neither extreme ground-wise and then he's grand for Dundalk during the winter. The handicapper has split his mark, so he's out of the 65s in Dundalk but we'll see what he does.
Keilah tastes success for the first time
That was grand. She's a grand filly, she's very honest and tries hard. I felt a bit sorry for her the last day as she was just nabbed on the line in Navan. She tries every time. I thought he gave her a lovely ride there, a very patient ride. She quickened up and put it to bed quick. I'm delighted for the mare herself as she deserved that. We'll keep rolling while the ground is like that and see how we get on.
