Baby Zeus comes from the clouds to land the opener
It's an easy thing to say but we always liked him. He could have been entered at the Curragh at the weekend but we said we'd come down here for the nice ground and it is all to do with his head. He is very very immature and we never start one off wearing a hood but he is wearing a hood as it works on him. Colin and Martin, our head man at home, ride him the whole time and he is a handful but he has taken this race like a pro and this is what it's all about. We know he has an engine but is not cooked yet and isn't ready but in a month's time he'll be ready. Ours improve anyway and he'll improve for that but today was all about his head and he is bred to be a stayer. It's a big thrill for his owner Ray Grehan too as he owned the dam and owns (a sister) Lagostovegas. He is a Galway man who lives locally and it's great to have a horse for him and they're after getting some thrill out of this.

'Smaller fields' suit jockey O'Brien
he can be a little keen at home but the track suited and he was able to put it to bed before he came off the bridle. He is out of a top class sprinter (Rosdhu Queen) and whether he has maybe more of a sprinter's brain than body and that could be a lot of it (his temperament).
Dettori dramatically denied a Killarney winner
we were very nervous coming down with the weather forecast but the lads got it spot on and the ground is beautiful and good. She loves good or better, the trip but her heart won it today. She had a tough campaign in the last month or so and that was a negative coming into this but she fought like a lion. This was the main aim to win this and I'm delighted. With a heart like that, it will help her when we step her up in trip as well and we'll find it (a plan) as we go.
