Dundalk Fri, 22nd Mar, 2024  Exquisite Acclaim In fairness to the horse he’s put his head down and hit the line really hard. We gave a lot of money for him and he was a bit of a disaster when he started first. He was with Jessie and he ran in an Italian Guineas and in good races. Maybe he had an overly inflated rating at one stage and that can happen sometimes when you run these horses in Group races. He has come back down now and he has got confidence. He's tough and he's hardy, and he's really putting his head down. He has a bit of class to him. If he keeps improving, God only knows what will happen. I don't think the other horse (Shoot To Kill) got home, we'll drop him back in trip and hold him up.

Dundalk Fri, 22nd Mar, 2024  Galician Girl She's a good filly, look at the size of her - She's about 16.2/16.3hh. I think she is going to make into a very good hurdler. A bunch of Irish guys in America own her, they are builders. They are great fun and they were over for Cheltenham last week. I was chatting to them and I told them I thought she would run a massive big race. She ran very well here in her first handicap and I do think she will improve again. I'm looking forward to her for the summer when I get her out on grass and then she will definitely go hurdling. I still have the trainer's licence over jumps, so I'll see if she goes hurdling for me. The boys have horses with Gordon (Elliott) as well, so she could end up in Gordon's.

Dundalk Fri, 22nd Mar, 2024  Apache Outlaw It is not easy to win these sprints off that weight. We gave him a break after he won here the last day, and we knew he had improved a good bit through the winter for a little bit of a break. We are thinking we might make an entry for him in Lingfield next week, we are sending a few down there next week. He could be on the way and that track could suit him. We have horses going to Newcastle next week as well.
