No stopping Harrington & Foley

That was absolutely lovely because the filly is named after Lady O'Reilly who was in the syndicate and she actually bred her,. It's a lovely touch. We bought her a couple of weeks after she passed away. It wasn't something that we set about doing but Patrick (Cooper) just fell in love with the filly. Being by Australia we didn't think she'd be out this early but she's just done everything so easily and she was ready to start today. Shane said she wasn't in love with the ground and she's only going to keep stepping forward. She's a lovely filly and we're very excited. Her stamina definitely kicked in late on and she's a filly that will be going a mile towards the middle to backend. We'll take one step at a time and see where we go. We won't talk about Royal Ascot just yet but she could get into the Chesham, I think. You never know, we could bring all the ladies to Saturday at Royal Ascot!

Two wins in five days for Play It Again Zaam

I was delighted to see the rain but at the same time it made it loose. He looked very impressive the last day on real tacky ground as it slows them down and he can plough through it,. Today on looser ground they are able to get going and stay going and he just ground it out. It's nice to get two in a week. The runner-up has good form around here and it was a good weight carrying performance by her. We looked well in on paper but realistically he's been trying to win a 65 for a long time and it's nice to win a couple. He's in again on Friday (at Leopardstown) and we might take a chance again, we'll see how he is. He seems to be thriving on his racing and he might have got a bit of confidence for winning. We'll see what the ground is and we might roll the dice again.

Front-running tactics a no-Brainser for Donohoe's winner

He's a grand horse, he's been a prolific winner all his life,. We were wondering would he go on soft but he ran well on it in Leopardstown the last day, you need a soft ground horse in this country nowadays!. (Front-running) is suitable around here all the time. He's always very straightforward, very quick out and always in front. It's a fair old advantage around here. He's a good fun horse and I'm delighted for the owner Paul Sweeney who is a good supporter of mine. I'm delighted to get the odd winner for him. Ground doesn't seem to matter now so we'll keep going with him while he's running well.

Force shows fighting spirit on return

He was all over the shop. He's a big raw horse and he's never gone right-handed in his life so Gavin did well on him to be fair,. I'd say he only really knew what he was doing in the last furlong so he should improve plenty for that. It's nice to get a win into him first time out. The two options are probably either to go up to stakes company for staying three-year-old races or we'll look at his rating and we could look at one of the mile-and-a-half three-year-old handicaps at Ascot. There are plenty of options for him.

Jabbar strikes for O'Leary & Hayes

That was a superb ride. Dean Curran is with me now, he won on Jabbar here last year and came from the next parish. I let Dean instruct Amy how to ride the horse and she did exactly what he said,. She was very polished. She restrained him early, as he was a bit free, and got cover. It was a beautiful ride and I'm delighted for her. I'm delighted for the lads in the yard as well, we have a fantastic team. We have the schooling over hurdles done with him and he'll go for a summer maiden hurdle. We'll see what the handicapper does with him here, he can't do a whole lot I suppose, and there might be another one of these if the ground is easy.
