Autocrat in command in claimer

I can't take a whole lot of credit for this one. I got him out of Denis Hogan's not too long ago and it was only a matter of keeping him ticking over. They have him in a good place and he was back down into a grade where he is nice and comfortable. Down in grade, he was comfortable everywhere. He didn't run badly the last day, they went very fast early on and he was on top of his head but he came home well. I'd like to hold onto him for a little while anyway. I'll leave it up the owners and see what they want to do.

Jaafel sees out ten well to bag fourth Dundalk win

We weren't sure (about the trip), we ran him over it once in a claimer over in Sligo and it was just a messy race and it didn't look like he stayed. He is much better up here. Joey has been on the phone saying 'let me on him, let me on him - I'll win!' He hasn't ridden him since he was with Denis (Hogan). He ran an absolute blinder last week in a much better race. He actually wasn't getting in last week and I didn't want him to run last week. Someone pulled out at the last minute and last week probably sharpened him up a little bit. For sure it gives us more options over the winter series. No doubt about it, he will be kept busy. We took him for up here. I think that tops last year - we had 23 winners last year and that is 24 now and we only have three lads riding out, so we are a small team.

Simplexity makes winning start in handicap company

As Colin said, the form was in the book in his last race as there were Group horses in it. He's in at the sales, but the boys will have to sit down and discuss whether he goes to the sales or not. He's maturing all the time, the blinkers helped him and he loves that surface. He'll be a real good summer horse at seven to a mile. If he is allowed, he will get another spin in a nursery here.

Krolock another winner for Doyle & Hassett

He loved it (surface) - that's what Wayne said, he was always in his comfort zone. He's in the sales on Monday so if somebody wants fun for the winter, he is there for sale. We'll see what happens. He's a very good-actioned horse. He got bogged down in the Curragh last week, but he had a couple of good runs before that. It took me a while to learn that he didn't want soft. I ran him in Listowel and it was too soft for him and I still didn't learn, and I went back to the Curragh. He's a nice horse and he is only developing, he's a big raw horse so there is more improvement in him. We are flying it, they are in top order. One lifts the other, they are working together and they are all coming on. That's 19 winners for the year.

Amemri bags another win back at Dundalk

Halford & Collins double up with Vadiana

We have always known that (this is her surface). We are very pleased with her. She has actually had a fairly good season without getting her head in front. I think she will come on from it, she hasn't been the easiest filly to train but I will say she has got very genuine and very honest. She is going the right way. She is a filly that we have always liked and it is good to get her head in front. The horses are running really well and they are in good order, so hopefully it will continue on.
