“He has such courage and determination–I needed him to dig deep for me and he did,” his rider commented. “He’s such a great horse and this matches Epsom. The pressure was on today and we pulled it off. I don’t think I’ve ever ridden such a courageous horse. I just can’t get over his courage in the last half-furlong. When they’re as good as this and as determined as this ,it just makes it easy.”
Pat Smullen RIP (Thoroughbred Daily News)
“I was concerned because he had a very hard race at Epsom. We always knew he was very tough, but he had to be 110 per cent today I knew Aidan would have his horse better than at Epsom, so I knew our horse had to be better than at Epsom to win again. He ran a magnificent race. He showed the speed that he has today.”
Dermot Weld (Thoroughbred Daily News)
Harzand is the ideal stallion to breed to. He has most wonderful pedigree. He was a most beautiful horse to train, medium sized, beautifully balanced, very correct, wonderful confirmation. He had this tremendous courage and guts that is really needed in a thoroughbred I believe.

CAUGHT U LOOKING
Winner of Gr.3 Weld Park Stakes for 2YOs and Listed Bluebell Stakes as a 3YO in October 2024
Caught U Looking deserved the win and she’s never run a bad race all year. She’s off to the December sales now and she’s a valuable commodity as a broodmare or a racemare. I’ll be sorry to see the back of her, but that’s the way it goes.

SHARINAY
3YO Sharinay winning 1 mile Maiden in Cork and followed up winning the Premier Handicap at the Curragh on Derby Day
A stakes horse in a handicap; the best horse in the race… he had a bit of class to get me out of a hole. He quickened and after that he was just going through the motions. He’s a horse on the improve and he’s going to get better as time goes on.
Ronan Whelan, rider of of Sharinay
Sharinay is a progressive horse, a good sound horse and is getting better with racing. The step up in trip suited and he is improving with that. He relaxed lovely and picked up.
