Harzand and Pat Smullen win Gr.1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby

“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.

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.
