“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.
Dermot Weld, trainer of Harzand

CAUGHT U LOOKING winner of Gr.3 Weld Park Stakes for 2YOs at the Curragh and a Classic contender for 2024

She’s a good filly and she’s a filly that will improve because she’s a Harzand. She’s going to be better next year, and is probably a mile-and-a-half filly.

Noel Meade, trainer of Caught U Looking

 

CRISTAL CLERE Impressive Leopardstown winner

Four time winner Cristal Clere confirmed his well-being in defying the 7lb penalty in the Shein Cup 10f Handicap at Leopardstown only having won a mile contest there 3 days ago by over three lengths.

That’s brilliant, I’m delighted. He jumps hurdles and fences, so hopefully he’ll rock on.

John Nallen, trainer of Cristal Clere

 

MYRSTICA Four-time winner over hurdles

Myristica has been fantastic since joining our yard and has now won three of her four starts over hurdles with the minimum of fuss. She is a gorgeous looking daughter of Harzand and what is best about her is her straight forward and genuine attitude. She travels kindly through her races and jumps really well and responds when her jockey asks.

David Pipe, trainer of Myrstica

 

IN THE BREEZE Four time back to back winner, trained by Michael Appleby

I tracked the favourite and got a beautiful split and it was straightforward. Mick was keen to drop In The Breeze in and get him to relax and he was dead right
