Bucanero Fuerte

“A lot of credit to Adrian (Murray) and Robson (Aguiar) for the training performance there and David gave Bucanero Fuerte an unbelievable ride, just the way he likes to be ridden. I'm glad to see him back happy on the track. We're definitely not taking him out of Ireland now for a while - Kia Joorabchian, owner.”

“It was great for us to see Bucanero Fuerte coming back but I suppose from a breeding point of view it was disappointing. We were on a fact finding mission today to see whether he was going to train on and he was brilliant. He's only back six or eight weeks with us and you'd never think he was away at stud. He's so cool and calm, we even said to David [Egan, jockey] going out to wake him up a little bit because he's so relaxed. He finished out the race well, he galloped right to the line. He put plenty of daylight between them. There is a race in Cork in three weeks time and he'll be entered for the Nunthorpe. He's not in Ascot. We'll see after a couple of days how he comes out of the race and then make a plan from there - Adrian Murray, trainer.”

“Bucanero Fuerte is unbelievable and had to tough it out today. We had to come here because we'd as much done at home as we could and that run is going to bring him on plenty. He had a lot left in the tank. He did a spectacular piece of work at the Curragh last Sunday. It's on now to Ascot and we'll probably go for the Commonwealth Cup. We're really looking forward to it - Adrian Murray, trainer.”

“I think Bucanero Fuerte is a serious horse. That's three runs and three wins here, he's the horse of a lifetime. I'd say it'll be the National Stakes for him now and I don't think he'll have any problem stepping up to 7f. He would prefer an ease in the ground but he has won on good ground. The ground today would be a bit easier than the last day. He was very impressive in his maiden here on heavy ground but it's not an issue for him as he's won on quick ground as well - Adrian Murray, trainer.”

“I knew Bucanero Fuerte would battle because he needs every yard of 6f. He's a tough horse, really tough. He's a beautiful-looking horse too and, you know what, he's going to improve again. When he won his maiden in April he was only a shell of a horse. He is twice the horse now than he was then. Please God, we will be back here again for the Phoenix Stakes - Adrian Murray, trainer”
