Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Gala Marceau (FR)

That was the disappointing part about it. Paul said to me he got done three times. I just hope it doesn't leave its mark that she had such a hard run from the third last home. She put in a huge effort for a juvenile filly and that might just leave a mark. That's what I'm really worried about and I would have been happier if Paul had maybe just been 'hands and heels'. The writing was on the wall, so what was the point in hitting her. He has to have a go to try and win but to me unless Danny's made a mistake at the last he wasn't going to get to that one.
