She has been incredible so far and will be again. It's just disappointing today and that's the way it is. I'm delighted for Robcour and I said to Brian (Acheson) beforehand that if we don't win it, I hope you do and I genuinely meant it. Klassical Dream is a Supreme Novices' winner and I saw Teahupoo come up the straight one day in Gowran in the Red Mills Hurdle like a weapon on soft ground. The more it rained, the more he was coming into play. That's the game we are in unfortunately and they get beaten. As disappointing as it is, we've had an unbelievable run with her so far and I've no doubt it's not over yet. He was very good last year on soft ground and we ran him on good ground a couple of times which was probably a mistake but we are still learning about the horse. Jack gave him a wonderful ride. He let it all happen in front of him and there is only one winning post. It's been a brilliant day with two Grade 1s and we were only beaten a head for three. Gordon Elliott, trainer
