To win it last year was a bit of a shock, but to win it two years in a row is something that can probably never be repeated again. We have to enjoy every second. In a lifetime you could have a hundred horses and never have a horse like him. Martin is an extraordinary man to care for a horse and had him spot on today. He’s turned up in just as good a shape (as last year) and possibly even better. JJ said he was running away with him for the first mile. He’s the best horse that I’ve ever had.

He’s enjoyed himself and jumped brilliant but just jumping that little bit left has probably cost him the race. We would have been delighted if he was in the first three. It was a tactical, steadily run race and he never gave him too much to do and it worked out well. He went the shortest way round and jumped really well. He was nearly travelling too well for the first mile of the race, he was in his hands a bit. He’s just a very good horse and there is a lot to look forward to with him. He needed to back up that Punchestown run (in April). People might have thought we were mad taking on very good horses in the spring and he’s done the same today. This is very sweet. I knew John (Durkan) very well and this is the 25th anniversary of this race. He’s a horse that takes his racing well so there is four and a half weeks until the Savills. The horse will tell us.

Martin (Brassil) always had a lot of faith in the horse, he's some trainer isn't he?. He was running over two miles and he wasn't struggling too much overt that trip, so we were always wondering if he got three miles could he do something like this. I was planning to hold on to a bit, I think he likes to be ridden like that. It is a long way around on this outside track, there's a long way off the bend to the second-last. I just wanted to hang on and save a bit to come home and see what happened then. It's unbelievable! It is unreal and I owe a big thank you to Sean and Bernardine (Mulryan, owners), Paddy Aspell, Martin and all the lads there. These big rides are hard to come by. Martin has between 15 and 20 horses, he had Panda Boy who was fifth in an Irish Grand National and Longhouse Poet. To do that with a small team of horses is unbelievable. He was going to be carrying top weight in a lot of those handicaps so we just felt we might as well dip our toe in the water and see how much we find. There were only five runners and the first two in the betting had hard races in the Gold Cup. If there was a bit of a chink in the armour I thought we could hopefully exploit that. I didn't think we'd win but I thought we wouldn't be far away. They quickened from the back of the fourth last and instead of going with them he hunted away behind them. JJ is a cool customer, he took the shortest way around and the horse jumped well, everything fell into place. The Mulryans are great suppo
