After race at Fairyhouse Mon, 18th Apr, 2022 (1st)

That was great. He gave him a good ride, he jumped and galloped so it was grand,. I thought he wanted softer ground but he seemed to like that ground.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Wexford Wed, 10th Mar, 2021 (1st)

That's a great start for Sneezy and long may it continue. Hopefully we will have plenty of luck together now. It's great for Jack, the horse and the whole team at Cullentra House. It's a great lift for the whole team who have been doing such a great job and I'm just delighted for each and every one of them.
