After race at Sligo Wed, 28th Sep, 2011 (1st)

Ruby said he hated being out in front,. It was a nice pot and well worth coming for. He might go to Cheltenham in October now for a novice chase. He'll get a bit of experience over there and might be a four-miler in time as he stays very well.

After race at Tramore Thu, 11th Aug, 2011 (1st)

that was great! Traffic Article has done plenty of racing and probably deserves a few weeks off now. We might go for a three miles novice chase at Cheltenham in October next. He is owned by Patrick Mackin from Banbridge, Co Down.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Downpatrick Sat, 16th Oct, 2010 (1st)

You had to fancy him today on his form in the book. We'll look at a novice hurdle in England for him next perhaps. If the Adrian Maguire horse (Good Time Donie) hadn't made such a bad mistake at the first he might have won though as he was very heavily backed.
