He's a very, very special horse and I'm very lucky to be riding him. I thought when Jody (Townend on It's For Me) went along the outside, we got racing plenty early and I was just trying to bide my time. You can get sucked in there a bit early around that bend to get racing. He's so straightforward, he has so much class. It just wows me. He's such an honest horse, he gives you 110 per cent every morning even on the gallop. He tries his heart out for you and he had to dig deep today. I thought he was even more impressive today to show that toughness. He's an amazing horse to keep his form for so long. He had to dig deep at the end, I think Patrick's horse (Mullins on Tullyhill) is a very decent horse. John was against a strong man and did well for his age. The races all came at a distance apart, they were timed that we were able to work it. The space between Dublin, Cheltenham and now suited us. JP was a great man to go out and buy him but he bought a nice horse. He's a great battler, he battles well and that's a big plus. I couldn't have had him better and I was delighted with him coming here. He had jumped before we thought anything of him but since he showed us something we were minding him. From here on now I'd say he'll learn to jump. I'll keep going for another while but very soon my nephew Tommy is going to join me on the licence. He'll take over and do long journeys and I can sit back and watch. I'll be around though for as long as I'm left. This horse is worth getting

I was always happy with the horse all the way through, he’s been a nice horse since day one but I was concerned about the ground today to be honest. I knew the horse was tip-top but I was worried about the ground so I’m delighted with the way it worked out. Just with the ground I worried that he’d get there too soon, but the young man was fantastic. He’s been coming in every morning to ride him. He’ll muck out and he’ll do everything, I just hope he keeps his feet on the ground now. I’ve been coming here since 1976 and we had the winner of the Stayers’ Hurdle in 1993 with Shuil Ar Aghaidh (trained by his brother, Paddy). I’m 86 in May, I gave up riding three years ago with Covid. I’ve spent my life in racing, you never think as a youngster you’d get to be in this hallowed spot. This horse is named well isn’t he, they named him on Christmas day as a family, A Dream To Share, it’s lovely.

I didn't know to be honest because we haven't that much to work him with but we always liked him. We were thinking 'how good was the race in the junction' and then he seemed to struggle a little in Roscommon. Until you come out and find out here you don't know. He gave weight to the whole lot as well. We liked him and we were anxious that he would bring John Gleeson along, that's why we waited for this race. We would have gone hurdling other than that.
