Bottler executes Galway plan for Murphy
Bottler'secret swooped in the final furlong to claim the Bathshack Maiden at Galway for Colm Murphy. Sat 05th Aug
He’s a nice horse. It might not have been the greatest renewal of a Grade 3 but for his first day he jumped well. He was a little bit big and slow early on but the further he went the better he got. It would have been nice if we’d got more experience into him. I thought we’re getting on in the year and we’d pitch him in at the deep end. If he didn’t win he’d be a novice next year. He’s in the Triumph but I don’t know if he’ll go there. If he had a bit more experience he would but it is what it is at this stage. There are plenty of options at Fairyhouse, Aintree and Punchestown.

He's a lovely straightforward horse. He races lazily which you'd love in a horse coming off the Flat. He jumped really well there today. The cheekpieces just helped him travel a little bit better. He was behind the bridle a lot the last day. He went to the line really well and hopefully there is more to come. I wouldn't say he has to have it this soft, I'd say on the Flat it was important because he probably just lacked a gear.

He goes on any ground but really went on that ground today and Dylan was very strong on him and was teaching him as well. He was one we kept for Galway and it worked out beautifully,. I'm delighted for the lads who are from Portarlington and Kinnegad and bought him as a yearling and they came in with me. I have to compliment them as I didn't want to run him last year as he was backward and they said to do what I wanted. We brought him back this year, I told the lads we'd have one run before Galway and I really appreciate their trust in me to do that. This was always the plan, we couldn't have asked for any more and we haven't thought beyond today. He is bred to be a 1m2f-1m4f horse and we're very happy with him.
