She's a good mare, a proper mare. She's is very, very good - I don't say that about too many,. Jack said he couldn't get a lead any longer on her and he said she wasn't doing a stroke in front. She'll come on from it too as we missed a little bit of time with her, nothing serious just niggly things. She's got a pedigree to be nice and her future is in front of her. She looks like a chaser. I'd say at the moment she doesn't want that far, she's got a bit of boot for a big mare, but we had nothing else to run her in because I missed her last engagement and I didn't want to go to England with her.

After race at Punchestown Sat, 23rd Nov, 2024 (1st)  I know she had race fitness, but I thought it was a good performance. Everything went wrong for her because she was on her own in front. She would be better with a lead. We knew two miles would be a bit short for her, but she had race fitness and we had to make use of it. She was idling in front and wasn’t doing a stroke, so you would have to be happy. She is having a good blow, so there is plenty of improvement in her. She’s a good mare. The Mares' Hurdle is probably the race made for her, but we’ll see what happens. Leopardstown could be a bit sharp for her, but we’ll have a chat with Michael and Eddie (O'Leary) and see what they would like to do. Gordon Elliott

After race at Punchestown Sat, 23rd Nov, 2024 (1st)  To be honest, I think she hated it out in front. She did all the donkey work and she was very tough. State Man came and laid down his challenge, and she didn’t lie down to him so that was great. I had an idea they were going to try and keep it steady, so I just had to go and make the running on her. It didn’t suit her, but it worked out. We’ll see what the lads say what the plan is. She would have had to do that today anyway (to go for the Champion Hurdle) and thankfully she did. She’s improving away the whole time. I think she will have learned plenty today as well and it might make her kind of grow up a bit more, having to go and do it. I know she had race fitness, but I thought it was a good performance,. he said. Everything went wrong for her because she was on her own in front. She would be better with a lead. Gordon Elliott

After race at Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2024 (1st)  We didn’t want it turning into a sprint – we kind of thought Paul (Townend, on Daddy Long Legs) might try to stack them up in front. I said to Sam ‘look, go out and go a good gallop the whole way’. He said it wasn’t ideal because she was looking around in front the whole way. He said she had a good blow and she will come on plenty from it. If she had winged the last two, she would have won a couple of lengths. She is never going to win more than what she is going to, but it’s great to win. Gordon Elliott

After race at Aintree Sat, 13th Apr, 2024 (1st)  The horses have been running well week, but we’ve been hitting the crossbar. I said a lot about this mare leading up to Cheltenham and I was gutted coming out of it, but we’re overjoyed today. She’s very good, I was nervous before the race because looking at her I thought she looked a bit light across her kidneys, but she showed how special she is. We can go wherever we want with her. I’m not going to say the best mare I’ve had because Apple’s Jade was pretty special, but she’s good. In this game there are always disappointments, but I look at life totally different now, I just love training winners and I love horses. But to win today is unbelievable. I don’t think the trip was the reason she got beat at Cheltenham, I thought she’d win. Willie’s horse (Jade De Grugy) has already come out and won at Fairyhouse. I just think on the day Jack and Paul (Townend) were watching each other and the other horse (Golden Ace) came and did them both. She’s gorgeous to look at. Gordon Elliott

After race at Navan Sun, 11th Feb, 2024 (1st)  She's a good mare, a proper mare. She's is very, very good - I don't say that about too many,.

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 9th Apr, 2023 (1st)  That's the game we're in, you've got to keep your head up and keep going,. We won the last race in Cork and the last race here and she's a sister to Mighty Potter. We'll keep the head up and keep going, it's heartbreaking to lose a horse like him but we won't lie down and we'll try and find the next one. I have good owners behind me and good staff. It's hard for Andy and Gemma Brown, Caldwell Construction, but they are a big part of Cullentra and we'll get behind them and find another one. Everyone is very upset but on a brighter note this is a good mare. It's bitter sweet. That'll be her for the season now. Gordon Elliott
