David Christie was out of luck with Vaucelet at Cheltenham but got on the scoresheet at Down Royal as Ultimate Optimist took the Bluegrass Mare Prepare Hunters Chase in decisive fashion. Fri 17th MarChristie entitled to be Optimistic after festive double
After Vaucelet's last gasp win at Down Royal on Saint Stephen's Day, David Christie and Barry O'Neill enjoyed a much easier winner with Ultimate Optimist in the maiden hunters' chase at Limerick. Tue 27th Dec
After race at Limerick Tue, 27th Dec, 2022 (1st)
We really liked him. He was very weak when we got him but we knew that and Rob James (previous rider) said to me that he could be a nice horse but has taken a lot of time to find himself. Just in the last four or five weeks he has started to get strong. He has won two point-to-points for me, now he has won his hunters chase and he is an out-and-out stayer with a bit of class. We gave him a bit of work last Monday with Vaucelet and there wasn't too much difference between the two but we were concerned as we hadn't ran him on this ground before. I think he will be a top horse and he is also a special horse to me too as the first day he won for me, was the day my father died. He would always be different from the rest for me. We will have to have a think about plans now and it is nice after winning with Vaucelet yesterday to sit back and give the whole thing consideration. This horses is only a six year old so we have to try and make him last if we can so I don't want to make any wrong moves with him (regarding running at Cheltenham this year) But I do regard him as top class.
