That's unbelievable. I had a tear in my eye for half the race, I'm not afraid to say it. We've had a tough year and it's brilliant. We started off having a bit of fun around Perth with him and he hasn't let us down the whole way. That's 12 races he's won now and he's a horse of a lifetime. He got into a lovely rhythm, he does that. He's a good horse and he stays like hell. He'll go straight to the Gold Cup now. I don't think he was much fitter today than he was in Down Royal but he got confidence out of that race. Jamie Codd gave him a beautiful ride, he hit the line well. I think the three-miles-two of the Gold Cup trip will suit him well. The way he stays if he can get into a rhythm anywhere at all, I wouldn't care if he was first or last going out on the last circuit, he'll come very strong in the Gold Cup. The horses have run out of their skin all week and to win that race is unbelievable. Ronnie Bartlett is a brilliant owner, a good friend and he's a gentleman. Russell is a great friend of mine, we've been friends since riding in point-to-points at 16 or 17-years-of-age. I'm very lucky to have Davy and Jack (Kennedy) at the moment. That meant a lot to Davy as well as he's very close to Ronnie. We don't let him ride for anyone else at the moment, he's too good to be giving to anyone else!' Gordon Elliott, trainer
