I thought Mark gave the horse a fantastic ride and I'm delighted for JP and everyone at home. The start was very messy and I thought Mark done very well to get away good. He got into a lovely rhythm jumping. Obviously experience was a big question mark but we were delighted to see the rain coming and it was a big help to him. I was a little bit worried when he missed the second last but I knew he'd be coming home well. It's a very special race to win. I remember years ago always hearing about Life Of A Lord winning the race a couple of times for Dad so it's a very special race to win. We'd all love to be there but please God we'll all be there next year. Joseph Patrick O'Brien, trainer
