Quotes

Quotes on King Thistle (GB)

I thought after being second in Down Royal he had a high mark but Patrick's 10lb claim helped. I think he's a good young lad, he's after being on the pony circuit for a while,. He's inexperienced but he has plenty of experience riding. Patrick came to me last year before going back to school but he's here full-time now. He signed on just after Dingle and he's been with me full-time for a couple of months . I think you'll hear a bit more about him, he's not too bad. I think the claim played a big part in it today, he's a small horse and had a big weight. We put the blinkers on him because Ben (Coen) thought the last day that he does look around a bit and he needs to concentrate. I thought seven furlongs at the Curragh today would suit him well. I'm delighted for the owner Noel (Hartley) who has backed us for the last couple of years. It's been hard to win races for him. To win a race at the Curragh means a lot and he's absolutely delighted.
