Peter has been unlucky all week but he's got one up now anyway. I knew this lad would gallop away and that he was fit after winning on his last run. He jumps banks like hell. I won on Big Shu here before - he was in a different class altogether. That's my Gold Cup, and I threw the kitchen sink at it today with three runners. He (Mtada Supreme) was great and always pulls out a bit more. Quantitativeeasing is a class animal but I'd say the La Touche probably took its toll. I love cross country racing, and somebody has to take on Enda Bolger. Peter Maher, trainer
