Quel Rounds Off Brilliant Day for the Mullins'
Blueberry Shows his Old Sparkle
He was disappointing last year and we had different tests done but we don't really know what the problem was, he just wasn't right. He has come here fresh and always seems to run well fresh. Conor knows him from his bumper days and said he felt as well as ever today. I've moved to Rockview Stables in Bellewstown and I'd like to give a lot of the credit to the facilities they have there. Hopefully this win is a sign of things to come,.
Bolger Back in Business in La Touche
I thought he was under the cosh a bit three out but he showed his class. J P is watching at home in Martinstown and the party is probably starting now. Hopefully it'll be the same again for next year. That's the plan anyway.
Square Lands Punt
She'd have won in another two strides in Leopardstown at Christmas. She has gone from strength to strength since winning her point. She didn't get the greatest of passages today but she'd have won well if she'd jumped the last. We were very confident today when we got the ground.
Barker Continues Mullins Domination
I thought coming here today that two miles was a bit sharp for him but he is a spectacular jumper and jumped himself into the lead. David did the right thing by letting him go and he is improving all the time. I thought after his last run at Fairyhouse that we'd go up to three miles. Looking forward to next season and we've plenty of options now distance wise. The team have been in great form all season and the main reason is that they've stayed healthy for so long. We've hardly had a cough or any illness. We've a good team at home and Jackie is more involved this year in the running of the yard. We do a lot of tests on the horses. Everyone knows what they are doing and a lot of the staff have been with me a good few years.
