Sizing punt landed in Downpatrick's first
Inish a nice chaser in the making
He jumped very slick. He has plenty of experience which he benefited from. He looks a nice chaser in the making and he'll stay at that sort of trip. He's a lot better on grass than on the gallops. The staff have done a wonderful job on the ground here, it's nice ground.
McKenna off the mark
This is a special day. I own and train the horse and now my step-son has had his first winner on him. Monica, his mother, will be very proud. We're trying to learn him his trade and his future is over jumps. This horse has been a good servant. I didn't give him much of a chance on that ground but Liam gave him a good ride. He's a tricky customer so Liam did it well. He works hard, he schools over fences and hurdles and he does all I ask. All the bollocking he gets is justified now!

Geraghty makes quick trip to Downpatrick pay
Curley Bill much the best in Downpatrick finale
We were very disappointed at Fairyhouse (2nd there to Expanding Universe), we thought he would win. Maybe we went a bit too soon there with him. You can blow a horse up in the last two furlongs.
