We are delighted. Barry (Browne, winning rider) said the little cut in the ground helped him. I thought it might be more against him the way he ran the last day. He travelled well and jumped well, it was a good battle in the end. . I know Norman Lee (trainer of Oskar High), so the two of us were shouting together, but one of us had to win and one had to be second. We were lucky to be first today. He won two point-to-points so he should get further. He has had a lot of problems but he seems okay now, and touch wood he'll be alright tomorrow. If everything is alright he could go next weekend to Listowel for another handicap hurdle. Barry gave him a lovely ride from start to finish. He jumped well the whole way. He missed one the last day at Sligo at a very critical spot, but he came back on the bridle again and won. He would have won easier there had he not made that mistake. He had a fair battle today. Norman's horse was in front and he had to catch him and go by him. Norman's horse wasn't giving up. They are two grand horses. Oliver McKiernan, trainer
