I think Bellshill just idled a bit in front but David gave him a terrific ride. I’m delighted for Graham Wylie as it hasn’t been that good a season for him. To come back from Fairyhouse where he was very unlucky and win here like that, it just shows what he had left in the tank when he made the mistake at the last in Fairyhouse. He lost concentration just like he did today when he was in front. He has a huge engine. I was amazed he was disqualified (at Fairyhouse), and couldn’t get over that it wasn’t overturned yesterday. I’ve never seen a horse make a mistake at a fence and be disqualified when it was no fault of the rider. There are countless examples of it in Irish racing, and I think the decision opens a huge can of worms. He could be a Gold Cup horse and the performance he put up in Fairyhouse was a Gold Cup performance in my book, and today has just confirmed that. Patrick got a great tune out of Djakadam, and he liked the ground and probably being back at Punchestown as well.
