it's great when it works out and I’ve had lots of placed horses but I didn't have a winner at Galway for five years until last night. This has been the plan since we let him off last year; he had some good novice form and thankfully it's worked out. He was one of the three we fancied and it worked out great. It's Donagh's first ride for me and he gave him a good ride. He works for Tony Martin so he's obviously a good rider. I said to him, if he was within a couple of lengths of them two out he'd stay better than any of mine. We've had placed horse before in the Hurdle but to win this is nice. Winning races like this keeps us up there in the trainers championship; unfortunately I'm up against Willie Mullins but we might keep tabs on him for a little longer now!. It's unfortunate for Bryan (Cooper, Gigginstown’s first jockey) as we said if he didn't ride Road To Riches (pulled up) he'd ride this horse. Jack (Kennedy) had the choice but he had to go for Clarcam as he's a bit classier.
Gordon Elliott, trainer
The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Road To Riches, trained by Noel Meade, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have been struck into on his left hindleg, lost a shoe on the same leg and was slightly lame post race. B.J. Cooper, rider of Road To Riches trained by Noel Meade, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount made a bad mistake at the third fence and never travelled thereafter. The Stewards interviewed D. Meyler, rider of Lord Scoundrel, concerning his use of the whip in latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that D. Meyler was in breach of R10(3)(f) by using his whip with excessive force and frequency and consequently suspended him for 4 racedays having taken his previous record into consideration.
