The whole secret to Cahirdown Boy is to throw the reins at him, as it makes him settle: if you grab any hold of him, he will arrive at the second-last fence but his race will have been run. Once you throw the reins at him, he will settle. Sean did a marvellous job and while we weren't going to lead with (front-runner) Kilashee in the race, as long as the horse was relaxed he was going to come home well. That is why I wanted Sean to ride him. Sean Curran is a wonderful owner from Spiddle and has had three Kerry National winners for me. We go back a long way and while unfortunately he wasn't able to come today, his son Sean is here and will be more than happy to collect the trophy. Gaelic Des Chastys really loves quick ground but got away with it today.

We knew we had him really right today and he was in super form. Today's ground wouldn't be in his favour, he is definitely better on better ground but I thought Conor gave him a good ride. I could be guilty as it has taken me three years to figure out how to ride this horse - he is very keen and we've always held him up but I said to Conor today that we have to try something different. We made a conscious decision to drop him back in trip but to jump him out in front and to try and get the keeness out of him. I've been guilty of giving the wrong instructions for three years but it worked well today!. Sean Curran is a fabulous, loyal owner and we've been so successful over the years and I'm thrilled for him.

He wanted a bit of better ground; I ran him at Limerick and the ground was terrible and it was a mistake to run him - it's a mistake I won't make again with him. Today was the best he has jumped and he has been improving a bit. The nicer ground and the step up in trip helped and I think he could keep going for the summer.
