Priests battles well to claim bumper

Priests Road showed admirable battling qualities to claim the concluding Pudsar O'Toole Memorial Bumper at Fairyhouse. Tue 06th Apr

After race at Navan Sun, 15th Jan, 2012 (1st)

I was very disappointed with him the last day but he probably needed the run a bit. He worked really well the other day. He is a three mile chaser in the making but it's so late in the season now we will wait until next year to go chasing with him. We will find a three mile winners hurdle for him now.

Noel Meade

After race at Naas Sat, 15th Jan, 2011 (1st)

He is a nice horse that stays well. He is from the same family as Denman and it took him a long time to come to himself. He was a big baby when he ran last year (runner-up to Priests Road at Fairyhouse last April). He was a little keen early today and I don't think he'll run in another bumper. I'll run him in a couple of hurdles and he'll go over fences then.
