Robbie said the couple of runs over hurdles have sharpened him up a lot,. He went three miles the last time so Robbie said 'I can jump out and make it and make them come to me'. I said you were very brave at the last and he said 'I didn't know how near they were'. I said to him 'if you'd fallen you were going to go from here to Carlow before you stopped'. We'll keep him going, I'm not sure quite where, as long as the ground is good. I haven't a clue where he'll go as I didn't exactly expect to win this. He'll get a break during the winter and will go out. I made him run all through the winter as a younger horse and now I'm getting sense. He'll go three miles on that ground because he wasn't stopping today. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
