We were under pressure running him and I hope this win doesn't go unnoticed,. We wouldn't run the horse unless he was in good form and this is great and he is retired now. We love all the horses in the yard, horses are first and foremost and while I want to train winners, we love the horses and in fairness to Camilla (Sharples, Elliott's head lass and owner of the winner) it is great. Everyone in the yard looks after this horse and he has also won 14 point-to-points. He will stay in the yard now to lead the young horses and it is brilliant. Gordon Elliott, trainer
