That was obviously a bit special as Ciaran (Collins) one of the boys that owns the horse is very sick in hospital and they're not sure if he'll even get through the night,. Hopefully he' was able to listen to the race and it'll give him a bit of a lift. He went to school with Robert Power and was really good friends with him. It was a great day for him to win. It's rough for the boys and on his family. He's from Moynalvey and the boys have been with me almost from when I started training. They had a lot of bad ones and a few alright ones but this lad is probably the best we've had. To be honest I didn't care about the result once I won it but I was cheering for the winner. He missed a bit of time before the Cork race and we knew he was fitter today. That was his Gold Cup and if he never wins again it doesn't matter. He's not a bad horse and could be an Irish National horse. Gordon Elliott, trainer
