He’s a nice horse and we always liked him. I thought he was going to win in Punchestown and then he just got outbattled. Davy (Russell) felt he went a bit soon the last day, so we said we’d take our time. I’m delighted for the owners who are new to the game. We’ll look to the spring and see what is there.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident near the finish involving Deep Cave, ridden by Rachael Blackmore, Firm Footings, ridden by J.W. Kennedy, and Lot Of Joy, ridden by P. Townend where it appeared that the horses may have drifted and made some contact. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In her evidence, Rachael Blackmore stated that she was maintaining a straight racing line until her mount got unbalanced and went left and may have made some contact with Lot Of Joy which was edging to the right. P. Townend stated that his mount initially lay in on Firm Footings before being corrected but moved outward and glanced off Deep Cave. J.W. Kennedy stated that the finishers were inexperienced horses and he had received very little interference
