It was magic . great. I'm delighted for Timmy (Fitzgerald, winning owner). He was 'ballsy' enough to buy him when a few other lads shied away and didn't go through with the deal. He's a great fella. He's a Kerry man but he's changed his colours to the Dubs. He's up there for the past thirty or forty years. He's up there beside me in north County Dublin even though I'm an out and out Meath man myself. I don't know where we'll go now. He's a decent horse. He was very unlucky in Galway. He just needed time. He's a big old fashioned type. He had the class to do that so I'm sure there's probably another race or two like that in him. We'll get him home and take it from there.
