3 on the day for Elliott as Envoi Allen delights on chase debut
Brilliant! You loved the way he switched off and went by them, you just love his attitude. You couldn’t be happier,. Jack (Kennedy) said he popped away and he quickened after the second last. That’s what he was bought for, he’s a chaser and it’s nice to get that out of the way. He was good and coming out of Colin Bowe’s (where he won his point-to-point) he had plenty of work done (over fences). I imagine all being well he will go for the Drinmore.
Skyace crowns Hanlon's year at 66/1
She has her black-type - It was a great piece of buying and placing by Shark. She had a hard race and got a fall the last day (in Tipperary). Shark had her back in tip-top shape today. Two miles is a bit on the sharp side for her but they have gone so fast it turned into a bit of a stamina test. She was going best at the line. There were a couple of good mares in the race, but I honestly thought she'd finish in the first three.

Ragin Cajun makes excellent start for Smith
He’s a horse that wouldn’t show you a whole lot at home, he’s quite lazy at home so it’s hard to judge him. That’s why we threw the cheek-pieces on him. It’s better that way when they don’t show much at home and do it on the track. Obviously it is his first run for a long time, we’ll see how he comes out of that and all being well we will kick on.
Bridge Native wins for the 5th time in 2020
A 4th of the day for Elliott as Energy makes winning start for the Browns
Jamie (Codd) is mad about him and he has a great attitude,. He’s only four and a baby. We might just leave him for the spring and some of those better bumpers. I liked the way he stayed there, he is a real stayer. I think faster ground will suit him. He might not be a horse for heavy, heavy ground but all those festivals you don’t want heavy ground.
