Footpad leads home Mullins 1, 2, 3

Danny took matters into his own hands. He felt they were going quick enough, and got him settled in behind and jumping. He jumped too big at Christmas, and the hood was a help. Let's Dance was staying on again at the finish and would have been second in another few yards. She did all the hard work, and will learn a lot from that. Allblak Des Places also ran a cracker, and I'd imagine all three will go for the Triumph.

Who's That does it again

The line just came in time. She probably got there a shade soon. She travelled very well and jumped the last well and she was there. She probably got a little bit lonely and the line just came in time. It's a great pot to win for a mare, she won it last year and she was three pound higher today. The second, third and fourth from last year have all done well since. She ran a nice race here at Christmas when the ground was very testing, and the second horse in that has won twice since. She was always going to come back for this race but after the 7mm of rain overnight I was worried. It's lovely for a small trainer like me to have a winner here today. She might go over fences and it would be lovely to get a bit of blacktype with her.

Rouge leaves punters feeling Bleu

He ran very well at Christmas and he learned an awful lot. I think Barry went out there with a bit of confidence after talking to Mark (Walsh). The plan was to make it with Bellshill and for Bleu Et Rouge to follow him. I was a bit surprised that Barry took on Bellshill so far out but Ruby said that Bellshill just wasn’t giving him the same feel that he normally gives him. He had to reach a bit for the first one down the back, and maybe it took a bit out of him. Barry did the right thing and his horse just looked a bit green going to the last. Barry thought that if he could keep a bit up his sleeve going to the last that he might beat Tombstone, which he did. All the jockeys are saying it’s very testing so another two or three furlongs of the Neptune might suit him. “Petit Mouchoir took a fair pull and then stopped quickly.

Outlander completes G1 treble for Mullins

It was a good battle between himself and Pont, and Pont just then seemed to fold. Outlander just galloped and jumped and that’s what he does. I’m looking forward now to next month with him. He's coming on all the time. He stays and jumps which is what you want in a good horse. He could go either way (JLT or RSA), and whatever way the owners want to go I'll be happy. I'd imagine they will want to keep them separate (in reference to No More Heroes). He idles a bit in front as he showed today but I never mind that as it shows they have more to give. Pont Alexandre was jumping a bit to the right so I will see if there is something amiss with him, he was a little disappointing and he probably wants a longer trip at this stage of his life. I thought McKinley was going to get into at the fourth last but he just got tired. He will probably go back to handicaps and may want better ground.

Four for Mullins as Blazer wins well

Fences were not his first love so we said that we would go back hurdling at this stage of the year. He took to hurdles far better and jumped well. He’ll stay handicapping and being by Network should be able to go out in trip.

Carlingford claims dramatic Gold Cup

I didn't think he could win two (Irish Gold Cups). He was in good form but I was just hoping to be in the first four. I told Mark to ride him to finish, and it worked. I think he won despite the ground, and if he was up with the pace I don’t think he would have got home. Going to the last you could see he was finding a new lease of life, and I thought he had a chance then. It’s lovely for Mark as he’s done a lot of the ground work.

Tragic conclusion after Know makes all

Well-backed Sunni wins the bumper

He was a bit fresh first time out this year, and he has got a bit hardier. He won't be going hurdling till next year, and he won't go to Cheltenham but he could go to Aintree or Punchestown. He will be a much better horse on better ground. I was worried today because the ground was so horrible.
