Another winner for Elliott and Kennedy as Wodhooh shows real grit
She's tough and he (Jack Kennedy) said it probably would have suited more if they had gone faster. He said he was kind of on his own in front and she was looking around her,. She's tough, she has won three now and she hasn't done anything wrong. She did (have to jump well today), she has learned more from today probably than she has in her last couple of runs. She is very laid-back and doesn't do anything at home, she isn't flashy at home. She will probably go to Newbury now for the Listed hurdle on the 5th December. The horses are running well and we had a winner in Gowran (Harmonya Maker), so we can't complain.
Down Memory Lane another "good one" for Elliott

Gerri Colombe edges out Envoi Allen in Champion Chase thriller
We were delighted with him – we knew there would be improvement in him today, his first run in open company. As Brian (Acheson, of owner Robcour) said, he only came back in on September 19, so there’s loads of improvement. We’ll have one run now and then the Gold Cup. He showed that he is in the mix now for the Gold Cup, he stays very well and that’s what you need. I was delighted that he settled into a rhythm, the other horse (Conflated) was going a bit left and was taking Jack’s horse’s eye off the fence a bit. I was a bit worried the whole way because Conflated does go left, but I did tell Jack to give him a bit of light and get him into a rhythm. Jack said he was a bit rusty early, but I thought he was pretty much foot-perfect apart from one for a novice stepping into open company. The sky is the limit. He’s a great horse because he shows you absolutely nothing at home – he’s very laid-back, he’s a gentleman.
Elliott's stranglehold on Down Royal proceedings continues with Ash win
A great day but, as I said before, I am very lucky with the horses I have and all the staff. I'm delighted for all the owners too.
