Arbor the Champ in Downpatrick opener

She could have been tidier with a few jumps she put in that were erratic. She does everything right - she travels well and she'll get black type somewhere along the line. She's a lovely big mare and she might even jump a fence. The ground is beautiful, it nearly always is up here. They do a great job.

That's the first time I've met Helen (Mooney) but she gave her a super ride. She was spot on where she was supposed to be. She ran well at Clonmel and didn't really find. Apparently there was a lot of rain which I would say maybe deadened her pace. She likes the good ground and travelled sweet as a nut (today). It was a good run-in, I thought anything could happen on the run-in. Downpatrick has been very lucky for me. I haven't had that many National Hunt horses over the last year or two. We have won bumpers here. The last bumper horse I had won here about three years ago. She has had a tough campaign. We were going to leave her off for the autumn but you never know, the plans could change. She might have hit a sweet spot. She is a very honest mare owned by people (Bill MacKenzie and family) who have been great supporters of mine this year or so with this mare. It means an awful lot to them so I'm delighted.
