Blackmore Triumphs again with Quilixios

It’s been an incredible week. He’s a lovely horse, but we’ve only just got him. He’s a gorgeous horse and I’m pleased for Cheveley Park, as they are great supporters of ours. All credit to Gordon and his team as he looked amazing on joining us, we’ve done very little with him. We knew he jumped really well, and had been really impressive before today and he’s a lovely looking horse. He’ll be a nice chaser in time. I wouldn’t know about next year, we’ll have a chat and see what everyone wants to do.

Vanillier claims Albert Bartlett victory

That was fantastic. I wasn’t sure how he’d act on better ground as he’s quite a slow horse, but Mark said he travelled with loads of enthusiasm today. He showed an extra gear there he hasn’t shown before and we know he stays well. I’m not surprised he won, but I’m surprised how well he won. The ground at Christmas at Limerick was knee deep, but he stayed on well at the finish. He had a small wind op after that, but at the Dublin Racing Festival he ran no race, like all mine there that weekend and he came back a sick horse. He’s bounced back, though. He’ll go chasing next season, he’s a proper staying chaser of the future.

Minella Indo leads Gold Cup 1-2 for De Bromhead

It was incredible. Jack was brilliant on Minella Indo, who is just such a tough horse. It’s all down to the crew at home, who work so hard. And the support of all our clients, it’s just brilliant. Whatever it is about here — he’s a little bit like Put The Kettle On — he just comes alive. He’s fast asleep at home on a daily basis, but even saddling him today, he was like he was before the Albert Bartlett — he was kicking the back door and so up for it. We obviously had the mishap at Christmas and he wasn’t as good in the Irish Gold Cup, but we wanted to get a clear round that day and Rachael rode him brilliantly. It’s all come together here and it’s fantastic. To win a Cheltenham Gold Cup is something you dream about.
