It's really very special when Tommy Dowd comes to you in the parade ring and says 'I'm more nervous now than I was on All-Ireland day'. I said 'ah come on, sure we don't have anything to do anymore — it's up to Ben now!'. In fairness to the horse, you have to say he has improved immensely. He picked up a little injury last year and I suppose it stood to him this year. He's been very straightforward this year and the races have come for him at the right time. There was no pace today and I said to Ben to let him roll along. He's a leader, he leads the string at home. I knew when they turned in that they weren't going to get to him because he wouldn't stop. He won over a mile-and-a-half last time. It was a great ride. It's great for a syndicate to rock up on Derby weekend and be competitive in a very competitive Group 3. You can see the enjoyment it gives people, racing has that. J P Murtagh, trainer
