Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Direct Approach (IRE)

Kieron is a big supporter of Cullentra, is with us a long time and he has just told me that this is his sixth horse with us, and all have won. He is always there to buy one and I'm delighted for him. We might have had luck on our side as we got first run on the runner-up, but he had the experience and fitness, so we left him stride on. He is Flat-bred, but he's a gorgeous-looking horse and that's why we bought him, although he wasn't easy to train in the early days.
