Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Mr Hollywood (IRE)

I was hoping it might be the other way around! Emmet’s horse (Jeroboam Machin) ran very well and then my wife’s filly (Al Arrivee) ran a cracker as well, she was a little free up the front,. I think the winner is improving, his jumping will improve, so he’ll improve over hurdles. Probably a trip to York for the Ebor might be next on the agenda. That jumping will just put him in a nicer frame of mind, I think. Looking at the way he finished there, and in Ascot, I think he deserves a crack at a big prize over in York.
