Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Ehteyat (GER)

I have a lot of supporters and this is my first winner, so is the start of it. I had the choice of coming here or going to Killarney so I'm delighted to be here. He had a few good runs so I was hoping for his right ground and hoped he would break from the stalls and make the running. It turned out he got things his own way. He had a look around but when he straightened him up around the final bend, he knew it was home he was bound. We collected our money so that's what it is all about! He was well-backed each-way and was a good price. I have six horses in at the moment and have two or three syndicates locally in Askeaton, including lads who own the Top Of The Town Pub. I have a few for the Flat, jumps and point-to-points. . I'm from Nenagh, was involved with horses for years and took out my licence last year. I bought Paddy Neville's yard and am working out of that and have been friends with him and his family for years.
