Quotes on Doddiethegreat (IRE)

We all like Doddie; he’s named after Doddie Weir and it all goes to the foundation. He got the most horrible overreach and spent time up in Ayr. It didn’t look like he would get back to a racecourse, but thankfully he did.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Happy Jacky (IRE)

He gets a bit of heat stress after his races but he does that the whole time. The IHRB vets know him and that he gets a bit of heat stress and they had loads of help straight after the race. Once he gets a few buckets of water he could go around again. The vets are a great help down there. He’s as tough as boots and I thought he was beaten three times. He battled back well to the line and Peter was brilliant on him.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Hewick (IRE)

Paddy said he took a good blow at the top of the hill but I knew he would, as he is only back in training seven weeks. He got one blow in the Curragh and my own new gallop at home is very good, but he said he'll improve a lot from it. He is a dream horse and he loves it. . I'd like to see Paddy staying on him for the year but T J (McDonald) might have different ideas. We'll see but I think the two of them have a bond and when a horse has a bond with a jockey, I'd love to keep it together. That's up to T J though. He has the Betvictor Champion Chase in Down Royal or the Charlie Hall in Wetherby next but it depends on the ground. Today's race will put him spot on and we're going wherever there is goodish ground. I know he is a 10 year old but I feel he is better and stronger this year and he has put a backside to himself now. he was beaten only 18 lengths in the Grand National and while I wondered whether he stayed the distance, hitting the third-last knowing the stuffing out of him. . Every race is an aim but why not try the Grand National again. He is a great people's horse and I met so many who were here to see Hewick today.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Hiddenvalley Lake (IRE)

he did it very nicely and Rachael was brilliant on him. I thought he was struggling turning in and then he picked up really well - I'd say he quickened after the second-last. I'm delighted for the Achesons especially Rob (son) who was very persuasive about buying him. Some members of the team didn't want him but Rob put his foot down, so fair play to him. You need to stay running around here and we'll pencil in the Albert Bartlett (at Cheltenham). He could run at Clonmel in a graded hurdle in February in the race which Monalee won for us (in 2017) and Minella Indo finished second to Allaho (in 2019).

He ran well in the race the last couple of years and he was a good bit better off at the weights this year. It is very much his first run of the year, but I thought he really went through the race well and jumped well. Danny was impressed with him. I couldn't be happier. We always keep him fresh, so we will wait for Christmas (Hurdle at Leopardstown) now and then he will go from Christmas to Cheltenham. His path kind of plots itself.

Quotes on Honesty Policy (IRE)

He's a nice horse. The further he goes I'd say the better he will be. In fairness, Aubrey (McMahon) bought him out of Pat Doyle's and recommended him to Fran (Mangan, owner), and I was lucky enough that they sent him to me. He had a good run the last day in Naas, and he followed up there today. We have no real plan, but I'd imagine he is going in the right direction. He will be a nice chaser down the road.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Air Of Entitlement (IRE)

We knew we had the stamina and obviously the New course suits. We always worry about being too handy in this race and Rachael got it spot-on. I thought they went a really good gallop and she gave her some spin. She stayed on really well. I thought when we winged the last we had a chance and I knew Keith (Donoghue, riding Sixandahalf) was up there the whole way, which historically hasn’t worked. It’s a long way up that straight, I thought we had a chance after jumping the last and I’m delighted.
