I was having a tough day. I thought the horse in the first race (Runyon Rattler) would win but I knew he would struggle on the ground a little. I asked Johnny (Kinsella) to jump him off at the back and to sneak away but sure then he got left at start. It was my own fault in ways because he had done that at Downpatrick before. When he caught up with the ones behind he probably should have pressed on a little bit. It looked like we were going to have a tough day but that was powerful. We ran him on ground that was too quick the last day and he just didn't handle it so we waited for soft ground again. He is owned by Sean Osborne who has been my best friend for years. He was training himself but he just didn't take out his licence this year. It's a great thrill to win a race for my best friend. P J Rothwell, trainer
