Quotes on Rising Sky (IRE)
Rising Sky has plenty of headgear on as when I only saw only nine runners, I said I’d throw the kitchen sink at her. Patrick’s 7lb claim was massive as well and thanks to Luke McAteer (jockey) who recommended him. We have some very good riders here and it is just a pity I haven't more horses to try to give them all rides. It is brilliant for the owners as she always had a hard luck story and a big thanks to the lads in the yard, as that's three winners in ten days.
