It is absolutely brilliant. Our family are long associated with here. I honestly thought he would run very, very well. The last winner for the family here was in 1965, trained by my grandfather Eamon Delany and ridden by Francis Flood, which was obviously 60 years ago today. It was one I wanted to get on the CV (winner in Laytown) and Pat from Malahide Bloodstock pointed this fella out and I think we bought him in May in a claimer in Limerick. He was third in this race last year, so Pat said he could be the horse for us. I'm very thankful to Pat. This was the plan so a few lads got with me too. Jordan has been very lucky to us over jumps and he gave Escaping Thejungle a great ride here last year (in fourth). He asked me if I had anything going to Laytown and I said I did, and he asked if I would put him up. I was delighted to put him up and we were second in the first race (Zero Fighter). Dad (trainer Eamon Delany) is at home and he is not in the best of health, and this is better than any medication. You can't get this medication. I'm very lucky with the staff we have and the owners we have that support us. There's a huge crowd here all backing us. E D Delany, trainer
