It’s been an unbelievable day. It’s my first treble, we’ve had a couple of doubles before and been close to trebles,. Thanks to everyone in the yard, they all work hard at home. We’ve had a complete change around in staff in the last few months and it’s all working out. I’m delighted with the way things are going at the moment. He got a bit of a cut to his knee so we’ll drop him off at the vets on the way home. It’s great for the McParlands and for Ronan, he gave him a great ride. Early on I thought he was plenty far back but he knew they were going plenty quick and in fairness he rode a lovely race. I thought the handicapper was hard enough on him the last day when he gave him 10lb but I suppose he was right! Hopefully he won’t be as hard on him next time. In fairness the horse is probably still in training because of Ronan, to give him a bit of experience. As long as the ground stays nice he’ll tip away and he might go back over fences the next time.
