Elliott's Stellar Story takes to hurdling in Navan

He's a nice horse. Jack said he'd come on from it too as he had a bit of a blow. I was a bit worried in the back straight when the other horse was going with us, but he said he'd come on plenty from it and we're delighted. He was bought to be a big staying chaser.

Elliott and Kennedy at double with Fortunedefortunata

They are all lads (Breakaway's Syndicate) that I went to school with so it's great,. We didn't give a fortune for him and today was the plan, thankfully it worked out for him. He loves really heavy ground. He probably wouldn't take a lot of running quickly.

Elliott fires in Navan treble via What's Up Darling

He's a quick horse. He probably got racing a bit early but he won so it's great,. The other horse (Dee Capo) ran a serious race, Jack (Kennedy) said he tried to hang off the track on the far side. He probably gave away a lot of lengths. Jack said he thought he was going to pull him up, but when he straightened out he sprinted again. I had the one-two so I won't complain.

Bob Olinger back with a bang in Navan

I'm delighted. You know where we hold him, he's one of the best horses I've ever trained. Last year was tough, but it's lovely to see him back. He was brilliant and Rachael was super on him, she gave him a brilliant ride. There are a lot of people to thank but I have to mention Robert Power and Brian (Acheson). We stopped with him last January and Robbie has done a lot of work with him during the summer and into this season. He came down to us looking amazing. There are a lot of people to thank, the team at home, but Robbie stands out for all the work he's done with him. We better ask him what he was doing and start doing it with all of them!. He stayed at it really well. The way he burst through and then I thought 'oh no it's the same as last year when Zanahiyr came back at him'. I thought we were in trouble there, obviously Zanahiyr picked up and we were a bit slow at the last. It was lovely to see, he's a real good horse and it's nice to see him hopefully starting to come back. It was a tough race, his first run since January.

Tingle Creek an option for dynamic Captain Guinness as de Bromhead/Blackmore double up

I'm delighted with that, he jumped brilliant. Rachael (Blackmore) was brilliant on him again. I thought that was one of his best performances that I've seen for a while. I loved the way he picked up to the line, he was brilliant. At every fence he went in four behind and landed two behind, he was so good. There was one halfway down the back that he winged and I don't think that Rachael even expected it. I entered him in the Tingle Creek and I'll speak to Declan and see. It's three weeks so potentially he could go there. We'll definitely consider it or otherwise Leopardstown at Christmas. I always thought he was better on better ground but he loved that there. In the Champion Chase I said to Declan that we'd run him but he probably wouldn't like the ground but he loved it.
