He isn't a winter-ground horse and wants nice ground so he obviously got it there today. It makes a big difference to him and he wouldn't carry 12 stone either, so it was grand only having 10st 8lb today. JJ (Slevin) said there is a good pot in him and we'll look at some of those Nationals now and could bring him to England. Today was the plan so now we'll work on the next one. any winner is nice and we had a lean enough winter, so to win a race with the 'Taaffe' name on it is great. My father was the first person to win on Arkle in 1962 and was a lucky man. He was one of four to win on Arkle, along obviously with Tom Taaffe. I wouldn't have many winter horses and have more nicer-ground ones so hopefully they're starting to click now. It is a great festival, I've been watched it on television all week and there have been great crowds. It is nice when it works out well although I'm on chemotherapy myself at the moment, but am getting through it well.
