Down Royal Mon, 5th May, 2025  Quinn The Eskimo We were delighted the last day and he travelled very nice on that summer ground. A fine, big type and he jumped well. He literally couldn't walk on soft ground. We did expect him to come on from the last day where there was marked improvement. He was beaten seven and a-half lengths (in fourth at Fairyhouse), but Richie said he was going to learn an awful lot from that. We just said to ride him where he travels, he jumped his way to the front too soon. I'm delighted for a horse that was sold at home that it has worked out. We would have had Discorama in Andrew Gemmell's colours as well, he was only beaten in a photo finish in the four miler at Cheltenham and he went on to run very well in the Aintree National. He was a right good horse. He (Gemmell) loves his racing and is a great supporter and the one thing about Andrew is that he is able for the bad days and there are more of them.
