Cheltenham Thu, 13th Mar, 2025  Bob Olinger It’s unbelievable, a super ride from Rachael and great work from all the team at home. To get him back like that is incredible and I’m delighted for everyone. Davy Roche, my assistant, he’d take a bullet for him – he adores him. He said he worked well the other day and he’ll be ecstatic. He’s just a class horse and he was unbeaten here. I was at a preview event a few weeks ago and I wasn’t looking at the betting, but he was 66-1 and I was thinking ‘oh my God’, I couldn’t believe it. He’s a bit of a poser and a dude who loves the attention and deserves every bit he gets. He comes alive here and obviously loves it here. We had a couple of funny years with him, but he’s back now. You always hope they’ll come back and win another big one, but I never foresee anything winning anything!. You live the dream and you hope and try to maintain them as well as you can. It’s so hard to get a good horse, so when you get a good one, you want to try and maintain them for as long as you can and I really feel we try to do that. It’s brilliant for Rachael. She’s just so good and is such a professional who works so hard. When she came back from injury our horses hit a bad patch of form, but she just does what she does – she’s class.

Cheltenham Thu, 13th Mar, 2025  Air Of Entitlement We knew we had the stamina and obviously the New course suits. We always worry about being too handy in this race and Rachael got it spot-on. I thought they went a really good gallop and she gave her some spin. She stayed on really well. I thought when we winged the last we had a chance and I knew Keith (Donoghue, riding Sixandahalf) was up there the whole way, which historically hasn’t worked. It’s a long way up that straight, I thought we had a chance after jumping the last and I’m delighted.

Gowran Park Sat, 8th Mar, 2025  Champagne Mahler I’m delighted with that, Darragh was brilliant on him and he was tough out. It’s a lovely prize to win. The horses are starting to run a bit better now which is great. We had a frustrating six weeks, but they are coming through it. He loves that ground. He won a handicap hurdle here on Thyestes day last year and we always hoped he would be a better chaser.

Leopardstown Mon, 3rd Mar, 2025  Koktail Divin I’m delighted with that. He had a lovely run at Christmas, but I probably messed up when we were under the weather in January. I dropped back in trip, wrongly. I was always going for another race and then he wasn’t eligible. It’s lovely to see him go and do that today. I made a mistake, got it wrong, and as everyone knows we weren’t flying at the time. I’m delighted for the Maloneys, Barry and Aileen are here, so it’s great. I’d say we’ll aim him at Aintree now.
