It was a summer maiden hurdle and I'd say it was a bad race. I'm just glad to get his head in front because I've found it so hard to win with him over hurdles. I'd say he won't get into Galway as he's too low. He'll jump a fence in time but it's taken so long to win over hurdles with him. He's just not a winter horse but probably wants a good cut in the ground so it's Catch 22. All I wanted to do was get his head in front and we've done it today.
Townend's sole ride in Roscommon a winning one
Not So Simple strong at the business end
That's great after being nabbed the last day. It's great that he got his head in front today and he deserved that. He belongs to great owners who are great supporters of ours. He'll keep at his own level and we will give him a break, we won't run him back too quickly, as he's had two runs in a week and he's done his job. We're delighted for the lads at home. We've had a great week, the horses are in good form and we'll enjoy it as we've had enough bad times!
Banntown Girl rules in Roscommon
That was great, she's not a bad mare. It's great for her owners, they are great men and they bred her as well. They'll enjoy this and I'm delighted for them. We might go for a mares' maiden hurdle while we have her fit. We'll get her home, make sure she's alright and go from there. She wants a bit of give in it as she's a fine big mare. She jumps brilliantly.
