Leopardstown Sat, 6th Feb, 2021  Drop The Anchor I'm delighted. I was looking at a full parade ring beforehand thinking to myself 'imagine being the best horse in this with all the big names' but I won it,. I thought early in the race he wasn't winging them all and he had to be tough. He needs a test at the finish of a race. He probably would have gone very close in Fairyhouse if he hadn't been stopped. I was afraid the ground would dry out as he ran here at Christmas last season on quick ground and never jumped a hurdle, he will not handle it. He's not big but he's really tough. It took him a while to win but he needed time to strengthen up. I arrived here not long before Simon won earlier and I said 'well that's probably me gone now because he'll never win the two of them'. He's some rider and it's great to see another potential champ coming along.
