Power shines again on Bobabout
These distances are getting shorter and shorter. We went from a head to a short-head yesterday to a nose today. It's not good for the nerves,. That was the most amazing run because he was virtually brought down at the fourth last and Robert said it crossed his mind to pull him up. I just couldn't think he could win from there and he got stopped again before turning in. He loved that ground and today was the first day he really jumped. During the winter he couldn't jump off the heavy ground. He had a little blow out on Sunday on the Flat. Again he was very keen on Sunday. He's probably better when they go a really good gallop and he does settle. He'll learn to settle in time.
Harrington doubles up with Don't
The horses are just in good form. They just all seem to be coming together at the right time,.
Eile edges fantastic finish in La Touche
Benny Walsh rode him the first day and said to make more use of him as he stays well. He was dead right,. I thought we were running for place-money. I'm delighted and couldn't believe it. I thought the ground was too quick as well but I was wrong. I worked with Barry in Aidan O'Brien's, it must be 25 years ago, and I was slagging him the other day saying 'you're getting too old Barry and you may give up'. You can't beat experience. You need experience out there as there is a lot of jumping and twisting and turning. JJ, my son, would have better staying with me today! It was him actually that schooled him as a young horse and said he'd be a banks horse. He was dead right.
