Stable Tour Quotes
Gigginstown House Stud (11 March 2021): "Battleoverdoyen won’t run at Cheltenham so it will be just Samcro for us in the Ryanair. He started his season well at Down Royal, but was another to scope poorly over Christmas. We decided to give him plenty of time to get over it and go to the Ryanair fresh. His work is still good. He worked well yesterday (Wednesday) so as a two-time Cheltenham Festival winner, he is entitled to go. When he can breathe and is right, there is no horse alive who can beat him. He’s had a quiet year, but is fresh and the Ryanair might even bring him on again."
Gordon Elliott (14 October 2020): "We’ll start him off in the Grade 2 chase at Down Royal later this month. We tried a few different things and got him back right last season. It was a real thrill to see him win at the Cheltenham Festival. We’ll more than likely keep him around mid-range trips and he could end up in the Ryanair Chase, all being well."
Gordon Elliott (05 March 2020): "He’ll go for the Marsh Novices’ Chase. He’s been blowing hot and cold this season and hasn’t always scoped right. He’s had a breathing op since his last run. If the ground comes up very soft, I might not run him and wait until Fairyhouse with him."
Gordon Elliott (16 October 2019): "We couldn’t get him to scope right all last season, but he’s scoping clean now and looks in great order. We’ve tried a few different things with him this season. He had a breathing operation over the summer and we constructed a new stable for him which allows him free access to an outdoor enclosure. He seems to be enjoying that. The plan is to school him over fences after racing at Punchestown today (Wednesday) and all being well we’ll start him off in a maiden chase over two-and-a-half miles at Down Royal on November 1st. I know he was disappointing last season, but he had a good excuse for it and didn’t have a hard season as we pulled stumps with him early on. It might have been a blessing in disguise that he didn’t go chasing last season, as the ground would have been plenty quick for him all season. I’d still retain plenty of faith in him and I’m excited by him."
Gordon Elliott (19 February 2019): "The issue we found with him after his last run was a deep-seated lung infection. On the scope, you could see there was a little bit of dirt in him, but it wasn’t until we did a lung wash that we found the extent of the problem. We gave him two easy weeks and a course of antibiotics after that. He looks good now, but until you go and give them a couple of good bits of work, you don’t really know where you are with them. Cheltenham is coming up fast enough for him and how he is in the next 10 days will decide whether he goes there or not. If he was to go, it would probably be the Stayers’ Hurdle, but nothing is set in concrete yet. If he doesn’t make it there, Aintree and Punchestown are obvious alternatives, but we could just take the shoes off him and leave him off for the summer too."
