SOMEONE as talented as Aidan O’Brien made flat racing stronger in Ireland and I think Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott are only going to make jump racing stronger too.

Pointing the finger at brilliance and giving out about it? I don’t admire that. To me, you should always be aiming at the top and trying to make yourself better to catch up, not try to figure out a way to slow them down. Surely you want to take them on, improve yourself and be as good as these guys. That’s what Gordon Elliott has done and what the rest should do too.
