Garden Oasis

“Garden Oasis was quickly away and I needed that as I knew there was going to be more pace in the race and, obviously drawn one, I could hold the rail if I was quick out so it was ideal, but I did have to go a little bit quicker than I wanted to into the bend. I got a bit of a breather round it but he does stay a bit further so you can stretch them and make sure they don't come past you at any speed. He's as game as they come and loves it around here - David Allan, jockey, speaking on Sky Sports Racing.”

“Garden Oasis is still full of enthusiasm. You've got to run the speed off them as he's getting older and he's not got the turn of foot he used to have but he digs in really well for you - David Allan, jockey, speaking on Sky Sports Racing.”

“Garden Oasis absolutely thrives around this place, and the most important thing was just to jump from the gates fast. He was soon on the front end and dug in well - David Allen, rider”

“I'd love a yard full of horses like Garden Oasis, he's wonderful. He's very uncomplicated, the more you complicate it the worse he runs. He's tough, he likes it here and he goes on pretty much any ground - Tim Easterby, trainer.”

“Every time Garden Oasis ran last season he came back not right. He was actually in the sales but we decided not to sell him. It took a long time to get him right in the winter but he's been sound and okay recently and ran a good race at Haydock but just didn't get home. David won it in the first furlong - Tim Easterby, trainer.”
