Ballyadam

“Ballyadam loves it here every time. He is a star in his own right. He is another year older, but he just keeps on giving. In fairness his worst enemy is the handicapper. He loves running here and running fresh so we are delighted. The key to him is keeping him fresh - Chris Richardson, racing manager to Cheveley Park stud.”

“That was a savage run. We were giving away plenty of weight unfortunately, but fair play to the winner. Ballyadam is so consistent and turns up every day, here at Cheltenham in particular - Henry de Bromhead, trainer.”

“From the last home, it was just hands and heels. Jack [Kennedy] said he gave him one little flick and there was still plenty of horse left there. But he is still a baby and has a lot of learning to do. He found plenty for pressure. He is a tough horse and he stays as well, and he is relaxed now as well. He was very keen in his bumpers when he was young. We'll discuss it, but I'd imagine he will head to Leopardstown over Christmas now - Gordon Elliott, trainer of Ballyadam”

“Ballyadam is a fair horse. He was sprinting at the second last and would have won a lot further if he jumped the last. He probably learned more from that mistake than anything else. He could go for the Royal Bond next - Gordon Elliott, trainer”
