Tommie Beau

“Tommie Beau has been an exceptional horse for us. He has taken us through all sorts of trials and tribulations. In the last two years, my wife and I have recovered from varying degrees of cancer, and Tommie and everyone in the stables have been there for us through all sorts of grief. To come to the best racecourse in the UK and win back the trophy we won four years ago means so much and it's a credit to Seamus. We got here on Saturday morning to prepare, and we've drunk, eaten and met all sorts of lovely people. And we've only gone and done it!? - co-owner Simon Prout, speaking on Racing TV.”

“We trainers can often overcomplicate things and worry about the ground, but Tommie Beau just keeps giving. He's done that ever since the day he landed at the yard and he's given Simon and Christine (Prout, owners) a wonderful time over the last two years. We love buying these chasing types and this fella has been a wonderful advert for what we do and what we do best - Seamus Mullins, trainer, speaking on Sky Sports Racing.”

“Tommie Beau has been in fantastic form for us, we raced him over the wrong trip previously as we didn't understand that he needed three miles. It's paid off big time and we've made five times what we paid for Tommie Beau with the bookies. What a horse. - Simon Prout, joint-owner.”
