Rhoscolyn

“I imagine they might not have bothered running the first day if they'd realised it was going to be so wet yesterday, but it didn't do Rhoscolyn any harm. He's a real old Goodwood specialist and this is probably the biggest race he could win down here. It's nice to see he's won it for the Horse Watchers. I think there's another handicap here for him at the end of August worth 100,000GBP over seven furlongs, so he'll probably come back for that - David O'Meara, trainer.”

“Rhoscolyn lost his mojo a bit, but he likes Goodwood and likes that ground - Dominic McFadden, part-owner.”

“I thought it went perfectly. We'd had a bit of a look at the race earlier and thought that you would want him a little bit handier round here normally, but there looked to be a good bit of pace on. I think it's really important that Rhoscolyn gets a well-run race and he got one today. David has always been adamant that you get him in a good rhythm and more often than not, that is sitting a little bit further back, because he is a bit too keen and strong in his races. But today, he has relaxed. He jumped better than he did at Beverley when the blindfold came off a bit late, but he's a lot better if the blindfold is off before the last horse goes in. And that was my fault for not reminding the jockey last time out, to be honest. It went to plan today and I couldn't be happier - Chris Dixon, of The Horse Watchers.”

“Rhoscolyn is very smart to do that from stall ten. He's got a good temperament, he's laid back and you would imagine there would be more to come from him next year - Paul Mulrennan, jockey.”
