From the connections
“I had a nice position the whole way. Harry just said get her to relax and creep away. Cleopatra's Needle relaxed and I crept away, she was good at the line. I just thought I'd keep it simple, I got all the gaps and it worked - Patrick M O'Brien, jockey.”
“It was Cleopatra's Needle's first run in a handicap and Sean was very good on her. He put her to sleep and was the last one to get into it. She's not a bad filly and she likes jumping. She showed a bit early on on the Flat and she was unlucky not to win three in a row. Then things just went wrong with her, she's a hard mare to keep right - Harry Rogers, trainer.”
“Cleopatra's Needle worked very well last week but she always did work well and is a well-bred mare. She loves top of the ground and she's going jumping as she has schooled over hurdles. Robbie Power had her for a while, schooling her, and said she had plenty of scope - Harry Rogers, trainer.”
