Oneforthegutter

“It was the perfect set-up for Oneforthegutter with fast ground, a decent gallop and plenty of cover, and when I finally got a gap he was very game - Silvestre De Sousa, jockey.”

“I never expected Oneforthegutter to get in off his mark, but has run a huge race. He and Joe have just gelled together and ultimately just got outstayed. It was a huge performance and a little bit better than the what we were expecting. Class as much as anything beat him today but we'll look for similar sort of things. He could turn out in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock if it doesn't come around too quickly - Ian Williams, trainer.”

“Oneforthegutter has suffered with his wind in the past and that's his third run back after probably his third wind operation. You couldn't be confident the wind op had worked. As you can imagine [with his breathing] we were worried about the ground but Ben Curtis has given him a great ride and he's stuck at his task and stayed on well. He's always merited winning a prize like that and the new trip today was a good thing. It opens up options for him - Ian Williams, trainer.”
