From the connections
“I've only seen the side on and they both went for the same gap. The crucial part of it was that it was a short head. Did the interference cost Pearl Eye the race? The stewards deemed it did so that's why they've overturned it. He's done well regardless and I'd have taken second. He's run super from that low draw. He was a big price but I really liked him. He had a run the other day with cheekpieces on and that put him spot on, he's quite stuffy. He was unlucky at Chester last year and that's where he'll go next - Darryll Holland, trainer.”
“Pearl Eye should have won here last year, he was unlucky under Patrick Cosgrave, but he's made amends now and it's nice to win first up. He won four for us last year and was only out of the first four once. He's an improving horse and he goes to Chester now for a mile-and-a-quarter handicap. He was second off his highest mark there last year - Darryll Holland, trainer.”
