Noel Meade Quotations

When they were coming round the corner I thought we were going to be first and second.

I have had a long chat with the vet and although he is very happy with him, we have decided he is not going to run again this season.

He might just be the ideal type for that race. He stayed two miles, five furlongs very well when winning at Cheltenham back in December.

He might just be the ideal type for that race. He stayed two miles and five furlongs very well at Cheltenham in December, and if he could hack along in the National he might be able to get home.

He's a lovely horse and very tough. Providing he comes out of this race OK, he will go for something at Cheltenham and he has a few options there.

This natural way with a horse seems to run in the family. Nina has great hands and great judgement, just like your man. But the similarity ends there. She's a little bit more - how shall I put it, would 'stable' be the word? At her age Paul lived on a knife-edge. I'm glad to say he's settled down a good bit, but he was a wild card. I tried to steer him in the right direction, but he's not easy to steer in any direction. He's full of life, full of fun - they both are - only when he started off he was hard to handle. But then that's the way he goes, and that's the way he rides.

It would be great to start thinking he was that kind of horse. I was very impressed with him.
