Following the fiasco of the void Grand Nat he said that it was a joke and that even in a simple country like Ireland they do it properly.

I don't think he's had a winner since - nor been to the Emerald Isle!

Once trained Suny Bay- if he'd kept it (instead of it going to Chas Brookes) he could have made it.

Memorable also for (I think) coining a phrase that I use a lot.

When his business went tlts-up, he said

"Well, it started raining, and unfortunately the bank wanted its umbrella back"....

Live on TV, told the starter of the void National that he'd "see him in court."

Never did, of course.

Trained for the Cohens but I think he fell out with them.

the beast, yeah, lived up to his name in 93 or 94 Gold Cup. Called Ireland a backward little country after void national (he actually meant it as a compliment!!!!!)l, and that was more or less that for him.
