David Probert and Boylesports' Padraig Hassett also answer the key questions
What did you make of Champions Day and did it live up to its billing?
Hollie Doyle, jockey It was an excellent day and we witnessed top-class racing. The race of the day for me was the Long Distance Cup. We saw some exciting horses for next year too!
Cieren Fallon, jockey It proved to be an unbelievable day with some terrific performances all round and with quite a few horses laying down very decent markers for next year. I think it all panned out better than expected.
Padraig Hassett, BoyleSports trader It was a good day’s racing for sure. The clash between Kew Garden and Stradivarius in the Long Distance Cup was the highlight for me. I think that could make into an interesting duel next season.
