From The Trainer's Mouth

“I was happy to sit and wait. When I pulled him out he found another gear and it was game over.”

“He is a horse with a huge amount of natural ability and he has finally learnt to use it.”

“The mare has done nothing wrong all season. She has that engine you cannot teach.”

“The trip was probably a touch short for her but she still put it up to them all the way to the line.”

“We will give him a break now and come back for the big autumn targets. There is no need to rush.”

“He has been in great form at home and the ground will suit him perfectly. We could not be happier with him going into this.”

“You never really know until you ask him the question, but he travelled beautifully and quickened up like a proper horse.”

“Fences are what he was born for. He jumped from first to last and never gave me a moment of worry.”
