He’s very keen and I just thought it was worth a try dropping him back in trip in a race like that. I’m not sure you’d drop him back like that in a handicap,.

he's always shown far more at home than he has on the track. To be fair to him, Shane (Foley, winning jockey) said that he just might benefit from a tongue-tie and I think that made the difference. He said he might be better carrying more weight in a lower class race. We might just give him a pop over hurdles and see if he takes to that. He has a bit of size and scope.
