After race at Gowran Park Sun, 28th Apr, 2013 (1st)

Seamie said he was very unlucky at Leopardstown when he got boxed in on the rail. He ran a real good race there. I've been very impressed with Connor King all year, and he looks a very good rider. He gave him a beautiful patient ride, and was there at the right time. Connor said he thought he might stay a bit further, and some of the lads at home have been saying he might get a mile and a furlong.
