After race at Gowran Park Mon, 3rd Jun, 2019 (1st) 
That was great — what a ride!. He said he's still a bit babyish, he's not sure because one minute he's keen and the next he's off the bridle. In all fairness when he wanted him in the last 150 yards he quickened up well through the gap. Mentally he's probably still a little bit weak, and still has a little bit to go, but hopefully after today, with that race under his belt, he'll improve. Hopefully he can win another one of those before the year is out.
