He's a lovely horse. He's a horse I've been waiting on for a while. He's very big, very backward and raw,. He's always showed a great attitude, we've always liked him and we just waited. It's only this last month that we thought 'yes it's coming'. There is a good deal to come. He showed a great attitude and Chris gave him a great ride. I told him he's going to be inexperienced and you're just going to have to deal with it in the race. He left him alone and it was a great ride. He battled well. We always thought this would probably be his minimum but he's not short of toe. They are lovely people that own him and they've been very supportive. We'll see now where we progress from here.
