He's straightforward and I'm happy to have him. He's just improved all season. We said we'd teach him how to sprint all year, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. He just after rocking up and improving all year. I think he's won what he has deserved, a Group 3. He couldn't get near Givemethebeatboys early in the year but, the way he has improved now, if they had to meet in a match he'd have to give him six or seven pounds. It's a credit to the horse. We know he'll get seven - I promised the owner that if he let me do it my way this year that we'd go touring next year, so I'll have to come up with a plan to get out of that one!. He makes you look good, he's so straightforward. You'd think these sprinters are high octane and hard to deal with, but he's so laidback and I think that's the secret to his success. He's handled any ground as well. G M Lyons, trainer
