It is nice to get than one and we are delighted with him. He has a net over his nose, it is like a muzzle but he can breathe through it, it just makes him back off the bit a bit, and it makes it easier for the jockey. Paul said he was little keen going to the first but after that he was putty in his hands. He was able to ride a race on him today. This horses biggest problem has been his temperament as he has been too keen and he has been killing himself in races. The last day, even though we got in trouble, was the first day he actually finished a race. It is nice that he has won well and he jumped well. J Motherway, trainer
