It's a family operation. I'm delighted for the horse as he's very genuine. He's been a bit unlucky and he was unlucky the last day when he made a mistake at the last two. I'm delighted for my brother Kevin. He gave it a great ride. That's only his second ride. He rode this horse in the conditionals race at the festival here. We took a bit of a chance putting him up, but he's a good little rider. We don't know where we'll go next. He handles heavy ground but is better on faster ground. Matthew J Smith, trainer
