After race at Naas Wed, 25th Jun, 2014 (1st)

He's a horse we've always really liked for fast ground. We always thought he'd have no problem with five, six or seven and he might get a mile. We thought last year he was our best two-year-old and he has a chance of being a Group One horse. He was quite green. I gave him a slap down the shoulder and got there too soon so I had to stay going and pushed him out hands and heels. It's always frustrating when you have a good one at home standing in a box. He never had any major problems but when he got near a run he had little setbacks. He was coughing for a while and had a stone-bruise as a two-year-old that took him a while to get over. In the second half of last year we said we'd have him for next year and we hoped to have him out earlier than we did. I think he could be a very good horse, whether that's a sprinter or a miler I don't know.
