After race at Dundalk Fri, 2nd Oct, 2009 (1st)

We're delighted with that performance and you‘d have to be impressed with that. There was no pussy footing about there, they went a very strong gallop. Johnny kept very cool as per usual and he knows the horse better than anyone. Johnny also said that when he went after the leaders he probably got there a bit too soon. He's proved he goes on the surface now. We just have to decide which of the two races to go for at the Breeders Cup next.
