After race at Down Royal Wed, 5th Feb, 2014 (1st)

He probably likes the very heavy ground. It slows the rest of them down. He's been a very disappointing horse. We gave a lot of money for him out of Michael Stoute's. It was a pretty ordinary race he won today, and that's what he is. I'm delighted he won and maybe with a bit of luck he can win another one. We had hoped that he would make a top hurdler as he has a great make and shape to him. But he has his own ideas and he's suffered with some wind problems.
