He's life changing this horse,. We claimed him out of a Redcar seller, rated 50 and he's done that off 78. He's such a genuine horse that you could just keep running him. He does enough in front and just keeps running and running. The girls have won five on him and that's two for the boys now as Ben Curtis won on him at Musselburgh on Monday and obviously Tom has done the business there. It was quite an enterprising ride, I thought. He said 'there's not a lot of pace' and I said 'just slot in and see where you are'. He's led everywhere. He was lucky really because he does tend to stop and doesn't really do a lot in front but it never really got to that point today as it was hands and heels. We've been here since Wednesday night as the other horse had to do a stalls test. We had a runner at the Curragh a few weeks ago on Champions Weekend, that was our first runner over here, and he was third in one of the big handicaps. This is the first runner we've had on the all-weather here and I think we might keep coming back! Mrs M Fife, trainer
