Christy (Roche) had him in great shape but he is a horse who has had problems. I always felt he'd win a race or two and it's great to get a win with him now. The ground was just soft enough for him and he finished out his race very well. He should provide plenty fun when conditions suit him and and he'll have no problem going 1m6f or two miles.

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Annadiamond, trained by Garrett James Power, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. The Stewards interviewed J.L. Joyce, rider of Pleasing Sunset, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10.3.(g), in that he had used his whip with the arm above shoulder height and having considered his record, they suspended him for one race day.
