Well the first thing to say is he gave him a brilliant ride. It's just worked out today. We have been having a real lean time. We didn't manage to have a winner last week and I was close to pulling him out. But there aren't too many Irish St Leger's so you have to run. The horse never lets us down. He won't go to Australia. He'll go for the Champions race at Ascot if he's alright in the morning. We are thinking about giving him a few races in Dubai. He'll probably run for one more season. It's my first Group 1 winner and couldn't have come at a better time. Tom Dascombe, trainer
