we're going to retire him now, that's the end for him. Hopefully I get another one that's as good as him. He's not the best horse, he's not a Big Shu but wears his heart on his sleeve. He's been a horse of a lifetime, a great horse, he's a bit cracked but he's not bad in his own way. When Enda's horse (Bolger, Shady Operator) came out it was a penalty kick. Singing Banjo is great but he's loaded up with the weight and Vital Island was probably a bit tired from Tuesday - he had a great chance.
