we were borderline running him because of the ground, we thought it wasn't just the way he wants it and he wants really good ground. I thought it was a nice performance. We did a bit of work with him the other morning and Shane rode him so he knew him, he knew what his strengths and weaknesses might be. Down at the bottom of the hill I thought he had it all to do but he stayed on strong. He is just getting his act together and you probably wouldn't be running every couple of weeks, let him relax and settled and go back to himself. After the last day it took him a while to settle again after it but that was his first race so he was entitled to that. Where we go now I don't know we're just happy with today.
