It is good to firm ground but it is very kind ground, it's very nice ground. I suppose he is getting older and a little bit more ease in the ground is always a plus to him. He's a great horse to me and a great horse to Tom. We went very quick and just for about half a furlong I was caught a bit flat-footed but he stayed on and did his best work towards the finish. He won well. Hopefully back to Hong Kong in December will be the plan. It's nice to win at the Curragh as he does a lot of his work here but it is the first time he has won at the Curragh. Every time he came here before something went wrong. I wasn't worried about the ground. Firm ground doesn't bother him, it's only dead, sticky ground that he can't handle. I was afraid they would not go much of a pace but they did and he quickened away nicely. He may come back here for the Minstrel Stakes. We'll give the July Cup a miss and he can go on his travels then. He ran too fresh at Ascot, he hit the gate and ran with the choke out and it was a great run in hindsight. He needs a run every three weeks or else he gets too fresh like at Ascot. He could go to France for the Prix Maurice de Gheest and he'll go to Haydock for the Sprint Cup for sure. T Hogan, trainer
