Defence Of Duress relishes step up in trip
The horse is in a lot better shape than I am! I have the flu and nearly didn't come today. We stepped him up to two and a half miles and the much improved ground was in his favour. We'll see what the handicapper does, but we'll look at something over a trip on decent ground.
All the way for Norther Bay
Ruby sets a Blazing Tempo
Aloof lords it over her rivals
Trading Leather a horse to follow
We are absolutely delighted with that. Kevin really likes him a lot. He had the experience of running in a Listed race the first day. Kevin didn't actually realise he was seven lengths in front. He didn't really get after him and he just kept lengthening all the time. He'll make a smashing three-year-old. He loved the ground and the trip was no issue. He's a nice exciting horse to have.
Core very much in her Element
Fastidious does it from front
He likes it here and always seems to run well at this track. He was certainly due that and has done it nicely.
