After race at Curragh Sun, 24th Sep, 2023 (1st)

It's a fantastic win. A great run and a great ride from Hugh,. He's not been the most consistent horse in the world but when he runs his race he generally runs a good race. Hugh got a great tune out of him today. He stays very well and stamina has always been his thing. That's what he did today, he outstayed them. I'm delighted for Ray, he bred the horse. He's run some very good races and he's had a few disappointing runs in the middle of it. It's a big day today for everyone. Hugh's instructions were to go forward, get a nice position, and make sure that stamina counted and to go out on his sword. He committed at the bottom of the straight and he kept galloping. The second horse ran a great race, carrying a lot of weight, two weeks after the Leger. It was a great run, he got a lovely run around, and I'm very proud of his run again.
