After race at Curragh Sun, 26th Jun, 2016 (1st)

He's a very genuine horse. He really wants it, and stays very well. Seamie gave him a great ride, just like Colm did in Ascot. It's my fault that Ryan rode the other horse,. He'll have a little break now as he's had a tough few weeks, and he's made for the English Leger.
