He was game and stuck at it well. Shane thought he was going too quick six furlongs out but he just kept going,. The other horse headed him and he fought back. He's only really learning now, he's a big laidback horse. He didn't run last year and he'll improve a lot from that. He'll go handicapping now. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
