He likes the far side! The last day they were all coming to the near rail and he wanted to go to the far side. We decided a few runs ago to go where he wants to go. Little bit quirky, but he's tough and he did that well. He showed good resolution and maybe Harry's Bar got a little bit lonely in the middle. You probably wouldn't want to lose him after that, but we'll see. If he's gone, he's gone, and someone will have fun with him. The lads that own him, some of them have bought into another horse. They would be happy enough to keep him as well.

The horse loves the far rail anyway!. It wasn't the plan (the last day) and I said to Leigh going out 'wherever he wants to go, you just go with him'. He hangs to the far side, but he finds. He is happier now than he was, so we are delighted with him. His head went a little bit wrong before, but he is loving it now at the minute. He's a hot horse, he takes a little bit of minding at home. He can kind of overdo things a bit, but we have found the key to him now. Hopefully, there is another one in him. He is entered on Friday in a '70' back up over seven (furlongs), so we will see how he comes out of this. I'd like to thank the owners, the Bajan Invasion Syndicate, for sticking with him because we knew he had a bit of ability and it is paying dividends now. He's going so well here, we will probably give him a break during the summer. He is in all winter and is going a long time.

It was a great ride, he's not the easiest of horses. He's not too bad at home but, just when he gets to the track, gets buzzed up a bit. He has done a few funny things with us - he hasn't jumped once or twice, he can hang a little bit. He's probably a little bit too keen to start putting headgear on him. We just said we would stay tricking with him and see would he pick up one. We were very impressed with the way he ran the last day. Nathan got to know him and I made sure I booked Nathan in plenty of time. He's just that type of horse that you need to get on with him. I actually told him to come up the near rail! He said he was lugging a bit to the far side, so he wasn't going to start interfering with him. I was kind of wondering where he was going, but I was happy enough when he crossed the line!. He did it nicely. When he got the swing of things coming up the straight, he put his head down. It is generally on the bend that he can give a little bit of trouble. The Bajan Invasion Syndicate have stuck with him and we knew he had a bit of ability. We knew he would get his day and it is great that the lads stuck with him and got the win.
