After race at Down Royal Sat, 7th Nov, 2009 (1st)

He always wins his races when he gets an easy lead in heavy ground,. Andrew said he was basically cantering until he gave him a squeeze three out. The ground is essential for him. Andrew came down to school him 10 days ago and I said to him that I hope he gets the chance to ride him on heavy ground as he's a different horse. We'll probably come back here for the John Durkan at Punchestown. We come here to get the Irish ground. You don't get that ground at the Grade One tracks in England with the way the drainage is. I wouldn't be here but for the horse. He had such a difficult year last year. He only started to get some form back at Punchestown after a nasty fall at Leopardstown.
