After race at Leopardstown Thu, 14th Jun, 2018 (1st) 
I'm so delighted he's won a Group 3 because we've always thought he was a group horse and he thrived over the winter,. The big day is back here on Champions Weekend. Sheikh Fahad is a big supporter of the day so he'll come back here for the Boomerang in the long-term. We'll keep him going because he thrives on racing. He's done nothing but improve since he came back from England. It was similar last year when he ran at Ascot and came back and won at the Curragh. We'll keep him going in those Group 3s and Group 2s but the big day is Quipco Irish Champions Weekend for him. We put the blinkers on him because the last day he ran a little bit lazily although maybe Epsom didn't suit him. He likes Leopardstown. That's the first ride Chris has had for me. Five years he's been annoying me for rides and then I give him my best horse!

I thought this race was coming a bit too soon but he takes travelling really well. He’s been to Epsom and Ascot but takes it all in his stride. He just eats and sleeps, and is very tough and durable. It was a great ride today and that’s what won it. He was able to take the gaps when they were there, and pricks his ears a bit when he gets there. He’s thriving on his racing, and I felt today was the ideal race for him. I haven’t thought too much past today but he could go for the seven-furlong Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.

He'd a little issue last year, something small and we just gave him the time off but I'm very happy with him. He was always going to be a very nice three-year-old for a maiden. Colin was happy with him and he said he settled well and quickened up well. He did what he had to do on ratings. We'll have a look at the Tetrarch Stakes next week - it might be a bit too soon for him but if he comes out of this race well, we might let him take his chance and see how good he is.
