I was thinking going to the bend 'there's a horse coming up my inside. There's no room there, best of luck!' The next minute I collided and I felt it hitting off the back of me and I was thinking 'gees I hope there's no-one on that as you couldn't be going where he was going'. Then when I saw him coming loose I was thinking 'gees maybe that's why it was happening, he was loose'. There was a good bunch of horses there. I did expect something to be coming to my tail turning in. He was second in a Gold Cup as a six-year-old to a very, very good winner. There's a long way to go. I'm sure he'll run a lot more in the Lexus when he takes on Don Poli and a few more. That'll be a helluva race. Valseur Lido will appreciate stepping out in trip, and both of them will come on a lot from that run. Henrietta Knight said he (Djakadam) will win the Gold Cup so I’ll quote her.
