It’s been an unbelievable journey this last 10 months and I’ve been lucky enough to have some really, really good people stick with me. This horse left me on December 12 because the owners didn’t want him to be trained by someone they hadn’t chosen and he came back to me on April 1 because by then I’d got a yard. That little boy, Felix Natalis — what a superstar. He’s never let me down, he’s learned on the job, he’s run good race after good race and today he smashed it. I’m so pleased for everybody concerned because we’ve all gone through the same journey and it’s immense for us to have a good quality horse who was inexpensive (€20,000) in the grand scheme of things because that’s where I started and that’s where I’m back to. We probably ought to sell him now, but I won’t! We’ve got no plans, this was the long-term project. I thought he’d be gelded by now and going to the sales, but we’ll have to rethink that won’t we?
