that was Conor's first ever ride for me; I asked Colin (Keane, stable jockey) the other day if he would do 2lb 'over' on him but he's too professional and wouldn't do it. It was one of those calls, was I doing the right thing sending a boy (three year old Intisari) to do a man's job but thankfully he was up to it. I said this morning at feeding that I thought I was doing the wrong thing but the race worked out lovely. the one thing I did say to Conor was to be careful about hitting the front too soon as he's as green as grass. I thought it was very very impressive from a baby and I'm delighted. I won this with Saxo Jack (in 2013) and he's every bit as good as him. I'm not sure if he's quite as good as Fiery Lad (won in 2008) yet but he's earned the right to stay on the team. I would say that's him out of handicaps now after that performance.
