That is the first winner for Henrythenavigator. She is very fast and exciting. Like a lot of our other Henrythenavigator 2yo's she has his speed. We always thought a lot of her. Joseph said she hit the gates and was there (in front) very earlier but he let her stride on. She will go for the Marble Hill Stakes next.

Wayne gave her a good ride and she did it well. There are loads of races for her now and we will take it one day at a time with her. She might go for the (Listed) Victor McCalmont Stakes at Gowran now (Sunday, May 6th). She is very capable over seven furlongs and a mile.

He progressed well from last year. He got a mile well in Galway when he won his maiden. Looking at him you wouldn't think he'd get a mile. He is a very straight forward horse to train.

We didn't know what to expect coming here. We have had him since the turn of the year. Obviously he was very good before we got him. He just does what he has to do at home. He travelled and quicken very well. I was surprise at how well he travelled. Marco Botti done a great job with him. He is very straight forward and laid back at home. The plan was to come here today and then go for the Lockinge Stakes next (likely to clash with Frankel there).

I could have run eight to ten in the race. All of mine ran well. I didn't have him last year. He came to me during the winter and he was still raw. He loves soft ground and he stays well. It's a bit of a pain in the neck trying to find a race for him now as he is not a classic type and he has won his maiden first time out. He will be impeded by both the weather and the program of races. He won't run on ground that is fast.

She is a smashing mare and I think we are a long way from the bottom of her. We will see what the handicapper does now. I was almost going to pull her out because of the ground and the step back up in trip but she got away with it.
