The trainer is in China but I've relayed that to him. Pat said you'll see dramatic improvement for that run. We'll follow the same route as last year and hopefully pick up that elusive Group 1. There's lots to look forward to. Dad is very taken with what he has seen in China. The Chinese are committed to buying millions of euro worth of Irish bloodstock.
