He was a complete baby the first day and didn't know what was going on. We put the blinkers on to teach him a bit and they will probably come off again,. Before he ran the first day he was half-speeding like a really smart horse. He will have learned a lot there. He travelled and quickened but was still very green. He's a horse to look forward to. I'd say he's very smart - he always showed that he's very smart. Obviously the first day was a bit of a shock but first-time out two-year-olds do that sometimes. It can be difficult when they bolt in first time as there are not a lot of places to go with them bar a Group or Listed race. Sometimes mentally that's difficult and not the right thing. Joseph put a visor on him for a half-speed during the week and he came up hard on the bridle. He'll have learned a lot with the blinkers and it's like running two races with them on. It's like wearing a cap or glasses. If it helps them progress mentally without being hard on them physically it has to be an advantage. Joseph said he was only doing a half-speed today, even when he got to the front. He can step in fairly quickly now to the big races. He's big and hardy and should be well able. He could step into the Futurity and those races. He's a big mature horse.
