Springboard I thought the ground was too heavy for him because we always felt he wanted better ground. What worked in his favour was it was a two-miles race and he really stays 2m4f, so flew home. I told Cian to ride the horse as he finds him, but you can't really give jockeys like him instructions as he won a Grade 1 race recently and is a good jockey. The horse had a problem with a leg in the past and had a layoff, but is back now. |

Krabat A winner for me here is like a Cheltenham winner for someone else. I knew this horse would stay and that stamina was needed today in that ground. Cian gave him a nice cool ride. He and all my horses are left out in a paddock every day which I think keeps them fresh. |
