That's massive. I'm delighted for Kia Joorabchian, and AMO Racing, because he's been a big supporter of mine this year and he's let me go away to the breeze-ups and buy some nice horses,.

I brought him to the sale and he paid a lot of money for him. The pressure was very much on me from that point on and it was a massive kick in the guts at Ascot, it just wasn't to be and he just needed that bit more time. To be fair Kia has been very patient, it's 100 days since Ascot but I just wanted to wait. He's a very exciting horse for next year. He doesn't do anything flashy at home, he just does what he needs to do. Colin said he'll probably be better on fast ground. I thought he wanted a mile-and-a-quarter looking at his homework. That's why I was happy to see a bit of rain to make the mile a test. He'll have no problem getting a mile-and-a-quarter but on better ground he'll have that bit more pace. He said he could make up into a Guineas horse over the winter. We won't get carried away with ourselves yet, I thought he won that very well and I'll go back and sit down and talk to Kia.
