He never really travelled that well. I took the cheek-pieces off him because he travelled too strong the last day - he didn't seem to travel that well today and flattened the last two but got the job done anyway. That ground was plenty quick for him and he can run away over the winter. I had to run him off his 116 mark and I knew there would be a small field so it's great he won.
