That was a good performance. Ruby didn't hang around and kept applying the pressure from the front. It was a gutsy ride,. On the book he had one horse to beat and that was Arctic Fire. He wasn't on the bridle at any stage though and when he's not on the bridle you know he's going some pace. Arctic Fire is a fair opponent and Ruby wasn't going to let him into it and use his speed. He was just afraid of Arctic Fire's speed and piled it on from the front to dampen his fire. From a mile out he started to apply it and I was wondering if he'd crack from so far out but he knew what he had underneath him. His jumping is better going faster. He's done it now in year one and we'll let him tell us how good he can be. Our Conor looked invincible when he won the Triumph but fate can go against you. I believe in him but he has to stand the test of time. He's very very good. We'll see now if the handicapper puts him past Hurricane Fly. I don't know if we'll travel back to England with him next season or stay at home. I'll have a word with the owner. We know he can travel to England and back and it doesn't seem to take anything out of him. But maybe we'll stay at home and tackle the Irish horses.
