It was a sprint finish and he is an out-and-out galloper and if anything, that caught him out. He is in the English Cesarewitch and has an entry over fences at Ballinrobe on Monday. We'll see how he is, he is a brilliant jumper and looks well in for that chase. He ran a cracker and was much quicker out of the stalls today and stayed at it well. He should have a nice career on the Flat and the jumps in the Galway Plate seemed to slow him down. He ran a great race, has a great constitution for his age and is a dinger of a horse. Emmet Mullins, trainer
