He was on a going day, travelled sweet and did it well.” When it was put to him that he has disappointed a few times he added:- “A lot of times, yeah. He’s had a couple of issues but on his day he’s not a bad horse and thankfully today was a going day. “Obviously he had top-weight in the Dan Moore and it probably didn’t suit him.
