Non runner Custom Cut (ground conditions)


He is not short of pace but he gets a mile well. He came to us with a massive reputation. He has got great cruising speed and he was doing good times in America. When he won his maiden in America, Todd Pletcher (his former trainer) was jumping around the place and it was obvious to see why he was. We were very lucky to get him. He only won a conditions race a few weeks ago and he is still a big baby. He has got options and he could go to Deauville now.
