I'm delighted. They needed to learn a little bit today and that's why they swung along there. You'd have to be very happy. The last day was his first time back to seven. He gets a little bit lazy in the middle of the race, but gets there, and he was doing it well again in the last furlong. I would imagine that they'll all probably come back here for the National Stakes. I'd say he'll get a mile well, we always viewed him as a horse that would get middle distances next season. He had a tough enough race today as they went all the way.
