I think he is a real nice horse. We told Basil (Holian, owner) he was a good horse and I'm glad it worked out. . He is a stayer; he'll stay two miles, I'd say. . Basil likes jumping, so I'd say that's probably what he'll end up doing. He is so big for stalls, he is 16'3. . He is a real quiet horse at home but he just acted up a bit today at the races. . He is in the Ulster Harp Derby actually and that's an engagement that we might take up. He only has seven stone-nine (pounds) at the moment. We'll get 7lb I suppose. If we got near the handicap proper, we might go. Andrew Slattery, trainer
