Down Royal Result

Small fields seem to help him and good ground is probably his thing. He did it well today, I probably sent him on plenty early and he kept going well to the line. He fought well today, the cheekpieces probably helped. Delighted to get another win with him. Hopefully he improved a bit (since finishing third in this race last year). He had a couple of good runs on the Flat and he will probably go back to the Flat for the second part of the season. He might go for one of those staying handicaps down the line. He has plenty of options. He is a good, fun, dual-purpose horse and they are the ones you want. C Byrnes, trainer
