He did what we thought he could do. That's not being cocky, we like him but you never know when you have Ballydoyle to deal with. We thought if King Electric could run a race then he had a huge chance. We have Psychedelic Funk but we've always said he's not the only one. He went to Royal Ascot but the ground went against him and he ran a great race to finish third as he was the first horse off the bridle. This horse is still only half a horse and we were worried he was still not mature. I was talking with Colin beforehand and was saying 'have we got this wrong' as King Electric was shorter in the betting but he said no. He got a terrible fall earlier in the day and it just goes to show you that it can go one way or the other so quickly in racing. I'm delighted both horses and jockeys were alright. I said at Navan that winning a Railway was as important to me as winning a Coventry. They are both Group 2's. I made a stupid mistake taking this horse to England (Newbury). It was pure greed and I only took him over to have another horse with Endless Drama. I don't like standing around all day for one race and it wasn't fair on him to run him but it didn't do him any harm and he learned from it. We'll look at the Phoenix Stakes now with him and Psychedelic Funk. G M Lyons, trainer
