Thoughts on Dickin Medal's progression: "He's a promising horse. He won a maiden well the other day and I think it was a decent maiden. For a horse to come from a maiden to a 70, you don't see that very often so he is a nice, promising horse."
"He is still learning. He was on and off the bit at different stages. He was a bit relaxed and then he was a bit too keen so he is still learning to pace himself but I do like the horse and I think he has a nice future."
