On how the race unfolded: “It just unfolded perfectly for me and I just had to be patient and keep him balanced and just get him through there smoothly.

Howe he’s going this year compared with last year: “He’s probably quite a similarly horse, he probably just went down a different path over the spring trying to get him out over a few Cup distances, 2400 (metres), but we probably found out he’s a nice 2000-metre horse and we just had to get him back to his natural best distance.”
