“That is the best he’s ever gone and it’s not the best he’s ever going to go either. He’s on an upward spiral.

Watching the Lord Stakes win on TV: “I was having a good Christmas break and I was watching when I was having a bit of lunch and I thought that 56 (kilos) might not have been that hard on Boxing Day when he won. But it’s nice to get back on him and Tahlia did a good job on him last start, too.”

“He’s improving. Paddy already knows a lot about the horse. He knows more about the horse than I do but what you saw today, that was his best performance. We know there’s still more improvement in him.”
