“It was probably exactly how it looked and the same as how it felt, too.
“He was a bit slow away which was a concern. I preferred to ride with a bit of cover today. If we’d landed in front it wouldn’t have been an issue.
“He’s had a bit better experience today down the straight. He hit the front quite early and he began to look around. There was plenty to look at and he still had more in store.”
