Tactics: “I just had to ride him to suit him and how the race was unfolding.”
The horse: “I think he’s pretty talented and honestly don’t know how far the ceiling is with him because he’s only had a short career even with how old he is. With improvement you never know where he’s going to go now.”
Horse’s soundness: “His last two preparations (there’s been) no issues at all so all guns blazing now.”
