"He's lovely, although I'm becoming less convinced that he's a 1m4f horse. He had a dirty scope which has kept him off the track so far this spring but he'll probably run over a mile at Yarmouth next week and I'm looking forward to getting him started. 25-04-24"
"He's had a pretty extraordinary time. I hope giving him a break after winning the King Edward VII will reap dividends. It was a tough race and it took a lot out of him. It was a big effort in the Breeders' Cup Turf, and you'd hope he's up to winning at the highest level. We're going to explore going further in distance and he could end up being a cup horse. He's certainly bred to be one and the Yorkshire Cup is going to be a good starting point. He's pretty high-class at a mile and a half as well, so we'll see how that develops. He'll have a Gold Cup entry and probably one in the Hardwicke too. He really thrived for the environment at the Breeders' Cup and could end up back there as well. 27-04-26"
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
