00:00Ryan, that appeared to be pretty straight forward.

00:05Yeah, no, I just wanted to give him a day away, there's six weeks to the Breeders Cup,

00:11it's just been letting him down and building him back up and so it's just a bit of an experience

00:16for him to sharpen him up and prepare him for an era.

00:19And it's not just the minutes or so on the race course, it's the whole process of coming

00:24over, the whole experience which counts towards the big day.

00:27Yeah, I think he wanted to get him back on the plane again and expose him to something

00:31else to let him have a good experience and we wouldn't be finding out how good he is

00:35or anything today, it's just purely to bring him to the next level.

00:41One of the big aspects of today was the American stalls, the bell, jumping quickly, American

00:48style, did that all go to plan?

00:49Yeah, he jumped well enough, he'll jump a bit for the next time.

00:56So as far as today goes, you're happy for six weeks' time?

01:00Yeah, I think that's what Aiden wanted him to do today, so I think we achieved what the

01:05objective was and he's got six weeks now so he'll build back up to it.

01:10It's hard to believe Aiden's had 14 goes at winning this great race without success, one

01:15or two near misses, is this the horse that can set the record straight?

01:18I don't know, I've never won it either, but he's an unusual horse and he showed at York

01:26how good he is, so if he can transfer that level of ability to the dirt then we'd like

01:31to think he'd be in the mix.
