He has the build of a smart horse and travelled through the race impressively, so he can hardly fail to win races over this trip, or slightly further. I was pleased with Juniper. He ran a really good race, but was just a bit green - Aidan O'Brien. After his maiden win: Even at home he doesn't do anything when he hits the front and he got tired - the ground is very tacky. Mick Kinane has given him a great ride, but would have loved to have got some cover. He is in the Middle Park and that would be looked at - he wants a really strongly run race - Aidan O'Brien. |
