Instead, connections headed back here for a drop in trip, and the bay showed why, traveling with consummate ease off the hard tempo set by Trading Leather. Moving smoothly to that rival with all others struggling behind, he employed his stamina from the furlong marker home and the contest was over bar the shouting. AHe=s a very tough horse and tries very hard, stays well and handles Magician & Aidan O’Brien fast ground,@ said winning jockey Racing Post Joseph O=Brien. AHe is improving every day and has loads of pace. I couldn=t say he wouldn=t get further than 10 furlongs either.@ Aidan O=Brien appeared to play down thoughts that he could run in the Derby afterwards. AWe always thought he had a lot of class with the movement and the looks,@ he offered.
