Graeme said if we left him in Australia and gave him a decent spell he could come back as good as any horse in the country, ... but I said we could do that here so we brought him home. He came back in December and we gave him four months out and then four months of jogging up. He's filled out a bit but he could fill out a bit more. He's so big that he might take until he's six or seven before he's fully mature. |
He only ever does as much as he has to do, ... He's so relaxed and easy to do anything with that he actually gives you a false sense of security at times. He's got one of the best attributes you can have in that he just relaxes at whatever speed you go. |
I could never get him as good in Australia as he was in New Zealand, ... At one point he popped a splint but he'd had a long season anyway and maybe he was telling us he'd had enough. |
