He added that the colt was a fragile type who had a high knee action, and that John Gosden had instructed him to ride the colt hands and heels and not to use his whip. Havlin stated that he was happy with his position in behind the leaders but added that the pace had slowed at half-way which he felt had not benefitted. He added that upon entering the final bend he was caught on the heels of Scampi, after which he switched to the inside and his mount ran on well inside the final half furlong. He further stated that, in his opinion, the winner was idling in front and therefore it appeared that the colt had finished faster than he actually had and that in time, the colt would likely benefit from racing on turf with ease in the ground; Trainer's rep stated that he was happy with the ride and that it accorded with the instructions given and that they were very pleased with this, first run)
