Certainly got a shock when i heard that information while watching the Box Seat just moments ago.Am surprised a little that they let him go,considering the opinion they have of him.With him looking like a rather big horse,time was always going to be on his side on a couple of accounts..1) give him time to fill into his frame and 2,and the biggest one..sorting his own brain out..as he was rather silly at times when a 2yr old.I stated on Racecafe at the start of the his 3yr old year that he'd start fave in the Sires Stakes Final,and that he'd practically dominate the 3yr olds....well i had to eat a little bit of humble pie..but all good.I think he will go very well over in Oz..and no doubt the best of him will now be seen over their...Good luck to the horse and the Luke McCarthy.
