2008 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Jockey Thierry Thulliez said, "I rode him as though we were in a Quinte handicap. I made the most of our good draw (2) and he ran a great race behind two champions. I even thought we might win halfway up the straight and the horse was very brave to battle right to the end."

Trainer Pavel Vovcenko added, "He's probably better held up and maybe hit the front a bit soon, but he's still run a great race and we plan to go for the Japan Cup next."
