Personally I think he has been a little rushed - last saw him with Edward Gal 2 years ago at Windsor and couldn't believe he was being given 10's by the judges for canter pirouettes that looked like he was dragging himself around on the forehand. I am wearing my flame proof suit whilst posting this but I also think there is something hackney-ish about his trot, and like all GP horses seems to walk like a constipated Ox. All in all he always looks to me like a super-talented horse on whom no trick, gadget or quick-fix has been spared in order to get him out there as early as possible in order to make maximum bucks on the stud fees.
Also, am I just an envious old cow or does Matthias Rath have the smug look of the pony club kid who knows his parents have just bought him the best pony on the circuit?
