He is a world class rider who knows his horse, so it will be interesting to see how he handles this issue.
Not sure where I saw it, but I think I read that he did not have the lead in any of his other races. Somehow, can't imagine that after winning so emphatically in Dubai on the front that they would take that away from him.
