Trainer is Eoghan O'Neill and jockey is Christian Demuro.

Considering Royal Ascot next, but I'll be playing hockey in Toronto, so I'll have to watch that one on TV.

Afterwards, the Chantilly management bought us a bottle of champagne. It was the best glass of bubbly I ever enjoyed.

Love this sport.

Cheers,

Otis
Congrats, thats awesome
