Finished third in the G1 Irish S.
Rimaud told Nick Luck, “We felt he was unlucky in the match against the Irish Champion and he was defeated in the Arc in very deep ground, so we felt he needed a shot. another chance in it.
“He answered all the questions – he could stay and he doesn’t mind the premises – so we feel the right thing to do is to give him another chance next year. .
“I think it was the right decision. I think the horse will be stronger and I think he will have a very good year next year.
“We will probably start with a race in France – the Prix Ganay or something like that. Then we can target [G1] Prince of Wales’s S. at Royal Ascot and then watch how we got him to the Champion of Ireland and then the Arc, something of that nature with all the variations in between.
“It all really depends on what the other horses are going to run next year and how that horse is. There are a lot of ifs and buts in a horse’s career, but the trainer mentioned those races on Sunday. “
