“He worked today and he worked really well, he’s in order and I’m very pleased with him,” Bin Suroor said on Thursday. “His goal is to get him to Saudi, but I want to give him a first race later this month.
“I will evaluate him as he works next week and see when I think he is ready for a race and then we will come up with a plan. We don’t have to get him dirty against Saudi Arabia, I’ll leave him on the pitch, we’ll be back with dirt in the Saudi Cup. ”
He added, “When we brought him back to Newmarket, he grew and became a better horse, simple as that. That’s why I wanted to get him running on the front court, to get him ready for the Saudi Cup. ”
