"She didn't step fantastic the last day and it would have been nice to be more forward, however we had cover and I got a nice tow and she's a progressive filly - a good, huge scopey mare who will probably get a bit more," stated Moore.


"She's a big girl and I just desired to get her out in the clear, get her balanced and get her rolling and she revealed a truly good attitude and I was happy with her."


Moore, who ran out luck on his final ride of the day, is now eagerly anticipating a trip to Hong Kong next week, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained Los Angeles and The Lion In Winter got in for the Vase and Mile respectively at the International conference on Sunday week.
