Very nicely said. Thanks.

It was really disappointing at first when Jonathan started asking Jimmy for the effort and that sprint we know so well just wasn't there.

But it sounds like he's had enough of racing for a while - he's been in training since July, and he had his first race of this campaign in September. The tank was empty. They're not machines. He's done so much this season, it's not surprising he's tired.

He's going to have a few months off now and come back next August/September.

And congratulations to the winner, Shamrocker - fillies don't often win a Derby, so that was a great performance.
