He's very well and we're very excited.

It was nothing life threatening but it was enough to put him out of the Breeders' Cup. We are all desperately disappointed because we felt he had a great chance of taking the race in America by storm.

Motivator did his first piece of work since his holiday this morning and everything went very well. It was more than satisfactory from what I have been told.

He's in terrific form, he's been working well and from a physical standpoint it's like looking at a different horse. The big question is the ground. He won't run unless the ground is good or easier and I would have to say at this point he is a highly unlikely starter unless there is some rain or suitable watering.

If he is available we would definitely want him. I can't confirm anything at the moment but Frankie riding is a possibility.
