My legs were really tight today, so I didn't run all my events. I saw what I can improve, and I need to work on my start in the 60.

I took a week off last weekend. This weekend I need to make sure I'm back in race shape and back to my most competitive level.

It's a high quality meet, and a good opportunity to get times in.

We will definitely step up next week, the competition will be much better next week.

This meet was kind of like of a workout meet. A meet to help prepare us for next week.

The frustrating events involving some Jockey Club charges concerning my conduct, which were dropped then re-formed, have dealt a fatal blow to my chances of securing more than a couple of regular rides this year and made my decision inevitable. I'm proud to have ridden winners all over the globe including most of Europe, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, India and Singapore.
