Q. And, Yoshito, another incredible performance today by a Japanese horse, and Marche Lorraine had been training with Loves Only You. It’s obviously different for the guys that are riding here all the time. OISIN MURPHY: I had no idea and I just said on the way back in, with the shadows, it’s impossible to know exactly where the line is. Q. Did you think you had it? It was very close. I thought if I didn’t move early, I would get pushed wide around the turn and I had a choice to make whether to go wide or make a move and she was tough up the straight. And maybe I moved a little bit too early. I tried to be up close to him as possible to get less kickback and she traveled nicely. Jose Ortiz is someone I look up to and he knows the dirt a lot better than I do and he wasn’t going, and I thought, well, best probably to follow him, and I just took my time behind him. I didn’t want to be stuck wide, so I took back a little before the turn. Even against the Americans I broke on turns and had enough speed early to kind of get a pitch if I wanted to. Q. Take us through the race a little because the fractions were extremely fast, but she seemed to settle very nicely for you. We needed them to do that, but it was a brilliant performance. And to be honest, we were obviously a hostage to fortune, I sat out the back, and they went quite quick. I tried to ignore her odds and just give her every chance in the run and hopefully she could finish off. And he doesn’t only travel unless they have no chance. I’ve ridden for him in Dubai and Hong Kong. Yahagi, I ride a lot for in Japan and a fair bit for overseas. OISIN MURPHY: Yeah, I didn’t know a whole lot about Marche Lorraine.
