It was a true-run race and he was always travelling well but as I say, when I went to go it wasn't quite as instant as it was in the mornings. Hannon said: "Revenge is sweet I suppose, but they are two great horses. Richard Hughes said the other morning when he worked him that he was the best he had ever ridden. We've had some good horses, but he's very good. Hannon was asked if the QEII would be the next target and said "it could be" before dismissing the Breeders' Cup as an option. Richard Hannon junior, assistant to his father, said: "We are delighted to have won one and the fact we didn't win the first two makes it that bit sweeter, I suppose. I don't think he quite picked up like we expected on the ground. Dawn Approach kept going after hitting the front, he's amazingly tough. What he does at home is clearly not normal, he's unbelievable. We were concerned about the ground as he's such a good-actioned horse and we thought it might not be in his favour, but we wouldn't change anything now. It's going to be a great episode if both go on to the QEII. Godolphin and John Ferguson were the first to come up and say 'well done'. Bolger offered no excuses, conceding that Toronado was a deserved victor. He said: "It was a top performance and we were just beaten by a better horse on the day. I'm not concerned about rematches. We still have to figure out where we go from here - whatever turns up, turns up. There are a couple of possibilities but time will tell all.
