SOUNDBITE (English) Nicholas Bachalard, Trainer

"I think you feel the pressure on race day - or race night. That's when you probably start to build up. But it's good pressure. Anybody who is any individual would probably dream about having the opportunity to have a race - a horse in a race like that so it'll be good."

SOUNDBITE (English) Nicholas Bachalard, Trainer

"I am very excited obviously. It is a great opportunity for me to get to train a horse like him (Ron the Greek). He has been around the world and he is a proven horse at the distance and against the company."
