We’d love to get there and try and hold him together for another two weeks.<\/p>\n “It would’ve been amazing if he and Paradoxium<\/a> could’ve been there together but we’ve got Masvingo<\/a> in the race as well so it’s exciting.”<\/p>\n Warwoven goes whooshka!

I had to get him to move his feet a touch before the gates opened.<\/p>\n “All these experiences are helping him and he’s getting better every start.
