Roman Dragon

“Roman Dragon is so special around here. He loses interest in a straight line a lot of the time, he looks at the crowd and whatever, and he's a very balanced, agile, nimble horse. He'll come back here when he can, the problem is the better he gets the fewer races there are. He won the Queensferry last year and we'll try and win it again - Hugo Palmer, trainer.”

“Roman Dragon is an absolute star and it was a first-class ride by Jason [Watson]. He read the race supremely well, but the horse was very tough. Turning in I thought we were going to win by even further as we were going so well. He loves it here and he's a sprint handicapper who pulled it out of the bag in a stakes race. I'm not sure he can go to a much higher level than this, but he's turned his love for this track into a massive advantage. He goes so well here and that's worth half a dozen pounds ? it was probably the difference today. Chester made a nice rug for him and he's a history maker - Hugo Palmer, trainer.”

“Roman Dragon loves Chester. That's now six wins here for this horse, which has equalled the modern-day track record. We had a nice enough draw [five] and everything went perfectly - Hugo Palmer, trainer.”

“Nick (Hughes, part-owner)'s ambition is for Roman Dragon to become the winningmost horse around Chester and we think he needs six. We're two-thirds of the way there. I'm delighted, he won off 84 last year and 79 here so maybe we can get another before the season's out - Hugo Palmer, trainer.”
