Democracy Dilemma

“I'm really pleased, Democracy Dilemma has been knocking on the door and he's a tough horse to pass once he's got his head in front. He really wants a flatter track but it was worth the risk and it's lovely to have a stakes winner for the Hays. He might go to Newbury for the Dubai International Airport World Trophy, he'll have a penalty in Listed races now so we have to go for Group races really. He'll have another race or two then probably go to Dubai for the winter - Robert Cowell, trainer.”

“What a fantastic run. Democracy Dilemma has just kept on improving and he's done nothing wrong the whole year. These are exciting times for Fitri and Jim Hay, and there are plenty of good sprints on the agenda. We know that Chester suits, and York is a good flat track. He just needs a flat, sharp track. He's just genuine and honest and he's a yard favourite - Robert Cowell, trainer.”

“Democracy Dilemma had some problems with the gates last time and Jake Launchbury and Craig Witheford have done a fantastic job of getting that sorted. Chester is a place where you can't miss a beat, so it's a job well done by Robert and the team. When you have that plum draw here you don't want to be giving it away. It was a big help and he's a pretty talented horse, and everything came together - Tom Marquand, rider.”

“I've always liked Democracy Dilemma but I thought he was saving a bit for himself as he's a little bit coltish and the visor helped him. He showed a good turn of foot there and I reckon he'll go to Royal Ascot over the five furlongs after that. There might be something before Ascot, but we'll probably have a day out there - David Evans, trainer.”
