Cool Hoof Luke
Won the Gimcrack as a 2yo (Group 2; form worked out well); better than ever on AW earlier in the year, making most in a 7f Listed event at Wolverhampton in March; 15-2 fourth favourite for a York Group 2 ten days ago but found nothing when asked for his effort, eventually coming home in his own time; has the ability to go well despite a penalty but he does have a point to prove all of a sudden.

“Cool Hoof Luke doesn't want to make the running but I didn't want to sit last because I thought we wouldn't go that fast. In an ideal situation he was going to be second or third with cover but I didn't achieve that. The horse did really well to save enough. He's a Gimcrack winner. The start before the Gimcrack we ran him at Goodwood because we felt he'd get seven furlongs and I made the running on him there and went too fast. I was worried about repeating the error but I got away with it. As long as the horse stays healthy, he has a very bright future. He's a beautiful model and that was quite a deep race, it was only his second run back in a year and a half, it was an excellent performance - Oisin Murphy, rider.”
“When you look at Cool Hoof Luke you think he's going to be a better 3yo don't you? We weren't sure about the trip, he's bred to be a sprinter, looks like a 7f horse and yet again the trainer got it right! We were a bit disappointed at Goodwood, but he came back and won today - Anna Lisa Balding representing Andrew Balding, trainer.”
