What They Say

'They have to beat me. Vengeance Of Rain is a champion in his own right but in this game there's always one coming to beat you. Viva Pataca is as good as Vengeance Of Rain, is a year younger and probably had a better preparation.'

John Moore, trainer of Viva Pataca

'David [Ferraris] has done a super job with him - he'll go into this race in absolutely perfect order. I truly don't think I've ever felt him as well - I know that's a big call but that's how he feels to me.'

Anthony Delpech, jockey of Vengeance Of Rain

'Darjina travelled well. She is nearly back to her normal weight and I have been pleased with her work. She's very calm which is normal for her; I would be worried if she was anything else.'

Alain de Royer-Dupre, trainer of Darjina
