John Hawkes Last Quotations

I thought he did a good job last week but he's drawn badly and that makes it tough, particularly from the 2400m start,

But he's got a long way to go to get to the Derby. It's entirely up to him how he copes along the way as to how far he'll go this spring. He ran only once last season because he was still immature and is not mentally there yet. But he's doing the right things and I hope he continues to go ahead. If he can't cope, I'll turn him out.
