Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the apparent improved performance, trainer J Townsend advised the horse was disappointing first up, and with the fitness benefit derived from that run, along with some changes he had made to the training regime of ROAD TO EMMAUS, he was still however somewhat slightly surprised by the performance today.
