PETER CHAPPLE-Hyam wasn't looking to make excuses this morning after Authorized could only finish 10th in the Arc yesterday.

The trainer expressed his sadness at the Derby winner's below-par run but hailed Dylan Thomas, who proved to be a worthy winner on the day.

Chapple-Hyam said: "I was totally gutted and deflated yesterday after the race.

"I thought I had him spot-on but he has had a few hard races and maybe I had done too much with him. I blame myself for that and the run itself.

"It wasn't Authorized's running as he is a horse who travels into his races so well as a rule.

"Perhaps he was further back than we wanted but the draw didn't help. If he'd managed to lie fourth or fifth early in the race, the energy used in doing so may have resulted in him being beaten further - who knows?

"Frankie ended up looking after him and I take my hat off to him for that.

"Take nothing away from Dylan Thomas. He is such a hard horse and I would like to congratulate Aidan O'Brien on winning his first Arc.

"Authorized comes back to the yard today. His safe arrival is what matters most as he is a horse who has done so much for me.

"Last but not least I would like to thank my staff for all the hard work they have done with the horse this season. Their input has been invaluable."

真君子也...
