What made him so "precious and wonderful" compared to other horses? Did anyone here spend time with him and get to know him? Maybe he was a jerk! ;^)

“We’ve taken our time with him,” Matz said prior to his Holy Bull victory. “Physically, he was ready before, but mentally, he had a lot of growing up to do. He’s a big horse, well-mannered. He’s a kind horse, nice to be around. He’s a lot of horse, though, and you can’t just have anyone ride him.”

FWIW. Quote from the trainer last Feb.
