“I don’t know what happened last start, I put a tongue tie on him today and hoped for the best!” said Matt Laurie.

“He’s always been very honest and consistent in his career, so we chose to press on and I’m glad we did.”

Riddle Me That is the first stakes-winner among nine winners from good producing Group III winner Justine Coup, a grand-daughter of Group I winner Royal Regatta by Entrepreneur (GB).
