He was the highest rated hurdler in both his championship seasons and at the time of his retirement was the fifth highest rated hurdler in the organisation's history, after Night Nurse, Monksfield, Birds Nest and Golden Cygnet.

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
