Azertyuiop's jockey was clearly impressed:

He is better than a machine, he is an aeroplane. He can jump high into the air and still not lose ground. I wasn´t really sure how I was going, I gave him a squeeze he just kicked into another gear and he was away. He is an incredible horse to ride. Everything seems so easy for him. The hardest thing with him is staying on his back, not riding him. I´ve ridden different horses that have done wonderful things on different days. What he did last year as a five-year-old in the Champion Chase, to me that was phenomenal. When Kauto Star won the Betfair, Tingle Creek and King George back to back, that was an unbelievable performance and Denman´s Sun Alliance, Papillon´s National. Different horses on different days have done wonderful things. This fellow seems to do it every day. Papillon used to jump like him and I thought I would never ever ride another leaper like him. This fellow is so sure of what he is doing. He knows how much power he has. He beat real good horses last year, proper championship horses like Voy Por Ustedes, and he annihilated them. To me he is a one in a million horse. What I go racing for is horses like this. -Ruby Walsh, Jockey.
