Admittedly, the now 20-year-old Crusaders prop was "skinnier back then", but he'd always played centre and No 8 growing up in Perth, and No 8 when he returned to New Zealand and played for Kerikeri High School.

The red-hot favourite for the William Hill St Leger has raced only four times and never competed as a two-year-old. In some ways that would make him a perfectly normal winner of the world's oldest Classic.
