Alice Tarjan on KSS talent Tycoon: “This will definitely be a Grand Prix horse”

“Maybe I’m a little crazy, but with a young horse you don’t yet know what they’ll be like under saddle. That largely depends on us as riders and how a horse develops. You’re buying talent and good gaits. When you buy an eight-year-old, it’s different—they’ve already been ridden and shaped by their rider. With Tycoon, everything fell into place the right way. He’s doing incredibly well.”
