Winning Trainer: Ken & Kasey Keys (Kasey speaking)
Day means a lot?: "Correct. I was so nervous this morning. He had been working so well and everything had fallen into place and it was relief when it all came off.
"I was as nervous as anything and luckily Luke is the cool, calm and collected man because I wasn't."
Next?: "Haven't gone that far. I wasn't brave enough to. I'm sure we'll find another one in a couple of weeks."
Winning Jockey: Luke Currie
Getting the job done?: "It was a good effort. I thought there was good speed and he raced handyish, but he had been wide in his last couple, so I thought it was better to give him his chance. He was relaxed off that speed and towed me into the corner and got out to the middle. It took him a little bit to go, he wanted to lay in, and got it a little bit wrong, but he was very good with those horses, probably stopping a bit late."
