Winning Trainer: Chris Waller
On winning a G1 for Godolphin: "Certainly. What they've done for Australian racing, they've supported us for a long time, obviously buying it off the Ingham family. Amazing."
"Godolphin has been an amazing story for Australia and they've been my biggest competitor for so many years consistently in these big races, the stallion making races."
"I am honoured to be training for the likes of Coolmore, Godolphin. We had four great colts in the race and unfortunately there is only one winner."
"He's a son of Bivouac, who raced here in Sydney."
"We've learned a lot from them, the little systems they have and they may think we're OK too."
On the ride: "Adam Hyeronimus has done a great job. Godolphin has stuck solid with him. They're an amazing team.
"He did a great job Adam. He didn't panic on the horse, he got him into a nice rhythm and they've run time as well. It's a true testament to Adam Hyeronimus and the Godolphin team so thanks for their support."
On the importance of getting a G1 win as a colt: "It's a big thing. He's a Silver Slipper winner as a two-year-old, a Group Two winner and now he has won a stallion making race."
"We have to concentrate on Wodeton now and get his one as well. He's a good colt. It was good to see him finish off well. Wootton Bassett is an amazing success story, it has been a sad week, but it was good to see Wodeton finish it off so well so a mile certainly wouldn't be out of his repertoire."
On running the track record: "That's fantastic, especially on your home track."
Winning Jockey: Adam Hyeronimus
On the colt: "He's a talented horse. He was always going to win a good feature race like this."
On the connections: "Not only Chris but the whole Godolphin team and James (Cummings), who had him previously. He's been a difficult horse and I don't think I've ever ridden a horse as many starts as I have with this horse and very thankful to them to leave me on him."
On the improvement: "He has been a work in progress and he's come back this preparation and he's realised he's a racehorse, he's taken everything in his stride. He's had to give the other horses weight in the leadup races and his runs have still been terrific."
On the ride: "I did tell everyone last start that it would be a risk at the 1400m and the main thing was to ride him how we have been riding him, keep things simple."
"He has got a very good turn of foot, he showed that as a two year old winning the Silver Slipper, so he was due, but it's very exciting."
Beaten Jockeys:
Tyler Schiller (Nepotism): "I thought he was a touch disappointing today. He had a lovely run, he was just a ball of anger the whole way. He likes having his own room and he didn't get that today. It probably showed late when he didn't let down."
Kerrin McEvoy (Skyhook): "I thought he ran well. We just had to stride around and sit outside the leader, maybe the drying ground went a little bit against him today."
James McDonald (Wodeton): "He was excellent. He was very gallant in defeat, stayed on really well and his day will come."
Chad Schofield (State Visit): "He found them a bit sharp."
Nash Rawiller (Rivellino): "He was a touch slow away from that outside draw. I would've like a bit more pressure up front, it just made it difficult to pull any ground off them. He kept finding the line for me, Kris (Lees) has probably got the option to go to a mile if there's the right race for him. He's a nice horse but it's hard to give them starts on these tracks."
Jason Collett (Autumn Boy): "Had a wide run early but disappointing in the straight wasn't able to go with them when they sprinted. He's probably looking for further, a mile even ten furlongs."
Rachel King (Sixties): "Really good run. He's probably just looking for a little bit further now. He didn't quite have the same early speed as he had last start, but tough late."
Ethan Brown (Tempted): "She ran really well. They ran quick time, I feel like she's probably a little bit more effective over 1200m with a hotter tempo but very good effort."
