Winning Trainers: Chris & Corey Munce (Chris speaking)

"Days like this don't come along too often, so you've got to enjoy them and make the most of them when they do. I'm so proud of the team and it's great to be able to win it for Max. He's always supported me since the start of my riding career, I won a Cox Plate for him on Savabeel so we go a long way back."

"It's onto the Sires next and then the JJ Atkins. I'll have to have a chat with Martin to see if we take the blinkers off. He's a really nice colt, you wouldn't think he's a colt because he's so laid-back and casual. He's got a heart as big as he is, which is all you can ask for."

"He surprised Martin, every time he gallops him he gives him a pat, which is how I know Martin likes a horse. He keeps stepping up and impressing Martin with his work."

Training with Corey: "He takes some of the pressure off my shoulders, and he stays nice and calm which rubs off on me when I get a bit fired up, so we work well together."

Winning Owner: Max Whitby

"What a great result, and what a training performance. The boys have done a great job with this horse, I'm so proud of them. I think we might have a proper colt on our hands, so it's off to the Sires Produce next."

Winning Jockey: Martin Harley

"That felt pretty special. He's a horse we hold in high regard, he travelled smoothly today and luckily I couldn't get there too soon because there were horses in front of me. He wanted to go through the gap and showed a great will to win."

"He had match fitness on his side, and when he let down he was very determined which is a pretty good sign. I don't know if he'll run out a strong mile, but I'll leave that to the team."
