"That was a big win. The pattern of the day was scaring us a little bit, because it looked like you needed to be up near the speed. I said to the owners before the race that if he could win against the pattern he's a good horse, so that was unbelievable."
"I spoke to Dan [Moor] before the race and all the jockeys had been fanning out, but if you're going to have to use up too much petrol you may as well stay inside and ride for luck. It worked out well."
Winning Jockey: Daniel Moor
"He's got a ripper turn of foot, and I think he could measure up to better races. He was brave when I needed him to be, he gave a really solid kick and it was quite a soft win in the end."
"The track is cutting out a bit, when I walked it before the first I thought the inside would be red hot but it's played pretty fair overall. You have to play the cards you're dealt with him and take up the runs when they open up, luckily they came at the right time."
