"It was a good story, this one. They were trying to get this yearling at the sale but they were standing at the back. When I went back into the yard I said to them 'I hope he stays sound' and now he's won $4 million.
"There's a spread of good people. It is a great result for a lot of people.
On Tom Sherry: "We gave him his first group one winner and he's been picking up rides for the good stables. You've got to give them a chance.
"I was keen to have him on today and he executed perfectly. At the 200-metre mark he was keeping himself balanced.."
Winning Jockey: Tom Sherry
"I really liked the horse's chances today. He's been waiting for the 1400 (metres). He's had a great prep.
"Peter has been great. He's been giving me good opportunities. Great bunch of owners as well,.
"It has been a long humid day. I might have a couple of glasses of champagne."
