Winning Trainer: Kelly Schweida
"I don't know where his ceiling is, he just keeps winning. It's quite incredible really. He's a very unassuming horse, but he got a gun ride today. He goes to sleep in the tie-ups, he's so quiet and lovely and he doesn't look like a racehorse, but he's a pretty good one."
"He probably should have won a stakes race by now, he went close on a Heavy 11 track when he was only beaten a neck, and he almost came from behind the other day. We got the saloon passage from the good gate today."
Winning Jockey: Jason Collett
"He's got such a great attitude. Once he got going the run was easy, and he was strong late. I remember seeing him over the Christmas period when Michael Rodd won on him, and he looked impressive that day. I'd say 1400 metres is probably his best trip, so it was a good sign that he was able to win over 1200 metres today."
