"It is super. We have been here a month now. We bred this horse. I'll give a special mention to my wife at home. She's had a health scare at the moment.
"He's achieved what I expected he would. I truly believe he would have been a force to be reckoned with in the Straddie but maybe next year.
"He drew 16 from 16 at Doomben and he was second-to-last on the turn. His sectionals were huge. Ethan rode him beautifully the other day and he's backed it up again today.
What's next: "To be honest, I would like to spell him here for a month then have a crack at the first group one in New Zealand and the hopefully to Melbourne in the spring."
Winning Jockey: Ethan Brown
"He's a horse with great stamina. Third-up here today, he broke well so I was happy to use his action and his fitness.
"Proven at the mile he was always going to run a strong mile so used that to my advantage and he was strong all the way through the line. He's a very nice horse.
"I'm sure he can measure up here in Australia and he has proven himself here. I think he's up to it.
"He drew a lot more favourably today. Last start he ran a blinder. Got too much out of his ground from a wide gate but ran home well. I guess that francs the form for War Machine later.
On leading into the straight: "It is a bloody long straight but I was on a well prepared, fit horse who carried me through."
