"I'm sure Ciaron would have been sitting at home cheering, so credit to the team for having this horse presented in such good order."
"Ciaron's back in Warrnambool seeing Mum because it was her birthday in the week, so a big shout out to Mum. Ciaron's her favourite for sure!"
"I don't know what's next for this horse, but he's been going really well up here. A few of the jockeys have said that there's not much wrong with the fence, and Jace [McMurray] said pre-race that he was happy to stay on the inside. It was the quickest way home so everything worked out well."
Winning Jockey: Jace McMurray
"They've done a great job with the track, so when we drew barrier one I was happy to stay on the inside fence. It's still a tiny bit gluey out there but the horse handled the conditions really well. He towed me the whole way so in the end it was quite an easy win. I didn't have to do too much so full credit to the horse for the win. "
