On the team's treble: "Super, what a great day for the team. We brought three good chances today and for them to all win has been super.

Pre-race instructions: "We left Nash with an open book, it's never easy from the outside barrier, but he gave it a 10 out of 10 ride, cut the corner and came straight to the outside.

"The horse was nice and fresh today, back to the 1100. (She) needed the firm track, so when it came up soft early in the week the boys weren't going to come here, but good 4 this morning, a tick, and she was here."

Winning Jockey: Nash Rawiller

Similar to scenes when he won the 2000 Bendigo Cup: ""Probably not quite, but I could still hear my family yelling out at the furlong, so it was pretty good.

"It's always nice to come home. We had a nice cup ride lined up and Arapaho sort of ruined the weights for us, unfortunately.

"Rapt to get a winner for the Hayes boys. I was a bit worried when I saw they'd already trained a few winners, so the pressure was on a bit, but I think the mare's always shown really good ability.

"You need that ounce of luck when you get back like that, but when you have the luck they're brilliant and that's what she was."

Is she best ridden cold?: ""Probably, yeah. I think they know her better than me, but she's probably one of those ones that is better kept fresh, not work too hard and you can see there at the furlong was explosive.

"She'll win a better race, no doubt about that."

"Probably, yeah. I think they know her better than me, but she's probably one of those ones that is better kept fresh not work too hard and you can see there at the furlong was explosive.
