On doing it all right: "Nash got off her the other day and said she is going to win a really nice race at some stage. It wasn't Nash's job to steer her today but I think Tim probably realised he was warming the saddle because Nash will get back on. A nice problem to have. Jockeys fighting over a horse."
On her style: "A nice mare to state the obvious. Keeps winning. A great racing pattern. Makes her own luck. Just keeps getting better."
On what is next: "Had planned to take her to the Wenona Girl. She will probably sneak in one more race at this level and then probably have to go into something better. Looks like she is capable of going onto something better. A nice situation to be in. Interesting to see at some point if she can run beyond 1200m. I think she will."
On Ceolwulf: "Going to get him scoped. Not sure. We had a little bit of blood, a tiny amount of blood but the horse doesn't seem distressed at all. He's not coughing but I'm getting him scoped so I'll have news soon. I'm hoping more than anything [that it wasn't a bleed]. He's not presenting typically like a bleeder would present. It sucked the life out of that win for me."
Winning Jockey: Tim Clark
Thoughts on Weeping Woman: "She's a beautiful mare. I got a bit lucky getting on her with a light weight but you've got to take those opportunities when they come your way. She is obviously building a really good record and is just so easy to ride - she is real push button. She sprung the lids and was just able to control it - it hasn't been a bad place to be today."
"She quickened up really well. Nash [Rawiller] said that she pins the ears back and tries really hard so she doesn't need a lot of stick. She is really game and gives 100%. She is a nice mare going places."
Beaten Jockeys:
Jason Collett (Manaal): "She has run well. Just a bit quick on top of the ground. I was happy with the way she found the line but more so through it."
Adam Hyeronimus (Gerringong): "Has gone extremely well. Didn't execute the start and had us on the back foot. Had to ride her quiet. Has come back well. Jump better next time she will run well."
Tommy Berry (Just Feelin' Lucky): "A bit outclassed today."
Chad Schofield (Tuileries): "She ran very well. Today was all about getting her to relax. She did that and sprinted hard. Probably peaked the last 50m. Hard to beat next time."
Ashley Morgan (Verona Rose): "Ran an enormous race. A stayer resuming and she really let rip at the top of the straight. Great run."
Zac Lloyd (Countyourblessings): "She may not have travelled back too well from the Gold Coast."
Tyler Schiller (Dark Glitter): "She ran out of her skin. Way over the odds. Has done a great job."
Dylan Gibbons (Lilac): "On face value probably a bit disappointing. Be forgiving and see her at 1400m where she can get control."
Braith Nock (Super Norwest): "Probably ended up a pair further back and felt we were dictated too. Went a bit keen if anything. Took some of the finish away."
