Winning Trainer: Michael Trotter
On notching his first Group win: "It's surreal to be honest but this mare has been amazing. She's been around the mark for so long and it was just nice to see her get past the post first today.
"She's done an amazing job and it's great for everyone involved in the stable, so I couldn't be happier."
What he was thinking mid-race: "To be honest, I wasn't thinking a helluva lot, I was just watching Craig and he was slowly creeping into the race and then when he got to her on the turn I thought, she's going to give them a good shake here' and she just kept kicking. It was amazing."
On Craig Williams' association with the mare: "He won on her at Flemington a few starts back now and rode her an absolute treat that day and last start rode her really well again and today is the same story.
"It was a fantastic result, great for Craig to be on board and I couldn't be more happy with what he's achieved for me and the rest of our team."
On his staff being involved in the ownership: "All the staff are involved, the've had a pretty amazing ride.
"It's a great result for me, there's no Christmas bonus required this year. I'm sure everyone will be happy and there'll be a few drinks tonight."
Winning Jockey: Craig Williams
On securing Black Type for Rumbled Again: "It's very special, we want to be figuring in big racedays, it's our Black Type and the last instruction was get some Black Type for her.
"She was well deserved of it. She did all the running, loved the ground and it's a great story because all the staff are involved so it was really well felt."
On the ride: "In that ground, it's testing, but we had the right horse and I was confident in her where she was and Michael gave me that confidence, he just said do what you need to be doing on her.
"Again, it was a pretty ambitious ride and luckily enough I had the right horse to get the right horse and she was dominant.
"We kept it simple, Stupid. She did all the running and full credit goes to her."
On his plans over summer: "I was very lucky, my wife and my eldest daughter we went to Japan…we had seven days there and last night was our first day back. I'm planning on riding out through the summer months and looking towards the Magic Millions.
"I've had my bit of a break and I'm really motivated and looking forward to the summer ahead."
