Margins: Head x ½ Neck
Winning Trainer: Kris Lees
On his thoughts during the race with seven runners: “I thought Rustic Steel looked sweet in the run. Hugh gave him a perfect ride and he presented at the right time. I could see French Marine trying hard underneath them. At the finish I actually thought Kiss Sum (2nd) had come over the top of them. Really good to win for these connections, they put a lot of money into racing both here and New Zealand so it’s great to have a winner for them on a big day.”
On the ultimate gear change: “He was a promising horse all along. Just lost his way a bit as colts can do and Pinelea wisely made the right decision to geld him and he’s come back a much smarter horse.”
On the run of French Marine (3rd at $61): “I said to Timmy (Clark), he’s just such a tough little horse. He’s probably out-graded but he’ll get through the ground and give you a sight.”
Winning Jockey: Nash Rawiller
On the run in transit: “He did it the hard way. To his credit he relaxed really good in the run and was able to just stalk outside the stablemate (Rustic Steel) there and fortunately for me he pulled out to make his run 550-600m from home and basically was able to suck behind him.”
On when he was confident of winning: “I thought I was a really good chance of winning the race turning for home. Also knew that we hadn’t had the easiest of runs but I’d trialled this horse before and I knew when I really needed something he’d find. Fortunately that last three hops, I thought Kerrin (McEvoy on 2nd horse Kiss Sum) was going to get us, but he did find something for me.”
On the training performance: “Just a good effort by the horse, great training performance. We all know Kris Lees is right up there in the top echelon of trainers but races like this are great. It gives a bloke like him a chance to compete against a more even lot of horses and this horse was really well placed today. His stablemates were probably a little bit better found in the market, but I’ve trialled this bloke before and knew he had something up his sleeve so to come and win a nice race like this is good to get the job done.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Hugh Bowman (Rustic Steel): “Ran a great race. Delighted with him.”
Damien Oliver (Never Talk): “Ran well. Was off the bit a long way from home chasing. Her best part was close to the line. Feels like she wants a bit further at that tempo.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Kiss Sum): “Very good run. When he got to the outside he really powered late. Only needed another four strides and he would have gotten there.”
Regan Bayliss (Travest): “Ground was testing.”
Tom Sherry (Astero): “Had a terrific run. Perfect spot. Just struggled late in the going.”
Rachel King (Poseidon Ruler): “Very brave effort.”
Tim Clark (French Marine): “Toughed it out really well on speed.”
James McDonald (Great News): “She was brave. Really happy with her.”
Jeff Penza (Barossa Rosa): “Heavy going was too much for her.”
William Pike (Mayrose): “Wasn’t her day.”
Brenton Avdulla (Grande Rumore): “Didn’t track well on the ground.”
Craig Williams (Pippali): “She was courageous today. She hated the ground. Still tried.”
Tommy Berry (Confessed): “Very gallant. Ran home well.”
Ellen Hennessy (Sally Pops): “Tried her hardest.”
Andrew Gibbons (Tawfiq Lass): “Ran as good as she could.”
