Winning Trainer: Patrick Payne (on phone)

“They’ve just sent us a really nice horse from New Zealand. He’s a pleasure to train and just keeps ticking along nicely.

“He is nominated for the Australian Cup but I’m going to have to do a bit more research as to whether he goes there or not. With horses like Arcadia Queen and others not going that to that race, it might be an opportunity. But I’m also mindful of not racing him too far outside of his handicap. I’ll need to see where his rating goes after this.

“I’d like to have seen him win with more authority to think too hard about the Australian Cup, though.”

“The Mornington Cup might be more suitable but I’m very open minded about him.”

Winning Jockey: Billy Egan

“He’s a credit to Patrick and also the team who sent hin here from New Zealand. He’s a slow maturing type but he’s just showing us that he’s improving all the time. Credit to Paddy and his team at home for keeping him in good form.

“Especially around the 2000 metres, he started to feel like he’s getting a bit dour and might want a little further so it was a good job to win three on the trot.

“He was showing a bit of dash earlier in the campaign but now he’s starting to dour off but I’m sure Paddy will pick the right path for him and the best interests of the horse.”

On the track: “It’s perfect. It’s the best it has raced in years, I reckon.”
