Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Ken Jnr (Mick Price speaking)

“The horse has been in Brisbane for a long time and he got to first emergency in the Golden Eagle. We thought we might run him there if he got a wet track but we tossed the coin whether to run here, next Saturday is the Cranbourne Cup - $500,000 over a mile - so might even back him up.

“Might not do anything with him, not look at him all week. Feed him, play with him and maybe back him up.

“With his racing, I’m not sure if he’ll get a run but a benchmark 90 here, a win is a win. He’s a very good wet tracker so you never know.

“I’ve trained him on the phone since last winter and I have to say that Matt Hoysted and Steve O’Dea, well done but you’re getting paid on this one.

“At this point of the carnival the mile horses can turn up all the time. It will probably be a strong race. He’ll be a nomination and we’ll look at him.”

Winning Jockey: Damian Lane

“It’s been a tough week. Character building as they say. I had to wake up Tuesday and put a new head on, chin up and move forward, and same happened on Thursday. A tough few days but with a really positive mindset it is good to start off with a winner.

“He always travelled really well but the difficult part was going to be navigating a path. I had to concede a bit of ground to do so. This horse sprinted really well at the 450-500 metre mark.”
