Winning Trainer: Daniel Bowman (rep by Denita Bowman)

“Can’t complain about a winner, can we?

“I thought Harry gave him the perfect run throughout and when he ran into a little bit of trouble - he has been unlucky a few times this prep - I was thinking ‘oh no not again’ but Harry was able to push his way through and get the job done.

“He has been running well in tougher grade and Harry just gave him the perfect ride, Daniel has trained him to perfection. Onwards and upwards from here.”

Winning Jockey: Harry Coffey

“It’s good to get a win. It has been a big week but I must admit I had a couple of rides last night and then him today, I’m a little bit rusty.

“But good that we had a bit of luck and the gaps came. He’s a horse who has a really good turn-of-foot especially if he’s held up and even though it doesn’t look pretty sometime when he is held up and that gap comes he can really be explosive through it.

“At the top of the straight it was probably a bit of an ugly watch but I knew at the top of the straight that he has a really good turn-of-foot and I tried to be patient.

“I was a bit rusty but the horse make me look good.

“There were a couple of tight little runs and I thought I’m better off waiting until the gaps come rather than forcing the runs because when the gaps come he can go through but he’ll let go a lot better if he had to barge his way out.

“He’s not an overly big or powerful horse but when he’s given room he’s got a beautiful turn-of -foot. Knowing that, it helps.

“Also we haven't had a lot of luck this preparation. It hasn’t gone right and the connections and Daniel, they’ve continued to put me on. And when that happens you start to know that they really want you to ride the horse and then things like that happen today and it comes off.”
