Winning Trainer: John Moloney
Stable favourite: “Absolutely. How do you beat his form. I guess the punters found him at the finish but the tipsters early in the week couldn’t see him, but there he is, doing his job again.”
Careful where to plus him: “He’ll have to come out of the (benchmark) 70 now. Maybe they’ll give him three points, keep it low, and we’ll be right. They’ll give him a few points, but you can’t help that.”
On Alana Kelly: “We’ve been watching Alana for a while, even before she was riding as good as she has been of late. We’ve had our eyes set on her, not that I have a big stable, but it’s nice to give her ride.
“We’ve had a bit of luck here through the season, so let’s hope it continues through the next.”
Winning Jockey: Alana Kelly
Winning last race of season: “I’ve been on a bit of a roll of late and getting on some nice horses so it’s good to finish the season on a good note.”
First ride on Imperial Lad: “He’s a cool little dude. Just knows his job. I thought he was gone on the corner but I was really happy to see him fight back off the canvas.”
