Winning Trainer: Tony Pike (rep by Tony Noonan)
“I’ve been good mates with Tony (Pike) and known his family for more than 30 years. I was honoured for him to ring me but I’ve been under a bit of pressure, we haven’t been firing a shot.
“He’s a good trainer. He just knew what he wanted to do with this horse and he’s upped the ante and he’s got him spot on.
“Tony thought that from that gate it would be best getting some cover and Damien gave him a lovely ride and he got a lovely track into the race and hit the line impressively.
“He’s a lovely big horse and he relaxed beautifully today so he’s heading in the right direction (to the Derby).”
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
“He led up at a strong tempo with the blinkers and he was still a bit fresh last start. That run really brought him on.
“Credit to Tony Pike, he’s such a good trainer of these young stayers. Big thanks to Tony Noonan and his staff that are looking after him. He was really good today.
“I just thought (the pace) was perfect. When Tony said that we wanted to ride him a bit quieter I knew we wanted to ride him behind the speed and we didn’t want to be doing the donkey work but I thought it might have been the wrong day to do it.
“I didn’t think there’d be much tempo on paper and lucky for us it worked out that there was strong tempo and that was always going to suit this horse - a genuinely run 2200 metres. He was obviously strongest late.”
2500m: “I think he’ll be right. He’s a tough horse who has always shown he’ll want a trip so hopefully in ten days time he’ll be right there.”
