Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Mick Kent Jnr
“A quinella is a quinella. They both ran well. I’ve just got to keep thinking about Profiteer but Extreme Warrior was very good.
“If these are the horses that are going to the Coolmore and this is the race that you use, why wouldn’t you be confident about Extreme Warrior?
“He stood up and stood up very strongly. He wasn’t challenged and ran a strong 1200 metres and will turn up in the Coolmore.”
Profiteer: “Let’s hope the stablemate (Extreme Warrior) is going to go up and up and up, and that Profiteer has been beaten by a very smart horse. There’s a little bit of work to do on that one.
“I certainly don’t want to give up because the Coolmore is worth so much being a stallion. I’ll be no doubt thinking about this at 1am tomorrow sitting bolt upright.”
Winning Jockey: Zac Spain
“Feels amazing. Big thank you to Mick Price and Mick Kent and the whole ownership group for keeping me on him. He’s an exciting horse and I’m glad I could get the win on him again today.
“He was super. He relaxed really well behind the speed and I was just biding my time. When I got to the outside he really let down for me and he showed me his quality. His form as a two-year-old is impeccable and he’s come back in great order. The team has done a fantastic job.”
Prospect of the Flemington straight: “Even when he hit the front today he had a look around and felt like he still had plenty there. Exciting times ahead and hopefully I can stick with him.”
