Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Mick Kent Jnr

“He wants further and a big track. Blinkers on today and he didn’t overdo it which is good.

“From an inside draw, Jye got a lovely spot. I’ve always liked this horse. A beautiful colt and hopefully we can get him to the Derby.

Blinkers going on today: “Today was the right time to do it because he’s going to go up in distance a fair bit now to the Derby. Today we were going to have a look and see if they worked. They do work for this breed a lot.

“He’s a very laid back customer. I saw him in the yard there and he was almost half asleep. He’s got a huge stride and Flemington will be his go.

Straight to the Derby, wet: “We were a bit unsure coming in. He worked and trialled on soft and heavy we weren’t so sure he loved it so I think he’ll be better on top of the ground.

Tiz Magic: “He had no luck. He’s a lovely horse and got stuck wide the whole way. We’ll work out what we do with him.”

Winning Jockey: Jye McNeil

“Put himself in a good position with the blinkers which is key. He travelled really comfortably off a moderate tempo and it was just a matter of getting a bit of room at some stage which we got at around the 500 (metre mark).

“I felt as though, in the straight when he put them away, he had a little glance around so there’s a bit of upside there.”

52-kilos: “I’ve done it three weeks in a row now and done it better each time. Thankfully I’m in a position where I can do it easily.”
