Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr (Michael Kent Jnr speaking)
“Very good. He’s a brilliant colt. He got very worked up behind the gates and almost half melted so we thought he might be a big fresh and a bit underdone but he was too good in the end.
“He’s a beautiful colt and everyone that comes to see him loves him. He’s got a massive hip and he’s what Extreme Choice can throw.
“There’s not many of these bulls around so he’s obviously been highly sought after and secured by Rosemont and their investors.
“It’s really good to get back with a win and he’s got one of those freakish actions with a really long stride and he’s a very quick horse.
“He’s a big bull. I just saw him in the yard there and he’s got a lot of improvement to come. The Goodwood is four weeks away so we’ll put a run in between. We’ll talk to the team and work that one out.”
Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah
“There’s plenty of improvement there and the team has been very kind on him. He was probably a trial short so it was really nice to see him hit the line like he did.
“My first sit on him the other day in a trial he really impressed me. He’s a very talented colt and I think he’s got more improvement to come.
“He rolled in a little bit and I got ‘called’ so I went easy on him a little bit. He pulled up like he needed the run as well so he’s going to improve off that. He’s very talented.”
