State-to-state double: “First state-to-state double. I’m rapt with that. I told Josh to get some cover and he’s ridden that a treat. She’s finished off enormous”

Didn’t work out last time: “She was a victim of circumstances last time. First-up she was enormous and we were very confident wherever she ran today that she was going to be winning. There was a bit more prizemoney over at Flemington. She’d had one start down the straight at Flemington and Craig Williams got off and said the only thing that cost her winning was her lack of experience to straight racing. I’m absolutely rapt to get the win for Tim Lillie who is over there and I’m hoping he’s having a great day over there.”

Talented mare: “She’s picked up some black type placings, so that’s very valuable for a mare. Probably spring time is going to be her go now, but there’s plenty of races around for the next few months, so we’ll work it out.”

Winning Jockey: Josh Richards

Good win: “It was a good win. Talking to Chris this morning he said he was really happy with the way she was going. He just said to forget about her last start. When we got out on the track she gave me a nice feel that she was well in herself. She jumped well and felt quite strong throughout the race, she was full of running and found the line.”

Confident: “I probably asked her a little bit early, but she took me up there quite easy. To her credit she was full of running and felt really well in herself.”
