On winning jockey Megan Dunseath: “She’s got a ripper, ripper work ethic so I was really happy to give her a go and be rewarded too.”

On the Flying Pierro“He’s a big dumb horse. I’m sure he’ll wander back onto the flat at some stage and put it together. Last start at Stawell was good - he was just on and off the bridle, he’s got no idea - so it was the perfect time to go jumping.”

“He was out of gas but he’s got good heart and keeps trying. I’m sure we’ll have a fair bit of fun with him yet.”

Winning Jockey: Megan Dunseath

On the Warrnambool Carnival: “Warrnambool is just brilliant. I love it. I arrived three-and-a-half years ago, I got sponsorship with Richard Cully and I’ve been there (Ballarat) since.

On the jumps racing fraternity: “They’re all a brilliant help, they are. They’re all very good and very encouraging.”

On the history of being the first woman to win a jumps race at the Carnival: “I got told yesterday, but I tried not to think about it. It was an unbelievable reception.”

On the horse and the concluding stages: “He’s such a tough horse, he really is.

“I was like ‘they’re coming, they’re coming’.”
