Great result for the stable with a quinella: “It’s great to be a part of these races. They are quite lucrative and these horses fitted the criteria. We thought it was a lovely race for both of them and with the rain coming that probably went in their favour a little bit. They are proven on wet tracks. Street Delight is and we galloped the other horse on a wet track and he went really well. We thought they would run well and they did.”

How did he come to land in the stable: “Matt Sellick bought him and syndicated him. He took a little bit of time to develop but he’s a really nice three-year-old. We’ve got a big opinion of him. He won his maiden beautifully and we took him to town over the carnival at Flemington, but he was just a little bit green. He’s a developing horse and we had one eye on the Sandown Guineas, but when this eye came up we thought we would go for the easier option. I think he’s got a bright future.”

Further this campaign: “We’ll see what happens, but if we give him a spell I think he will really improve. He might end up in a nice race in the autumn.”

On Street Delight: “We threw her in the deep end at the start of the spring and we’re back on track now. She might want further. She’s versatile and she’s run two seconds now, but I thought she was terrific.”

Horse going places: “When he won at Casterton it was only a small field that had a couple of unknowns that had raced, but I really liked last start the way he went about his business at Flemington. He ran a nice race and finished off quite well. The question today was whether he would like the ground, whether he would handle the ground and whether he would do everything right, which he did. He was very green up the straight, with the bit of wind there, so we pushed through the havoc into the straight and I think he was in for the fight there when the other horse put the acid to me. It came to me easily. I had to go through a gap and when he did, he really savaged the line.”
