Winning Trainer: James Cummings

On the hore, who was the first born at Godolphin in 2020: “Zulfiqar is our number one foal out of the whole crop and that’s a great advantage for that horse, because he’s mature and he’s bigger than most of his colleagues back in the barns.

“But he’s got a bit of speed about him and Ben Melham was able to use that, he used his pace out of the gates and got him into stride using that inside running rail that’s so advantageous to a young.

“It’s a great credit to all my staff at Crown Lodge who have just nursed this horse along, brought him in prep by prep and have him ready to go even for the Breeders Plate.

“But I just did not want to run the horse on a rain-affected track and there was Flemington with Liam O’Keefe having this track perfect laying in wait for us.

On the win for Exceel And Excel: “That’s a great result for our teams, our farms. Exceed And Excel, that’s Stakes winner number one million or something and he’s run the quinella in the Maribyrnong Trial.

On his future: “He’s got lots of scope for improvement, like all of these horses here, but my horse is just going to keep improving now that they’ve hit the racetrack and for him to be doing that now with the style that he’s got tells me that he’s a pretty serious customer and he held off a pretty slick customer and looked really stylish to the line.

“Hopefully he gave Ben Melham what we’ve been getting from his trackwork and all his preliminary and all of the team have had their fingerprints all over him and it’s great that he’s got up and got the job done at Flemington on debut.”

On Penteleone: “He just didn’t take to the swabbing process well. The first needle wasn’t working well, so another needle had to go in on the other side of his neck.

“They’ve got to do what they’ve got to so but if the two-year-olds don’t cop it sweet and they’re not in the right headspace it’s just going to be disappointing and dangerous for everyone, so we pulled him out.

“He’ll go back to the trials and fight another day because he’s not a bad little horse.”

Winning Jockey: Ben Melham

On the horse: “He’s a nice horse, very well-educated as these Godolphin horses are. He drew wide, he began fast and he was going to be a little bit lost but he had the advantage of the rail to follow and just ran controlled sectional.

“He always felt as though he was going to win the race and when he got challenged it made him switch on a little bit and he went to the line really well.”

On how important finding the rail way: “With these early two-year-olds it is a big advantage. He was a little bit lost and then he found the rail and he was good.”
