Winning Trainer: Annabel Neasham
On the win: “That’s the way to ride him. I thought we’re not going to die wondering, roll along and just repeat last year. She (Kah) gave him an absolute peach.
All of his wins, he’s gone quick and that’s his greatest asset, his big cruising speed, I said put your foot down… she did exactly that and he’s just so tough.”
“It was so exciting and Mo’Unga was terrific as well. That was a proper horse race.
“To have started my career with a horse like this (and) as an eight-year-old he has beaten a horse like Anamoe in emphatic style.’
Back-to-back wins: “Last year it was relief because he’d had that temperature for the Cox Plate and I wondered whether I was doing the right thing running him here and so when he won it was a feeling of relief but this year I’ve been able to enjoy it, he was third in the market.”
On Kah: “It’s amazing. She’s terrific and I thought that this might be his day. He loves Flemington and I’m absolutely delighted.”
For the owners: “It’s very special, a lot of the owners are on the board of the VRC including the chairman so to do it on their home track is so special, I just love this horse, he’s been phenomenal.”
“I just feel emotional. They’re such great supporters of mine, the owners, and this horse has been so wonderful to me.”
Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah
Getting the win: “Isn’t he just a superstar. It was a hot race and he’s been running against them every second week and just things haven’t gone our way.”
Tactics: “Today, as Annabel said, just don’t leave anything in the locker, pour it up to them from the 600 (metre mark). He’s fit, he’s spot on and today he dropped me coming out.
“When he’s on he’s cheeky and he was just bouncing off his head today. He was feeling so well.
During the run: “It didn’t hurt him that he was under a bit of pressure because he thrives off it. He really put in today. He did what he likes doing best and that’s rolling along. We saw the superstar horse that’s Zaaki.”
“On the turn I just let him do his thing and then on the line we were tiring slightly but he’s just got the biggest heart this horse and he was in for the fight. I’m just so, so happy.”
What the win means: “The day has just made it so much more special, I’ve got my beautiful parents here, not to be riding during the carnival last year to winning a Group 1 on one of the biggest days of racing is just an unbelievable feeling.”
“It’s been a tough week really, I’ve had some nice rides but nothing’s really hit the mark. I had a lovely horse in the Oaks (Pavitra) that just missed out and i was just hoping, cmon do I just get a little bit of luck this week. I was expecting him to run well but how can you be confident against Anamoe and I’m Thunderstruck.”
On Annabel Neasham: “It’s just unbelievable. She’s a beautiful woman, she’s a fantastic lady to ride for, she doesn't fill your head with too many instructions. What she’s been able to do with her stable, to build it up to a dynasty, she’s got so many classy horses, so much faith in her team, it’s hard not to have faith in her horses, they’re flying at the moment, she deserves it all, she’s fantastic.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Mark Zahra (I'm Thunderstruck): “He ran well. The race shape was against him, having to get that far back, but he’s had a long prep and done a good job.”
Nash Rawiller (Mo'unga): “Super run. He’ll win the BMW (Tancred Stakes) or something big in Sydney, it just hasn’t quite come together for us, I thought it was going to come together today but it didn’t quite.”
Ben Melham (Maximal): “I feel he wasn’t focussed today. We had a good run and I thought we were going to run well and as soon as he sensed horses around him, he ran around. He was squealing in the barriers, that’s normally not a good sign.”
Damien Oliver (Hezashocka): “Beautiful run. He ran enormous, if he’d gone straight he might have nearly won.”
John Allen (Bankers Choice): “He went super. A little bit more room at the top of the straight he might have finished a length or two closer.”
James McDonald (Anamoe): “Great run. They went slow, but it still felt like I had a lovely run to pick them up but he levelled out quickly.”
Brenton Avdulla (Hinged): “I thought she ran really well. She’s only a young mare, I think in six months or 12 months she’ll be that level and any cut in the ground would be a benefit for her.”
Tim Clark (Mustang Valley): “The tempo was against her and probably wants it wetter.”
Craig Williams (Elliptical): “I thought he was fantastic. This is not your standard Mackinnon Stakes, these are the best 2000-metre horses that we have at weight-for-age, so my horse having only his first preparation and a handful of runs, I thought he acquitted himself quite well.”
Michael Dee (Mr Maestro): “He just felt a little bit tired today.”
