Winning Trainer: Ben & JD Hayes (JD interviewed)
On the horse: “He looks fantastic, he’s a very good physical specimen and I’d just like to thank the ownership group - Luke Vandersluys from Leneva Park - they’ve been so supportive and he hasn’t been the most easy horse to train. He is a little bit quirky.
On how close he has come to being gelded: “He was starting to run out of chances and I think he knew what was on the table there, it would have been his manhood, so he really performed how he works at home.
“He does have a terrific motor out there and it was just good to see him put them to the sword today.
On whether he now heads to the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes: “He ran fourth in this race last year and off that went into the Rupert Clarke and ran a very creditable fourth, only beaten a length.
“I dare say he’s in better nick this time being a year older, so we’ll definitely head that way.”
Winning Jockey: Michael Dee
On today’s plan: “I had a nice plan to be positive and if we were i front, we were in front, but there was obviously a little it more speed than we could handle so we were able to take a lovely sit and they spread out that little bit so I was able to edge my way off the fence and he really knuckled down.
“Credit to him today, he’s obviously got a lot of talent, that we all know, it’s just a matter of putting it all together on raceday and today thankfully he did.”
On whether he’s capable of being competitive in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes: “He’s clearly got the talent, he’s got good talent, so if he takes confidence and improvement out of today I don’t see why if he put his best foot forward he wouldn’t be competitive in a Rupert Clarke.”
