“I’m rapt for Damien. He’s been starving and I asked if he wanted something to eat.
On the horse: “We had a good plan. Just to let him roll. The other day he held him up and he over-raced and wasn’t breathing right.
“He kept him nice and fresh and well and we said to Damien not to overcomplicate it. Just go to the front and let him breath and use his natural speed.”
“We thought he could win first-up. He’s got buried the fence and he just did everything wrong. I said to Damien, just let him roll , into a good rhythm.
“He’s got really good natural speed, let’s use that. He’s pretty well educated. He’s been in work a long time and been through the system three times.
“I was pretty confident coming into today that he’d run a super race.
“We bought him off the far for about $30,000 from Spendthrift out of the paddock 12 months ago and said to the ownership (Donald’s) that this is our first two-year-old together is it a winner. Even better.
Future prospects: “I had (thought about) him gelded on Monday (yesterday) so he’ll have a break, he’s been in work a long time and give him a bit of a freshen up, have a crack. He’s small and open to improvement.
“He’s got good natural speed and he’s paid his way for everyone.”
Winning Jockey: Damien Thornton
Race experience counted: “I think it helped today. He’s seen the straight last time when he did a little bit wrong.
On the horse and run: “He’s got a few attitude issues but if we can iron them out he’ll be alright.
“It played out really well. He jumped ok, jumped a little right but I wasn’t worried. I just wanted to get into a rhythm, get him relaxed. He pricked on ear and just cruised down the straight. I was happy to come up the middle and just got him flowing.
“He’s got a kick, if he kicks we’ll find out.”
