Any consideration to scratching: “Not one! Don’t even finish the sentence! Not one!

“I’ll tell you why. He’s a Pommy horse, they love the bog and it’s not a bog, it’s just a bit of rain and didn’t he hadn’t it beautifully.

“He took a second to get his feet at the top of the straight and then he just let down and it was just magic.”

Next: “Anything could beckon. We’re down in Melbourne and it’s the Cup capital. Could you think of any time better to have a staying type horse here?”

Next race planning: “It’ll give me something to do tonight.”

Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs

“It worked out perfectly from the gate. We were able to get a good run and when I popped out along the side I saw Keats trying to get a margin on us and make us chase him but I always felt like I was going to get there.

“It felt like he was getting into his work nicely and it was a good win in the end.”
