MICK PRICE
On the $1.55m yearling purchase: “She’s beautiful type; big, strong, sound and got a pedigree.
“She’s one of Sheamus’ (Mills) buys for the boys and it’s good that she’s now got a Stakes race (win), that makes them as broodmares, albeit at start two, and the question will be, what to do now?
Magic Millions or Blue Diamond: “Personally, I’m a Group 1 man, but that’s open for discussion. She’s a big, strong filly, she’ll train on and she’ll have a good, robust two-year-old year and that’s open for discussion.”
SHEAMUS MILLS (BUYER AND PART-OWNER)
On buying her for $1.55m: “You’ve got to have the backers, so I have to thank the boys. It’s all down to them, you’ve got to find somebody who is prepared to believe in your ability.
“It’s been an amazing ride now and thankfully we’re repaying them slowly.”
On having horses with Mick Price:“I worked for Mick for years as racing manager and I would say he’s just gone to a new level in terms of thinking outside the square and his patience with these horses.
“I think he’s a much better trainer than he was 10 years ago. We’d all like to think we’re better at something over time, but he’s patient and he’s beaching them, he’s doing all sorts of form study. He’s really covering all bases now.”
Future plans: “Now got to decide if it’s going to be Magic Millions or Blue Diamond, don’t we? I’ll speak to the boys, we’ll put our heads together, but I’d say she’ll have a break now and we can decide which way we want to go.”
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
On the filly: “She was super, a real quality filly who had trialled up well. She just got a little bit lost her first start up the straight here, but having that experience was a lot better today.
On having the ride: “I must thank the connections for putting me back on. I jumped off after she didn’t get her barrier certificate before her first start, so I’m very thankful to be back on her today and it was a good win.
On coming in with race experience: “Me and Junior and Pricey and the owners were all of the same opinion, we’d try and use that to our advantage, try and get her out and be positive, get her up in the firing line and use fitness and experience to our advantage.”
