Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (Gai speaking)
Decision to run again: “Relief. Absolute relief. He won at Sandown beating so many of the horses that he was up against today and Adrian was adamant about the mile and so was Gerry, and I bow to their superior knowledge because they were completely right.
“Tim was able to use his speed from the gates, he stuck to the fence and it was ‘see you later Alligator’.’
On the win: “We are thrilled. I know Adrian will get huge satisfaction, Gerry (Harvey, owner) will be looking at the dollars and cents which, well done, I told him we’d give him both today, not only give him the dollars and cents but we’d give him the trophy as well.”
Progression of the horse: “It’s a wonderful thing. This horse has gone through a lot with his back injury, he’s come through it, he’s racing in superb fashion and today he just showed he was the best of the best.”
1600m at weight-for-age: “Certainly proven for those horses who have gone through the handicap and come into open class. He was raced in the best weight-for-age race which is of course the Cox Plate, now to this which is probably his better distance. It was fabulous.”
On another All Star Mile tilt: “I can’t see why not, absolutely. We’ve had a taste of it haven’t we?”
Winning Jockey: Tim Clark
The preparation: He was well set up coming back from the 2000m, he is at the back end of a really tough campaign and full credit to Gai and Adrian and Bec and Dave, the staff down here, they’ve kept him up that extra couple of weeks and looked after him.”
“He’s just had a wonderful prep the whole way through and he’s never let us down, really.
“It’s great to see him get another Group 1 on the board… he wears his heart on his sleeve, he’s as tough as they come and obviously didn’t have Zaaki on speed with him but he still was able to flow nicely and importantly he relaxed really well to give a good, strong kick.
“What a wonderful job and can’t thank Gai and Adrian enough.”
On the run: “He was happy. He got into a lovely rhythm and flowed. He was relaxed and looped in the reins. He was just enjoying it.
“When he got out to 2000m he was still just that little bit keen where back to the mile, that tempo he relaxed a lot better.”
“Obviously Private Eye, the new kid on the block who’s been airborne this prep. I was obviously worried about him to a certain degree.”
“Obviously I had to ride my race and get my job right, get my sectionals right and I had full faith in my horse.”
Three Group 1’s: “They’re my sole Group 1’s down here with him, now he actually becomes the horse I’ve ridden the most amount of Group 1’s on with three, it’s happened very quickly and hopefully it’s not the end of the journey.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Damien Oliver (Kolding): “He just went down on his nose at the start.”
Brenton Avdulla (Private Eye): “A little disappointed with the result. He travelled really well in the run and I thought he would let go better than what he did. When it all equals up, he might be better at the six or seven (furlongs).”
James McDonald (Cascadian): “He’s going so well that horse, he just needed a barrier.”
Craig Williams (Mr Brightside): “Another brave, amazing performance. They are the heavyweight champions of Australia at a mile at weight-for-age and he was very gallant in defeat today.”
Michael Dee (Dalasan): “He was there until the furlong and then just died on his run.”
Jamie Kah (Aegon): “Fantastic run. If he drew a better gate he would have been right in the finish. Really happy with him.”
Jarrod Fry (Tuvalu): “Ultra-consistent horse, he doesn’t know how to run a bad race. I’m really proud of the horse.”
John Allen (My Oberon): “Might have just raced a fraction flat, but they didn’t go very quick and it was a hard race to make ground in. He still ran super.”
Nash Rawiller (Kiss Sum): “He was gone after 100 metres. Didn’t turn up.”
Ben Melham (Sinawann): “Just pulled ferociously.”
