Winning Trainer: James Cummings
“They’re emerging sprinters with ratings that are nicely in in a handicap sprint like this.
“Blake Shinn is riding beautifully. He had the draw, drew 7 and Jamie Kah drew 14 on Zethus but our third placegetter was just as big a run three deep outside the lead and both jockeys executed as well as they could from the draws.
“Hopefully they just keep rising. There’s a sprint race at Flemington in Cup Week which is perfect for them. I just really love the way they’re both doing.
“Had Gravina not bumped into horses like I Wish I Win, beaten a head in the Testa Rossa so his run was very good that day and he was aided by a brave ride by Blake from that draw.
“As Domenic Beirne said to me to relay to Blake, ‘if you take your chance you might get a really good run here’.
“When he was one-out-one-back unfortunately Zethus just had to cover that ground but at least she was only three-deep outside of the lead and no more than three-deep on the turn and was rewarded with a third placed effort..
Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn
<Stat from Channel 7 - last treble at Caulfield for Blake Shinn - 6 years ago on Caulfield Cup Day>
“It’s a while ago and we only look forward to a challenge so its nice to be here today.
Important at his early stage of being back in Melbourne: “Very important. I’ve been here around a month now and I’ve been working really hard as all the jockeys are doing.
“My manager, Liam Prior, I pay credit to him and hopefully we’ve set a good platform. It is an important day and thankfully my horses have turned up, I’ve turned up with nice rides and everything has fallen into place.”
The run - went through tight gaps: “I had the horse to do it. A needleye opening appeared and if you’ve got the horse and a run like that appears, you can generally force your way through and he was going good enough.
“I had to shoulder my way through and the rest is history. He presented well today and it is great to wear these colours. I don’t think they’ll be taking this one away from us.”
