Winning Trainer: Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman (Coleman speaking)
A special talent: “It’s incredibly special. She loves defying history, this girl and I think she’s going to continue to do it as her career progresses. She looked like she did that quite easily today, which is incredible, when you look at the horses that she was up against. She is very, very special and it means so much to our stable. A massive thank-you to everyone who has been a part of it.”
Physically improved this season: “She’s probably come back more of a finished product this time around. She’s always been a lovely horse to look at. She has developed, is bigger and stronger and hopefully we continue to see that.”
Manner of the win: “She began better today. She put herself there, travelled sweetly. It was a beautiful ride by from Luke and he had her in that position where she was going to be able to get mobile when he needed to.”
Next?: “I would say we’re still geared towards the Golden Eagle, but never make decisions on race day.”
Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen
On how good she is: “We don't know her ceiling yet, so that's the exciting part of it.
“Outwardly she doesn't stand out, even as a trackworker she doesn't stand out, but she's all racehorse.”
Was he giggling on the turn: “Yeah, I was. But I was afforded a nice draw and I could stalk the hardest to beat everywhere they went, so I ended up being the hunter and it suits this filly just fine.”
On the association with Peter Moody: “We've stuck pretty fat, like shit to a blanket, over the years.
“We’ve had a few barneys here and there, but we move on from them pretty quick.
“I'll be honest, I really suit his system and that's why I've been laced to it since I was in my early 20s.
“I’ve still got a bit of time to go yet, for this career, but we're enjoying it a lot at the minute.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Blake Shinn (Mr Brightside): “He just felt like he felt that ground, Good 3, being a nine-year-old. He just never let down like I hoped he would.”
Jamie Melham (Half Yours): “Very happy, couldn't fault him. I think he's very forward this time and I think next start you'll see and a big improvement in him. He's not needing the run next start.”
Ethan Brown (Light Infantry Man): “I think he's in good order. I couldn't really ride him to his strengths over a mile, but he got outsprinted, picked up and I thought he hit te line well.”
Craig Williams (Sir Delius): “Adrian Bott and Gai Waterhouse, the horse’s trainers have done a really good job. His best distance is when he can dominate over 18 and beyond, so they had him nice and fresh and fit enough for today. Nearly the first half of the race was lovely for us, then it changed complexion and we had no favours – we were on a limb in a sit-sprint event and it doesn't suit him – but he really powered on and he pulled up nicely. I think once he gets out to the distance that we've seen his best form that he dominates, then I'm very happy the way his first up run was.”
John Allen (Another Wil): “He ran super. A little bit of a messy race early, but we rolled forward and it was good to see him back to somewhat close to his best form.”
Mark Zahra (Autumn Boy): “Couldn’t have been happier. Followed the mayor everywhere, you know she's got a scintillating turn of foot, but he's stuck on that well for a second.
Damian Lane (Treasurethe Moment): “Disappointing today, unfortunately. She worked a little bit more than we would have liked in the run, but once I was in front she travelled very easily, but she was beaten quickly and when she was beaten, she was beaten convincingly. That's not her usual self, so we’ll have to see how she comes through the run.”
Jordan Childs (She's A Hustler): “Extremely happy with her first up assignment. Just rode her nice and quiet and she hit the line strongly and she’ll be ready for longer races in the future.”
Jason Collett (Ohope Wins): “Really good. She was at the tail, the pace didn't feel overly strong but I love to work through a line. She was the last horse to pull up too.”
