On the Call: “Darren Flindell’s call was amazing. I watching it inside on the TV and there is a bit of a delay, a four or five seconds delay and Darren had me a bit concerned when they turned for home. Darren said there’s a challenge here and it sort of sounded as though she was under pressure. I thought she was travelling alright.”
Leading - did you discuss with JMac: “We did and he said we might end up in front and Nash (Rawiller, Gringotts) might be there. We will just play it as it comes, nothing too serious, just settling the nerves really.”
“But it was good to watch and showed how versatile she is, like she can put herself there or can go back, she just has a great turn of foot. I know she was the short priced favourite but the horses in this race are all handy horses. There was a sprint from the 500m when it got serious so it was good to see her lift and draw clear in the end.
On her condition: “I’m pretty happy where she is at. There is some improvement to come, we haven’t screwed her down yet. “We will just look after her and she will do the rest.”
On the Everest: “I’m happy and comfortable with the decision (to go to the King Charles III Stakes). I don’t have second thoughts, once we make a decision as a group, the ownership, jockey, my team, we run with it. It hope it is a great contest and if something beats Ka Ying Rising good luck to them.”
On Aeliana: “That was just as satisfying, if not more satisfying. There was nothing wrong with her first up run, Nash got off her last start and said she is going treat. The way the race was run, she just couldn’t get into it. It was good to see her acquit herself well today. If she had run third or fourth I would have said good run but to see her push through the last 50m was great.”
Winning Jockey: James McDonald
On the tactics: “Three quarter pace around then dash home. They came to me, let her balance up and she went away with it. She did what we needed her to do today. She had fun doing it. Ears pricked the whole way. You probably could say they got to her at the top of the straight.”
On planning to lead: “Not really. I’d have been happy in the three positions, first, second or third. Once I got control, she just did it herself. When they came at her, got to remember second up, Aeliana ran her to a head. She will jump out of the ground third up.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Chad Schofield (Ceolwulf): “He has run well. She just had a picnic in front. Tried to make a race of it a bit early. He has run really well.”
Nash Rawiller (Gringotts): “He was super. I thought I had the great mare in trouble there topping the rise. She is a different beast.”
Jason Collett (Aeliana): “Great work late. Happy with that.”
Zac Lloyd (Idle Flyer): “Fantastic. Two weeks ago that wasn’t her. Good to see her back and competing with the best.”
