Winning Trainer: Chris Waller
On the win of Siena: “I’m getting emotional for her. When she came to us, she wanted to learn. Tough is not the right word but she’s an amazing horse person. She is there every morning and is the same person every day. She is one of those real professional athletes we read about and dream about being.”
“She is the same person as when she started, she doesn’t think she is anything special and is the same girl every day. We are very proud of her and so happy for her.”
On the reaction: “We have a big team in Melbourne today and Darren Beadman is down there. He was the first person on the phone, he was in tears as he has put so much work into Siena. It is a fairytale win.’’
On God’s Window: “He found form through the winter. Sydney racing again, 52 weeks of the year, it gives you a bit of confidence if you can race consistently. His first-up run was terrific and we picked this race out after he went for his winter spell.
“We felt we would give him the one run into the Epsom and it worked.’’
Winning Jockey: Siena Grima
On the win: “I galloped him Thursday, and he just gave me the most incredible feel. I had a lovely cart out wide to the better part of the track, and he just filled me with confidence the entire way and when I went past them all I thought, I’m going to win my first Group One! And I did.”
Worried you were too far back?: “I was a little bit. He can get on the chewy and when he didn’t begin the best, I didn’t want to upset him and rev him up, so I just jumped, let him slide across. I was back with Mollie (Fitzgerald on Encap) and I thought, us girls are going to get this done.”
“Darren (Beadman) said, ‘get on your train early’. I followed Plymouth out. He gave me a beautiful cart out, and when I got into him he just kept finding.”
On her first G1 at first G1 ride: “I honestly was filled with confidence just with the horse and the confidence Darren and Chris had coming into it. They just told me to have a great time and have fun, and I can’t thank everyone that has been involved at getting me here, but just to have my first Group One win in a first ride is unreal.”
“I probably won’t be turning up to work on Monday. Just joking. I’ll be there for track work, Chris, don’t worry.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Chad Schofield (Ceolwulf): “He has gone terrific. Had a perfect run throughout following the right horses. Was on the back of Idle Flyer and later Tom Kitten but they didn’t take me anywhere. That resulted in me being held up which with the big weight wasn’t ideal. Burst through the pack and was very good.”
Adam Hyeronimus (Tom Kitten): “He has gone fantastic. We had to work into a position. He presented to win but peaked on his run.”
James McDonald (Autumn Boy): “Pretty happy with him. Just Barrier 1 was a bit of a curse. Got shuffled back at the wrong time. Didn’t get clear air so it was a forgive.”
Jason Collett (Idle Flyer): “I was disappointed with her run. She got the cover down the side but didn’t have any horse to play with.”
Zac Lloyd (Well Written): “I couldn’t fault the way she presented. Handled the day really well. First half went perfect. The run presented, if she quickened well enough she would have gotten through. Didn’t quicken as well as she did in New Zealand.”
Tim Clark (Militarize): “He didn’t have a lot of luck from his draw. Ran OK.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Attica): “He lobbed into a nice spot. When they backed the tempo off, he didn’t settle for me.Would have been better without the blinkers on. We had a try today but blinkers off next time.”
Reece Jones (Vivy Air): “She ran on well. Just got stuck behind a wall of horses.”
Winona Costin (Fully Lit): “Really good effort. Stuck to his task nicely late.”
Rachel King (Perfumist): “Very not her, the run today. Not quite sure.”
Robbie Dolan (Matcha Latte): “Got caste out three wide. A question mark at the mile and faded the last furlong. Ran a cheeky race.”
Jackson Radley (Plymouth): “He was fantastic. Had a nice soft run on the back of Ceowulf. Got a good cart into it. The winner came past us early but his last 300m was the best part of his race.”
Andrew Adkins (Declichy Boulevard): “Messy sort of run race. Didn’t get the drag up when I needed it. Luckless in the straight.”
Mollie Fitzgerald (Encap): “Just wasn’t super comfortable letting down today.”
Tyler Schiller (Mr Miller): “I thought he ran terrific. Handled himself well and executed the plan. Didn’t fire in this grade this time but in a couple more runs he will be fantastic.”

Points Of Interest
- No horse has done the Epsom/Caulfield Cup double in same year.
- Epsom/Cox Plate double (4) – Nightmarch (1929), Chatham (1932), Noholme (1959), Winx (2015).
- Epsom/Doncaster (season) double – Dundee, Marvel, Chatham, Gunsynd, Super Impose, Winx, Happy Clapper.
- Marvel carried 64.5kg to win in 1891.
- Last true outsider to win was Final Fantasy when winning when the race was 1400m on the Kensington track at 50-1.
- One of the most famous winners was Shannon. He won in 1945 and then in 1946 under 9 stone 9, Shannon missed the start and did not move until the field travelled some distance. In the end he only just missed Blue Legend into second. It is said the starter failed to notice Shannon was not ready.
- Hartnell broke the famous Randwick mile track record winning the 2018 Epsom.
- Wide barriers are no hindrance with 12 of the last 20 being double figure draws.
- Private Eye did what Kolding did in winning the Queensland Guineas/Epsom double and attempted the same treble of the Golden Eagle as well but came 8th.
- For only the third time in the race’s history, there was a dead heat in the 2022 Epsom and it took over ten minutes to decide the photo between Top Ranked and Ellsberg.
- Rediener held on in 2023 giving Kathy O’Hara her 3rd G1. It was historic as Rachel King would win The Metrop a race later making it the first time female jockeys had won multiple G1s on the same card in Australia.
- Joe Pride had to decide between the Epsom and Metrop for Ceolwulf but went to the mile and he was easily.
- Autumn Glow was scratched on the morning of the previous year’s Flight Stakes when a short favourite but finally got her G1 in great style in 2025.
