Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (Adrian Bott comments)
On the winner: “He is a nice value purchase by RedFox. Full credit to them, they continue to buy these nice horses that perform on the big stage.”
“Of all our two-year-olds coming here today, he has been the most natural all the way through. He has been thriving every single day of his preparation and we didn’t have an excuse not to bring him here today.”
On his traits: “You saw his attitude, he’s very determined, his ears went back and he was in for the fight. He has done it all very easily through the campaign and you saw today when he was challenged he found another length.”
“The path has always been for our two-year-olds to get here today, that is a big job in itself, and he will go for a spell now. He’s a horse we can bring back early in the New Year, resume here in Sydney, then we can go to the Blue Diamond and then target the Golden Slipper.”
Winning Jockey: Regan Bayliss
On the winner: “Bone and muscle. He’s a streetfighter. I knew if I could find the front today, nothing would get past him. They’d come to him, but he’s just pin his ears back and go right through the line.”
“Adrian and Gai and the stable have done a terrific job of just ticking him over and keeping his mind in the right place.”
On the manner of the win: “I came off the fence, it’s not ideal on a two-year-old. You lose your advantage coming off and being out there, but to his credit, once he straightened up and I switched the stick over, he really quickened well and his last hundred was the best part of his race.”
Beaten Jockeys:
Zac Lloyd (Capitano): “He is a 2yo. He is sharp. I think he will progress on. He has a great attitude. Will get stronger. A little weak that last 100m. Great run.”
Winona Costin (Chasing Archer): “Had to do a bit of work early. He stuck to task well early. Will improve heaps from that.”
Chad Schofield (Comino): “Didn’t take part.”
Molly Bourke (Lead The Charge): “That is a starting point. He is obviously going to get further in time.”
Braith Nock (Lucky Eighteen): “Began well. Struggled to stay in it from the 800m but I think he will be a next prep horse.”
Jason Collett (Nonu): “Ran great.”
Adam Hyeronimus (Stasis): “Nice horse. Still immature.”
