Winning Trainer: Anthony & Sam Freedman (Pinecliff racing manager Rod Douglas speaking)

On Agreeable a horse: "You knew she was fit and she doesn't get fat, she's one of those lean type of fillies, and it's good to see her win."

Paying tribute to Anthony Freedman's mother Del: "The Freedmans have had a bit of devastation this week with Anthony and boys' mum passing away yesterday, so it's a bit of a sombre time for them but hopefully this puts a cheer on their face."

On the future: "She'll push on and hopefully she gets Black Type at some stage."

Winning Jockey: Matthew Cartwright

On the win: "It was a good win. It was a little bit tricky coming into the straight, I just had to wait and bide my time, but once I got the gap she let down well.

"She's probably not as effective on the wet track as she is a firmer deck but her class prevailed today."

Further detailing the difficult spot he was in on the turn: "I just had a few horses come around me and I had a few horses in front of me that weren't going to take me into the race, so I just had to wait, but I got the run, she let down well and she'll improve a lot out of it (fitness-wise) as well."
