Winning Trainer: Tiarrna Robertson
How is leg: "It is mending. It was an unfortunate accident but this is the positive out of the negative so it's good that we're still here."
An unexpected stay, but no doubt happy with performance: "She was super. She came through that last run really well and she appreciated the big drop in class and the break between runs. It was really good to get a win out of the trip."
Plans: "She'll have a couple of weeks in the paddock now. She'll stay here and race on/ Hopefully I'll be back in a couple of weeks."
Any chance to upskill around other trainers during stay: "I've managed to get out and see a couple of properties and meet a few people which has been good. It's been a good stay, it's been a long stay."
Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs
On repeating Hoysted win: "It was pretty much the same sort of run. She led and seems to get into a nice rhythm and gets breathing nicely. We were challenged but she always felt like she was going to fight them off. She's a horse with a bit of ability and it's great for Tiarrna after Fabergino gave her a kick in the leg. It's a special win."
On providing support to Tiarrna during her stay: "I've been going down and working her, and she's been working very well and trying to help out as much as I can. Credit has to go to Dylan who strapped the horse. He's been putting in the hard yards and doing a really good job."
Lightning a potential target: "I think so. I think she's a genuine 1000-metre horse. She had a crack at the 1200 and was right there until the last furlong. She races well, she makes her own luck, so I can't see why not have a crack."
