Winning Trainer: Peter Moody (Stable rep Katherine Coleman interviewed)
"It is so satisfying to see him do that today because he is a horse that has always shown us so much ability at home and he's still been learning every time he has been coming to the races and it is so satisfying to see him do that today."
Moody's mood this week: "He's actually been super. He's been in a really good mood all week. There hasn't been any tantrums. He's been great."
Winning Jockey: Blaike McDougall
"The support since I've come down here in the last seven weeks has been overwhelming. Especially from this man here today, Peter Moody.
"He's an opportunist, quite like myself, so I'm just very thankful."
How the association started: "We approached him on our move down and he didn't give us much but as far as I know Deane Lester put in a good word for us because Luke Nolen rides quite heavy and he struggles with weight at the moment.
"We were after lightweight opportunities and Deane vouched for us and kickstarted it."
On the horse: "It didn't feel like we went a gallop. He's a fast horse. Just when I let All Banter go they steadied there - not much but enough for him to half want to overdo it but he's a classy horse.
"Everyone has a high opinion of him. To do that today so easily, when we hit the front he half clocked off so they haven't got to the bottom of him yet."
