Winning Trainer: Peter Moody (Anthony Mithen speaking)

Victorian Alliance group ownership: "It's great that we've been able to pull the partners together that we have. We have outstanding success in Victoria and to have had success with Brereton before Christmas and to get Hafey into the Blue Diamond, to now get a stakes race with two weeks to the Golden Slipper, I dare not say that!

"You've got to live the dream and thankfully our team is seeing them really well."

Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen

"He's made good progression. He's got good quality now. He's been tradesman like at home but with a big fat jockey in me on his back his jump outs didn't look as scintillating as it felt like to me but I was really happy with how he got into position with things and he showed realy quality there.

"He's a nice horse with a deep pedigree."

1200m next: "I think so. I'm not sure where he gets to in the scheme of things distance-wise but the camp will no doubt position him where he'll be effective."

Recovery from Wednesday's incident: "I was fortunate that I was wearing a helmet and a vest at the time. (The horse) collecte the left side of my head and my left shoulder so we got out of it pretty good.

"That's in the rear vision mirror now and we look forward to the next chapter."
