Winning Trainer: Matt Laurie
On the win: "Really pleased. He's a genuine little horse, he doesn't run a bad race and was really well placed against this field today so it was good to see him put them away."
The horse's preparation: "He's a horse that keeps making good solid progression, he comes into the race at the right time, he responds to pressure, he's very genuine and on paper it looked a beautiful race for him and it's great that it's come off
Interstate plans: "We've got a couple of things in mind, but this was the priority."
Winning Jockey: Ethan Brown
Winning for connections: "Everyone's very happy and emotional, I'm just grateful that they stuck with me and to get the job done on a grand final, it makes everything worthwhile."
On the horse: "He's a nice horse, not much has gone right this prep running into track bias and whatnot, but his work here was really good on Tuesday so I had a head full of confidence and he let down the way we knew he could.
