Winning Trainer: Chris Waller

On the ride: "It was an awkward barrier but he just slid across and it wasn't a lot of speed. He was too strong late.

On the horse: "She's always had a good win in her but she's been a bit frustrating of late but a big payday today so well deserved."

Race has been good to the stable: "It has been a good race to us. Invincabella won this race three times. It is just a great raceday and it gives a lot of horses the chance to win massive prizemoney.

"We've seen over the last few days how big Magic Millions is and every owner wants a piece of it."

Winning Jockey: James McDonald

"She executed lovely today. Bounced well, put herself in a good spot and soldiered it out well. Good effort."

"The track is getting quicker and quicker and has raced pretty well today, I reckon."
