Winning Trainer: Chris Waller

A lot of patience involved with the horse: "There certainly is. He won the Sydney Cup then he had a setback.

"It has been a long story and a lot of friends involved in the ownership as well.

"He's a genuine two-miler and illustrated that. He ran in a Sydney Cup, he ran well in a Melbourne Cup and his run in the Sydney Cup this year was good.

"It has just been trying to find races to get fit for a Brisbane Cup so he has been from Melbourne and back and then Nash is good friends as well.

"The whole crew, it is a good story.

"Nash can pull something out, can't he."

Winning Jockey: Nash Rawiller

Connections: "We got back a fair while so this is pretty special. I've been keen to ride him a few times where he's run super races but he hasn't got my weight, so I don't now, he might make the Melbourne Cup now.

The run: "He was good. He was the best stayer and the best turned out in the race and he's got the job done. One thing is for sure it does keep the dream of the Melbourne Cup alive, doesn't it.

"It has been a while since he's won. It's not like he does it the easy way. He makes you work every bit of the two-miles. I was really happy to see him show that fight that he showed late. Full credit to the team and he's obviously a special horse to everyone."
