An incredibly special result for Tetyana Furdetska on Melbourne Cup Day pic.twitter.com/3Dad6wD7Zw
Winning Trainer: Tetyana Furdestka
"I can't believe I'm here at Flemington. I dream about Flemington all my life.
"One of my other horses, he bowed a tendon, and he was supposed to be going to the Melbourne Cup - the next race. Next year"
On the horse: "She's fit. Rock fit and I believe this was the right race for her.
"When she came back (into work) she came back a lot stronger, and mentally. I knew she was right for this race.
WIll she get further: "I believe so. Why not. We'll try."
Winning Jockey: Daniel Stackhouse
"This horse was lightly raced. She (Tetyana) said to me to just not go inside other horses and there I was three-back the fence with two horses outside of me.
"The tempo was lovely and he got into a beautiful rhythm.
"At the top of the straight it opened up beautifully for us.
"He kicked strongly and kept working. The more he got into the race the better he was.
"For Tetyana, coming for tough times overseas, it is fantastic.
"This was my first time on the horse but I looked at the replays and he's a horse with potential but is still working things out.
"It is amazing to win a race on Melbourne Cup Day."
