"Certainly was impressed. I'm really blessed that Shea puts me on his horses at the right times and we seem to have struck a nice combination together.
"I've been watching this horse go around and he's been a bit unlucky. Today, everything fell into place. Unfortunately Craig's (Williams) up at the Gold Coast so that's how I came about getting the ride so very fortunate for me."
