"Big thrill, big thrill.
"I don't train jumpers so this and the Cup are target races. I've had shocking luck in this race. I had the second favourite one year who had a temperature the night before.
"Scratched Begoodtoyamother last year. I can't thank the owners enough for giving me the opportunity.
"The horse came to be in unbelievable order. Ryan's team have done a huge job and I've been in the same position. It feels disgusting to lose a good horse like that.
"We set him for the race and a great ride by Dean.
"A big thanks to the girls who look after him. Melissa and Laura who ride all his work and Tanitha who looks after him on the ground.
"He can be a bit of a pig. A bit arrogant but he's for a motor.
Last 48 hours for him: "I'd told everyone that if it was on a soft track that I was extremely confident. I don't really talk them up too much.
"When it got heavy it was just an unknown. He'd never seen anything like it. We just had a plan to put him up in the first three or four and keep the momentum and get out to the best part of the track.
"He was the fittest horse in the yard and in great form. He just had to get through the ground.
"Dean Yendall, he's won more races than anyone here so that's why you put him on.
"You can't win races if you haven't got the stock so it is good to show everyone once again that if I've got the stock I can do the job."
Winning Jockey: Dean Yendall
"We went out with a bit of a plan that we would be on the forward side of positioning. There didn't look to be a lot of speed in the race.
"We were happy just to sit off it and travel within himself. He wasn't 100 percent happy on that heavy going. I had to grab hold of his head there and give him a bit of a gap on straightening.
"When I asked for an effort he gave me everything he had. The last little bit he started to go forward and it was getting a bit hard on this heavy stuff."
On Bowman: "He's a great fella and they do a marvelous job with the team that they have. They always throw me a bone here and there and I love to get the results when they do.
"A few seasons back I rode a winner for him as well and it was just as bad conditions out there.
"For these guys during the carnival is brilliant but one of the majors, even better."
