Winning Trainer: Phillip Stokes
Big day: "We're off to a great start, really happy for Mark and all the team here and especially Higgo too, he's unbeaten on this horse."
On the win: "He's been racing well and we just decided to push him out today and get him to the front and Higgo rated him well and got the job done."
On Brian Higgins: "He's a very good horseman, he comes down every Saturday and rides our horses and he's very underrated. He's got a full book at Yarra Valley today so now he's got to go and ride there. He got off his earlier ones to ride this horse luckily."
Winning Jockey: Brian Higgins
Unbeaten aboard: "He's ultra consistent, obviously Phil (Stokes) is going quite well and it's just good to get back on him, it's been a while since I've been on him and like I say, I've got a perfect record on him and I thought he did a terrific job today."
Led throughout: "I began quick, put the foot down for the first hundred or so and we got a breather, he had his ears pricked most of the way, I think they have have thought I'd come back to them but he actually gave me a good buildup off the turn and I knew once he did that he was going to take a bit of running down."
To the Yarra Valley: "We'll get moving and see how we go."
