Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr (Mick Price comments)

On expectations: “Well I’ve watched a lot of good 2yos and I was hoping. I must say I was a bit concerned when the sectionals came up and he was breaking 11 (seconds). I did think to myself in all those races where they break 11, their query is whether they finish off. But I thought he was still brilliant on the day.”

On how good he is: “He’s just gotta win the Slipper doesn’t he? You’ve gotta win a Slipper. I think it would be very difficult with what we’ve done with him to take him back to Melbourne for the Blue Diamond that is two weeks. It would then be four weeks to the Slipper. You’ve got your horse up here, more or less set for today.”

“It was worth $2m, how could you not. But I have a bit of a concern in the back of my head to take him back to Melbourne then back here how much horse you are using. Probably have to have a pick between the two races I would think. If I had to have a pick it would be the Golden Slipper.”

On the lead up: “These 2yos don’t hold up forever. You can’t ask them to go and go and you don’t know how much petrol is in the tank after today but you saw the horse and how brilliant he was.”

Winning Jockey: Hugh Bowman

On the win: “It’s great to see him do it, I must admit. Although I wouldn’t say it earlier I had a feeling he would do that but you can never really be too confident because horse racing is horse racing.

“But I’ve ridden him a couple of times since he’s been in Sydney. You only had to look at him prior to the race, he looked extremely healthy and well and comfortable.

“He can only improve on that too I think. ”

On the horse: “If anything I think I’d like him to harness that energy a little bit more mid race, especially as he steps up against one, better horses and two, a little bit further.

“But I think on what we saw today the world is his oyster as far as two year old racing goes and he’s probably the benchmark this season so far. ”

In comparison to Farnan: “I hope I don’t get booked for speeding today, I would’ve thought he was going very fast in the middle stages and even before the 600m mark in the middle stages he wanted to go with me.

“He’s just got that natural athleticism that good two year olds possess. By a great sire in Capitalist who was a champion two year old himself of course, he just brings it all to the table.

“He’s certainly got an exciting six months ahead of him.”

Beaten Jockeys:

Rachel King (Pegasi): “Massive run. Just a bit green this way first time but will take a lot of improvement.”

Ryan Maloney (Keefy): “Copped a bad bit of buffeting and never regained composure.”

Nash Rawiller (Baranof): “He’s a really nice horse. A hard run 1200m or seven furlong race is more up his alley.”

Andrew Banks (Mandalong Cash): “Good run. Just didn’t handle the going. Expect a better showing on top of the ground.”

Tommy Berry (Ashema): “Little bit disappointing.”

Jason Collett (Mystic Gem): “Copped a bit of interference early but just plateaued out last 100m.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Nice For What): “Good run. Had to go back from the draw and made up many lengths in the straight.”

Tim Clark (Jessica Rabbit): “She raced very flat today.”

Kathy O'Hara (Hi Hi Hi): “Nice run. She got a long way back from the draw but really got to the line well late.”

Sam Clipperton (Paper Daisy): “Ran really well. She is a nice filly., 3yo filly for the future. Will improve a lot off that effort.”

Tom Sherry (Festival Dancer): “Ran ok. She is going to be nicer when she fills out a bit more.”

Robbie Dolan (Mistaken Identity): “She ran really well. She is going to be a filly who is going to get over further. Good run today.”

Brenton Avdulla (Arthur Francis): “He went awesome. Took a bit of work to find his spot. He had a good run throughout. He’ll be a really nice horse next prep.”

Jay Ford (Rivabrook): “Nice enough horse. Came off the bridle a long way in these conditions. Struggled from that point on.”
