Winning Trainer: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young (Trent Busuttin speaking)
“She’s gone up to that level where she’s been racing against the Group 1 mares. It’s tough. She’s run consistently throughout the year and been two or three lengths off them. She hasn’t had things go her way and she had them go her way today.
“Nash, he’s the king.”
Since last start: “She had a little operation - she had an entrapped epiglottis. She wasn’t bad at the mile but she didn’t quite see it out. 1400 metres is her go so we freshened her up and there wasn’t a lot left, and this was it.
“She’s Group 3, maybe Group 2 but it would be great to get that Group 1. Very hard. We might sneak her up to Newcastle in ten days for The Gong.”
Winning Jockey: Nash Rawiller
“Good win and I’m getting good support from Trent this week. You could tell that he as a little bit nervous before this race.”
On the Cup: “What an exciting race to watch. The best mare in Australia for the last two seasons. Incentivise has taken all before him. It was a really magic race, I thought, to watch and I hope I’m fighting out the finish next year.”
