“I’m absolutely thrilled. I’d just like to thank Mr O’Shea and his team, and my new manager, Liam Prior. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be on this horse today and I’m thrilled to finally get that first metro winner.”

On the photo after a number of close finishes and missing out in town: “I was thinking the worst. I was absolutely thrilled to see my horse on the big screen.

“I think I just had to keep working hard, and keep working harder, and wake up the next day and keep going. I knew that it was just a matter of time and I’m pleased I got the winner today.”
