Winning Trainer: Tony & Calvin McEvoy (Calvin speaking)

Close call: I don’t want to watch that again, he always jumpa average but I didn’t think he’d be that far off them. Terrific job by John and Ann McDonnell who own and bred this horse, they’ve been very patient and I’m sure they’ll be having a great day.

The horse: This horse had some soundness issues early in his career but again, his owners allowed us to give the horse time. We’ll probably back off him now - he’s been up a long time now, it’s a great thank you to the team at home - they’ve done a great job with him, they’ve been working very hard and presented him well today.

Winning Jockey: Madison Lloyd

Were you worried: It was a stressful ride. We thought at the mile he’d be closer to them and not off the bridle like that, he’s never been off the bridle like that before butI couldn’t believe when I gave him a squeeze at the corner he let down like a good horse.

The start: He jumped with them but the rest of the field they just went flat out early and he couldn’t keep up with them.

The McEvoy connection: I’m just so thankful for the opportunities and what they do for me, I can’t thank them enough.
