“More happy to share it than get rolled. Also good to share it with a good friend in Billy. We’ve been mates for the whole way through so it’s good to share it with someone you’re close with, I guess.

“I thought he was going enough and Defibrillate just came at me really aggressively over the final few strides. It was obviously too close to know whether there’d be a margin or not. But my guy has been unlucky with drawing bad barriers so it’s good to get some luck here today.”
