Winning Trainer: Tony & Calvin McEvoy (Calvin speaking)
“He hasn’t gone backwards since that win at Ballarat. He’s just trained on well and we came here pretty confident. It was a big step up but it is an opinion of the horse we’ve had for a long time.
“Thank you to the owners. A good ownership group. He’s really living up to what we’ve thought of him and he deserves to go up in grade.
What’s next: “We’re going to consider the Sires in Adelaide. I comes up nicely on 8 May. If we could get him back home, on the farm on the river. He doesn’t have to be trained for that, he’ll stay at 1400 metres and it looks a nice race. If he bounces through this then that’s where we’ll go. If he feels it and needs a break he’ll go to the paddock.”
Winning Jockey: Luke Currie
“He’s a really nice horse. Every time I’ve ridden him he’s been really good. He was good in Adelaide (but) he just got it a bit wrong there. All his runs have been really good, even all of his unbeaten runs. He’s a horse on the way up.
“To fight like that (at Ballarat), and I rode him the start before at Sandown, I thought today he could measure up, for sure.
“I think he’s that type of horse going forward. I think he’s going to be better when he gets out to the mile. He’s doing it the right way.”
