Winning Trainer: Symon Wilde

“He’s not the greatest horse in the world.

<Paused to fight back tears>

“He’s an amazing horse, he really is. To turn up as much as he has. I’m so grateful to have him”

“I think the focus has to be on the horse. What an athlete to be able to turn up year after year. He’s got an amazing constitution. The staff at home, we all love him. He comes in year-after-year. He’s almost like a pet. He’s got some constitution. He’s amazing.

“He went up to Lee Evison’s for some of his preparation. A lot of our winners have gone through Lee’s. I’ve got to give him a lot of credit because he was a little bit banged up after the Annual last year, a few little issues.

“He comes in before christmas and his preparation was faultless. His trial was great. We gave him a reminder that he need to jump the last and go on to win. He hasn’t won since the last Annual.

“Not always do the plans go right but to have this time for us, I’m just very grateful.

“The crowd at the 600 (metre mark) when these two go out. Zed Em was fantastic with the weight. But it just goes to show (up) the young ones with no weight, the whippersnappers, they’re still the kings at the moment.

“Special mention to all of the people that worked with Gold Medals. Many people have played a part in his preparation over the years.”

Winning Jockey: Clayton Douglas

“He’s just an unbelievable horse, this horse. Made a couple of mistakes early but I had him in an ordinary spot where I didn’t want to be and I was jumping a bit blind, but he’s just incredible.

“He’s one of those horses that travels so well in the run. A long way out he was still travelling. Coming to the second last (jump) I really asked him for a big deep effort over the last two.

“He went on to win the race but in saying that, Zed Em was very strong to the line as well. It’s been a great competition between the two of them and there’s not much between them.

“I’ve never ridden in the Annual without him - he’s the only horse I’ve ever ridden in the Annual. He’s an incredible horse. Massive effort by the team to get him back up. He hasn’t had a jumps run this prep and we were umming and ahhing about the Brierly.

“I wanted to run him in the Brierly and Symon said he didn’t want to wreck everything for the Annual. Terrific young trainer. He’s kicking goals. He can win with two-year-olds and win with these sorts of horses. Longevity is a massive thing.”
