Winning Trainer: Mick Kent

On Josh Richards: “He’s a beauty Josh, he’s quite little and light and has a knack of letting them roll, that mare can be a little bit one paced so it was important that he used her strengths.”

“He stays nice and balanced and his left hand seems to be effective too.”

On the horse: “We think she’ll run ten furlongs (2000m) one day, I know some people had a query on her running a mile but she never stops galloping. There are options for her in Adelaide, there’s a listed 2000m race there, she’s VOBIS Gold so there’s a 1400m race on VOBIS day.”

Winning Jockey: Josh Richards

The horse’s improvement: “She just keeps stepping up, she was unlucky with a couple of runs but up to the mile she just stayed on well and controlled the race.”

On his progress: “He (Mick Kent) is very knowledgeable, he’s not very often wrong, you just take in as much advice as you can.”
