Winning Time: 57.75 Last 600m: n/a

Margins: 1/2L x 1L

Winning Trainer: Anthony & Sam Freedman (Sam interviewed)

Brilliant debut: “It was a very good performance. He began a little bit better than we thought and we didn’t have much of a plan going into it, but he put up a really good performance. He was challenged from all sides and showed really good fight in the last 100 (metres) and showed the 1100 and 1200 will be right in his wheelhouse.”

Tongue tie and ear muffs on: “He plays around with his tongue a little bit and to avoid that getting over the bit we’ve had that on him for a little while and the earmuffs, we put them on a few youngsters for their debuts to keep them nice and calm. He’s been pretty straight forward and we’ve been able to control him nicely and he seemed to race that way.”

Further forward than expected: “He was, but it was a very small field. He’s going to meet a bigger field in the Prelude and we would anticipate him to be a pair further back. He relaxes well in his races and he should have no problem getting out in trip.”

On Philosopher: “They just poured some pressure on and that might have softened him up a bit late. He’s only been beaten a length so he’s not far off and you would think this is a very good form reference going forward. The first three across the line look like quality colts.”

Winning Jockey: Damian Lane

Good feeling on way to barrier: “He’s a lovely colt. He’s taken really good improvement this preparation and taking it all in his stride. He was really field shy in his first preparation and he’s improved a lot in his second and improved again into today. He took it all in his stride behind the barriers, remained really calm and is one of those horses that is doing everything right at the right time and should progress again.”

The start: “He jumped quick in his last jump-out and we were keen to get him in behind horses and teach him that way of racing. Today, race day, I was able to use that bit of speed and landed in the perfect spot really. He got challenged there at the 200-250 metres, from home, but he dug deep when it counted.”

One to stick with: “He’s a nice horse going the right way.”
