Winning Trainer: Anthony & Sam Freedman (Sam Freedman speaking)

On the price tag: “He was a high price yearling, he’s shown plenty of ability from the start. His first campaign was full of promise, we took him up to Sydney for the Golden Gift but he probably overdid it a bit in the blinkers.”

The horse’s progression: “We had to give him a short break and it was probably the best thing that’s happened to him, he’s come back a lot stronger this time in. He’s actually a full brother to Marine One who’s improved from his late two year old into his three year old season and this colt gives us the impression his next campaign will be his best.”

Toughness: “He was there to be beaten today, we still think he might be best ridden with a sit. He showed good fight, he was there to be beaten and he had a shy of the winning post at the end there.”

Winning Jockey: Brett Prebble

Tuesday’s gallop: “I knew there’d have to be a good one that would have to step up to beat him. I hadn’t really taken much notice of the field until later in the week but what I felt Tuesday morning, he gave me the feeling he was a stakes class horse.”

Horse still learning: “I think he’s going to be a better horse finding a backside and giving him one to run down. He gave a good kick but then he floated off the rail and he really needs a bunny himself. He’s going to progress through the grades, he’s already taken a big step today.”

Best part of the win: “He just oozes class. He did it with ease, and I had so much in hand. The stablemate (on Tuesday) got a bit of a belting.”
