On the race and his team: “What a race, I loved the spectacle. I really love staying horses, we’re lucky enough to have the set up (we’ve got), we’ve got a fantastic team and we’re able to showcase our wonderful staff at this meeting, that’s the best part about it.
“A big part of it is Liam Hoy, he’s done a terrific job. He organises everything, I’m very unorganised, he does all the organising and all our plans have come to fruition. Sometimes in racing these happen and I feel very lucky.”
On the crowd engagement: “Have you ever heard a roar from a crowd? It was like the football or something. It was just magnificent. Just the theatre of that was wonderful.
On the two horses: “We bought Vanguard to target this carnival, some stable clients jumped in, and Britannicus was a second-hand horse who is having a great career. We’ve got every inch out of him and he’s doing a terrific job.
“Everyone’s having a lot of fun and I’m just so pleased with how it’s worked out.”
Winning Jockey: Will Gordon
On the race: “Coming to the second-last I thought ‘I’ve got him’. My lad jumped the last OK but he was just a little bit slowly away and the other horse zipped away from me and I thought, ‘we’re going to run a nice second here’, but he really dug in that last bit.
“He’s a horse on the rise. Coming down that hill when I gave him a squeeze he came alive.
On battling it out with Arron Lynch: “It was a great battle. We’re both punching around on the flat too, we’re pretty good mates too, so it was good going toe-to-toe with Lynchy, one of the good guys of racing as well.
“It was a pretty storring finish, but my lad was just the better stayer.”
