On the win: “Sharp Response came at me fast and I didn’t want to rush my guy, he’s inexperienced down the straight and I just wanted to take my time and help him as much as I could. Thankfully he was able to make good ground over the final stages.

He’s a talented horse , today took a little bit out of him as he got very warm pre-race but that only makes the win better.

On younger brother Logan winning earlier: “Proud moment for sure, he did a great job, he gave the horse a nice smooth ride and the horse rewarded him. It’s great to be able to get a win on your first day at Flemington
