Winning Trainer: Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young (Trent speaking)
Great result for Seymour Bloodstock and Darren Thomas: "I think he (Darren Thomas) is in Omaha Nebraska. I don't even know where that is.
"The horse has been going alright, but his runs at the races had been just, with maybe some excuses. I've kept on saying he is a good horse. He got beaten in this race last year and he's got a spot in the Caulfield Cup now. He's got no weight, and he won that well, so it's onwards and upwards. It's good to see him back in form."
Improvement in past 12 months: "He was going better last spring and he went bad in the autumn. He box-seated in last year's run and he box-seated today. I told the owners that if he didn't run well today, we were in trouble because I couldn't find why he wasn't going super. He's bounced back today, so we're pretty happy."
$20,000 going to Very Special Kids: "Racing does a lot for a lot of people, a lot of communities, so I guess it's always good to be on board. We're rapt."
See you Cup Day: "Hope so."
Winning Jockey: John Allen
On the way he felt: "It was a very good win, but he didn't give me an easy time. He was on the steel the whole way and always travelling well, maybe a little too much in the run. Jeez, he was travelling around the corner and when he got the gap let down good. Trent and Natalie have got him back on track.
What can get him to settle and run 2400m: "He ran the trip out good today. Maybe he goes better when he's like that. Going that way, out to 2400 metres, you would like to see him relax a little bit better, but it didn't worry him today."
