Winning Trainer: Enver Jusufovic
On watching a race in which he had 3 runners "It was difficult. I haven't really seen Hello Broadcast, I'm not sure where he finished, I hope he hit the line, but I really cheered on Blood Oath most of the way and then I could see at the 500 that Vongole was getting on his bike.
On Vongole winning: "He just excels at this track and he freshened up really nice, so it was pleasing."
"I had a runner in the All-Star Mile last year, I'm here on the same day but in the reserves, but that's OK."
On Blood Oath's run: "Fantastic. He's a lovely horse, he tries really hard, he's going to be well-found as a Garrowen show horse.
"He likes the track, it's been well-prepared and he's only just got beaten, hasn't he?"
Winning Jockey: Carleen Hefel
On Vongole's liking for Moonee Valley: "He really loves it here. Being a backmarker you wouldn't think it'd be his track, but he's just got it worked out and as soon he corners for home he lets go with a really good turn of foot."
On her thoughts going into the race given the windy conditions: "I was a bit worried today. Obviously the first horse led and won, but with the wind, I thought the main thing today was it would be nice to get a bit of cover down the side and have something tow you in. It shows that the track's pretty fair today."
