Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace (David Speaking)
Galloped last Sunday at Sandown with Ashrun: "It was good for both horses. Ashrun ran super from the back as well but I thought Craig controlled the race really well.
"We were quite confident going into it. He had drawn well to at least 'possie' up and we were comfortable in him leading if no other horse was keen to do so. He just got the fractions up and was spot on."
Towards Melbourne Cup: "He'll probably go straight in. He's been in work a long time, this horse."
"A couple of people to thank. Nick Bell (in UK), a very good friend of mine and son of Michael Bell, who put the owner Peter Trainor into the stable. He's in London and he's Irish and I spoke to him this morning and he said that he hadn't slept for two days. I should think he won't sleep for a week now.
"He's a fierce racing fan racing horses in the UK and he has branched out sending these horses to us.
"He's been patient because the horse took a while to come up and his patience is being rewarded."
Winning Jockey: Craig Williams
On the gallop: "It gave me confidence. Confidence that I had a fit horse. The horse galloped really well and I got an understanding of his mannerisms.
"He is such a lovely, relaxed horse to lead up and gallop. When I forced him to run down the hill at Sandown I had to make him do it and if Ashrun was able to get to him he would be able to hold it.
"He did that at Moonee Valley two starts ago and it was plain to see here. First Immortal, really progressive, challenged him and he kept laying down the gauntlet.
"He's a deserved winner of the golden ticket into the Melbourne Cup and he was dominant today."
