It is a huge buzz. This horse had drawn a good gate. There were so many scenarios going through our heads in regard to how it was going to work out. It couldn't have worked out any better in the run, we had a dream run outside of the leader. I am over the moon. |

VEGA MAGIC |
Craig Williams |
He was awesome in defeat. Defied the track pattern and just ruing the fact we didn't draw a barrier. Awesome performance. |

BRAVE SMASH |
Jamie Spencer |
Huge run. Had a lovely run around but the winner was very impressive. |

Ran terrific. It's just hard to make up ground today. |

Tim Clark |
She ran out of her skin. We rode her quiet from the gate and she ripped home well. Tried her heart out. |

Blake Shinn |
She ran well. Hit the line strongly but didn't really handle the ground all that well. |

Jeff Lloyd |
Good effort. She received a bump early out of the barriers and weakened over the last bit but I thought it was a good effort in that company. |

Joshua Parr |
Never got in the contest. He was under pressure a long way from home. |

We had a lovely run in transit but never let down. |

Corey Brown |
Obviously disappointing. Had a great run in transit and followed the winner. Didn't give me the turn of foot she normally shows. I reckon the Moir run might have taken the edge off her. |

Travelled three wide on speed but was disappointing. |
