I am happy and I am excited. I targeted this horse as the best horse in the stable and being able to win first-up so softly after 45 weeks, shows just how good he is. From Hong Kong, he's the one I've been waiting to train and I'm certainly not disappointed with what he's showing us.

It's nice to be out because compared to what it was like there, it's like a five-star hotel here.

She's a superstar. I'd be running her in the Melbourne Cup but I hope she doesn't.

I distinctly remember him saying, 'Do you kids want to ride over to Tulsa with me?' ... And we all piled in the Winnie Mae and went to Tulsa and back.

I'm surprised to see him doing so well.

This was a different time, ... This is something you wouldn't do nowadays. They would be thinking about insurance and people getting hurt - all the things we didn't think about in those days. We didn't lock our doors half the time.

There is a weakness in the system somewhere.

That wasn't his right track today with the soft conditions around Mooney Valley and I was happy with his run.
