bit broke hands home
We broke well. They went a bit quick, but 600 meters out I was in no doubt. We went home hands and heels.
bryan expected good home horse improve nice run worked
When Bryan said how the horse had worked at home, I expected a good run from him. He is a very nice horse and he will improve again.
teams
We've got two different teams here. It's like this every year.
milton played time tony
Every time we'd get it to three-or-four, Milton always had an answer. Tony played well. He just made the shots.
deserves fought gets head horse john lose neither nice result
It's nice really to get a result like that because neither horse deserves to lose when it gets that close. John went a head up on me but my horse fought back.
contagious fourth gets guy happened helped hits seems
I really don?t know what happened in the fourth quarter. It seems once one guy hits a shot, it gets contagious and that helped in the fourth quarter.
court fans feeling gone good kids nice storm tough trip
These kids have gone through some tough times, so it?s nice to see them have a good feeling from basketball. It was nice to see the fans make the trip and storm the court after the game.
believe david delighted describe england friend good great hard horse means mine moved pleased race run sad straight training win year
That was brilliant, great for the horse and I'm really pleased for David Loder. When I moved back to England this year he was the first person to put me up straight away. It's hard to describe what it means - it's more than just racing, it's friendship. David has been a good friend of mine and it is sad to see him end his training career. I am delighted to have done this for him. I didn't really believe I could win the race and I thought he would run really well to be placed.
