What a tough performance by the @nryanracing-trained stayer @jamieleemott pic.twitter.com/w25ekRqobg
Winning Trainer: Nick Ryan
Is this his best week of training: "It's up there. It's hard to top Perth, obviously, with Ollie and Munhamek, but to be here on Cox Plate Day and successful and active on one of the biggest days and getting a group two win with a lovely colt heading towards a Derby, it's pretty good.
"He had a really good gallop here Tuesday. I had to do a bit more with him Thursday. He'd come through that so well.
"I actually rode him myself this morning. I had to give him a little whirl around because he's so well.
"So that's what I mean by saying I think today's, or last week, as unfortunate as it was, it could be a blessing in disguise. Seven-day backup. Today's the perfect gallop for next week.
"They had the chance to beat him then. He's tough. He's a good colt.
Heading to Flemington can help: "His record at Flemington of winning or a second or third, and the beauty is, he just has to walk over the road. It's his home deck and we love playing on our home deck.
"Just exciting."
Still in the Cup noms:"We'll get over the Vase today first. But he's still in there. It wasn't much to pay up the other day, I suppose. You can keep the dream alive."
Winning Jockey: Jamie Mott
"We've always been confident in his staying ability, and look at him, he's a magnificent animal. Last week at Caulfield, he was really up and about, and I struggled to hold him down in the barriers, and he ended up kicking out, which was unfortunate.
"Lucky enough, he didn't hurt himself today. He went to the barriers like an old pony, so I knew he was in a better spot today and he needed the run because halfway he got travelling a little keen throughout which he's never done before.
"Obviously he missed a run last week, so he was fresh and it was a good go for next week.
On the Derby:"I am very confident. I think it's his year for sure."
