Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher

"It was just like a barrier trial, really. I thought he was a bit sleepy out of the gates. Wobble at the turn and was very good late.

"It was a nice positive ride by Browny. Great job by the team. Nathan Bennett and Bennett Syndications have a lot of horses in our stable and they're all quite nice.

"This colt is very well bred and he's got a bright future so hopefully that's the next one.

Magic Millions possible: "He could. He definitely could. Magic Millions is hard to pass up and he is progressive. Nice options to have."

Winning Jockey: Ethan Brown

"Riding a Cup day winner: "It's a great feeling. I was on a horse who was presented very well. He took a lot of improvement from his first up run, raced like an ultimate professional today, and had a good look at the crowd. He won with quite a bit of authority then. Gonna make a lovely three-year-old."

Professional: "He probably hit the front a bit soon, but I just had to use him just to get out in clear running. He's very responsive, he had a good look at the crowd, and he won with a bit in hand."

"He was just very green his first-up run, and it's a sign of a good horse. He's taken the right improvement. You can see he's pulled up so well, Nathan Bennett and the team, Ciaron Maher, they've got a nice horse on their hands."

"Ciaron assured me he'd taken a lot of improvement and he was dead right. I saw Mark (Zahra on Carnevale) outside of me wasn't going as good as he would so I took that opportunity to take the gap and he accelerated."
