"Super excited to get another go (at the Melbourne Cup). That's what it is all about for me - getting a go.

"I came here yesterday thinking I'd run one-two. He's done plenty of work for it and I love the way he's going.

"We came through the hurdles yesterday but we might camp away next time.

"He's been an unbelievable horse all the way through. He's wanted to do things his way. I've hurdle-schooled him, steeple-schooled him, we've locked horns a few times but eventually he won and he's a happy horse now.

Towards the Melbourne Cup: "He's pretty much there. Just need to keep the weight off him. He's a horse that does well so we'll keep him ticking over. He's fit."

Winning Jockey: Celine Gaudray

"It is so surreal. Ever since I was a little girl I watched the Melbourne Cup - as does everybody else - and to get a ride is unbelievable and this horse really deserves his spot.

"The whole race I was giggling to myself. He was travelling really well and I thought at the 600 (metre mark) that I'd pop out and let him come into it.

"I had so much horse underneath me and he took me to the line."

The favourite having an 'easy' time played into favour: "Last time they strung out and he wasn't travelling as well. Today he was able to get a softer run behind them and I know if I pulled out early enough I've be able to get over the top of them."

How she'll feel towards the Melbourne Cup: "Excited!"
