Look, I think 26 00:01:23,987 --> 00:01:27,307 Speaker 4: you summed up pretty well exactly what you said. Look, 27 00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:30,027 Speaker 4: she did. You sort of hope they wouldn't like that, 28 00:01:30,187 --> 00:01:33,907 Speaker 4: but you don't expect it. But look, in the end 29 00:01:33,987 --> 00:01:35,667 Speaker 4: she was dominant, and you're right, she was a bit 30 00:01:35,747 --> 00:01:37,747 Speaker 4: tight for room, bit crowded, but you know when she 31 00:01:37,867 --> 00:01:41,867 Speaker 4: got through, she she just was a devastating turner foot 32 00:01:41,907 --> 00:01:44,187 Speaker 4: and very very exciting to see. 33 00:01:44,667 --> 00:01:47,427 Speaker 2: How confident were you heading into this race? 34 00:01:48,587 --> 00:01:52,147 Speaker 4: Oh, look, very very confident. I thought Actually her last 35 00:01:52,667 --> 00:01:55,627 Speaker 4: she was a little bit vulnerable. She's sort of in 36 00:01:55,827 --> 00:01:58,107 Speaker 4: need of a run. She had a heap of improvement, 37 00:01:58,147 --> 00:02:01,947 Speaker 4: so I thought she could win. Two starts back, i'd 38 00:02:01,987 --> 00:02:04,147 Speaker 4: be struggling to be to you know, sort of again, 39 00:02:04,347 --> 00:02:08,107 Speaker 4: very next couple after that, and we were very confident. 40 00:02:08,187 --> 00:02:10,467 Speaker 4: But look, you don't expect, well, you don't see horses 41 00:02:10,467 --> 00:02:12,347 Speaker 4: when not that often. I guess it's the big thing, 42 00:02:13,227 --> 00:02:18,227 Speaker 4: but it was. Look, it was very very pleasing and excited. 43 00:02:18,387 --> 00:02:19,027 Speaker 4: I bet it was. 44 00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:23,227 Speaker 2: I bet it wasn't seen the footage. It just looks incredible. 45 00:02:23,747 --> 00:02:26,747 Speaker 2: You've trained a lot of horses. What makes her so good? 46 00:02:28,427 --> 00:02:31,587 Speaker 4: Well, she's just got an electric turn of foot. You know, 47 00:02:31,747 --> 00:02:35,867 Speaker 4: her sprint is phenomenal. Like you see you see yesterday, 48 00:02:35,987 --> 00:02:38,227 Speaker 4: Like for one part of it, she's in a bit 49 00:02:38,227 --> 00:02:40,867 Speaker 4: of a tight gap and you're worried that she's going 50 00:02:40,947 --> 00:02:43,467 Speaker 4: to get through and win. Next thing, she's got two 51 00:02:43,547 --> 00:02:46,667 Speaker 4: or three links. She's sprinted two or three links in 52 00:02:46,747 --> 00:02:49,667 Speaker 4: front of them. She's got good tactical speed, she can 53 00:02:49,707 --> 00:02:53,547 Speaker 4: get herself out of tight situations and looks she's just 54 00:02:53,587 --> 00:02:56,227 Speaker 4: got such a good temperament. She just loves the game. 55 00:02:56,387 --> 00:03:00,707 Speaker 4: She's quiet, she's the ultimate race source. Basically, you need 56 00:03:00,787 --> 00:03:01,267 Speaker 4: more of them. 57 00:03:01,667 --> 00:03:06,507 Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, well great that you've uncovered, well written, she 58 00:03:06,667 --> 00:03:08,707 Speaker 2: got improvement in her. 59 00:03:09,747 --> 00:03:14,467 Speaker 4: Wow, look they always improved a little bit more times. 60 00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:17,187 Speaker 4: I don't know she's got improven in her, but she 61 00:03:17,347 --> 00:03:20,427 Speaker 4: does with a better watch out. But yeah, look she'll 62 00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,067 Speaker 4: just keep getting better and better. I mean, as a 63 00:03:22,107 --> 00:03:25,787 Speaker 4: four year old she should be physically better again. But 64 00:03:26,627 --> 00:03:28,547 Speaker 4: now what she's doing at the moment's pretty phenomenal. 65 00:03:29,027 --> 00:03:31,347 Speaker 2: Can you confirm that she won't race again now until 66 00:03:31,387 --> 00:03:34,987 Speaker 2: the ented b key We in early March at ellis Lee, 67 00:03:35,067 --> 00:03:36,547 Speaker 2: will that she won't race again till. 68 00:03:36,387 --> 00:03:40,187 Speaker 4: Then, No, she won't race till then. Look, she may 69 00:03:40,267 --> 00:03:43,627 Speaker 4: have a barrier trial. She'll certainly go and have a gallop, 70 00:03:44,627 --> 00:03:46,547 Speaker 4: you know, she'll have a look around Ellisie, another gallop 71 00:03:46,587 --> 00:03:48,947 Speaker 4: at Elissie just to basically give her a little out 72 00:03:49,027 --> 00:03:51,667 Speaker 4: and to keep her fitness up. But certainly won't have 73 00:03:51,707 --> 00:03:54,267 Speaker 4: a race. But there could be a quiet barrier trial involved. 74 00:03:54,547 --> 00:03:56,387 Speaker 2: And then what Stephen, what is the plan as a 75 00:03:56,427 --> 00:03:59,627 Speaker 2: four year old? You know, Golden Eagle in October? Is 76 00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:00,307 Speaker 2: that on your radar? 77 00:04:00,867 --> 00:04:03,307 Speaker 4: Well, it's look for four year old's worth ten million, 78 00:04:03,387 --> 00:04:07,467 Speaker 4: it's certainly it's certainly very high on HER's. Look at 79 00:04:07,507 --> 00:04:11,667 Speaker 4: a race, you've got to look at the money's just well, 80 00:04:11,747 --> 00:04:15,427 Speaker 4: it's it's ridiculous really and it could be a perfect 81 00:04:15,467 --> 00:04:18,907 Speaker 4: race for you. So look, that's certainly on our and 82 00:04:18,987 --> 00:04:21,347 Speaker 4: our thoughts at the moment. But we'll get our we'll 83 00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:23,747 Speaker 4: get our the Kiwi n z B KII out of 84 00:04:23,787 --> 00:04:26,667 Speaker 4: the way and then we'll we'll hopefully be putting a 85 00:04:26,707 --> 00:04:27,667 Speaker 4: plath to that race. 86 00:04:28,107 --> 00:04:31,627 Speaker 2: How were the celebrations last night, Well, to be honest, 87 00:04:31,787 --> 00:04:32,587 Speaker 2: very cold. 88 00:04:33,547 --> 00:04:36,227 Speaker 4: With with a big with a big dad of sales today. 89 00:04:37,387 --> 00:04:40,707 Speaker 4: You just can't you know, we're we're selling nearly three 90 00:04:40,787 --> 00:04:44,187 Speaker 4: hundred horses to the sales, so you can't really play up. 91 00:04:44,267 --> 00:04:49,667 Speaker 4: But I'm sure we'll enjoy a drink or two and 92 00:04:49,747 --> 00:04:51,307 Speaker 4: the coming and the coming week. 93 00:04:51,667 --> 00:04:53,307 Speaker 2: Yeah, a well deserved one as well.
