best great repay ride support work
Graeme has been a great support to me, I've done a lot of work for him over the years and the best way to repay him is to ride winners.
looks sprinter tape totally
They're totally different. Ticker Tape looks more like a sprinter type. This filly is a big, rangy filly with a big, long stride.
maybe might people perhaps ride struggle
Perhaps I've done a little better than a lot of people expected, maybe they thought I might struggle a bit, but I just wanted to get out there and ride winners.
close game good held
(Menino) was outstanding. He held them off pretty good in this game to keep it close for awhile.
She's pretty young. She hasn't had that many starts.
bad bled forward move race
I look for her to move forward off that race. She bled real bad at Calder.
hanging stick
It's been a while but I've been hanging in there, and you always get something if you can stick it out.
experience great kids tournament
It's a great experience for these kids to play in a tournament like this every year.
coming dream love magic racing ride win
It's magic getting back on top. I was always coming back, I love my racing and it's a dream to win at my first ride back.
concerned david eighth kicked opened pole sure
I was a little concerned we'd get trapped. They all kind of kicked away at the three-eighths pole, and David said that opened it up. I wasn't sure if she'd get them, but at the eighth pole I was more assured.
happy
He's doing tremendous. I'm very happy with him. He couldn't be doing any better.
late runners
Hopefully, the late runners will take a day off.
aggressive expected hopefully next race run training
He hasn't done what I expected of him. I've been training him in blinkers. Hopefully that will get him more aggressive. I won't run him in blinkers, but I will in the next race if I don't see him more aggressive this time.
came race track
He came out of the race super. He went back to the track and he's pretty keen.
