WHAT THEY SAID
“It was an awesome win. First up run we learnt a lot about him in this time in. I think that is the way to ride him, just cold into the race to finish off hard and that is what he is doing,”
- Paul Snowden, stable representative, following his C.S Hayes Stakes win.
“I like the way he pinned his ears back and had a crack late. He is such a good horse. “There is a strong headwind and to come from that far back it was a good win and a real tough effort,”
- Mark Zahra, jockey, following his C.S. Hayes win.
“He is an outstanding type, dark brown in colour and a touch over 16 hands, short coupled with good presence, correct and masculine. In my opinion he is the perfect type of individual to suit New Zealand broodmares"
- Brent Gillovic, Highview studmaster
