“I’m just rapt for the horse as much as anything,to see her get the accolades.
“He[jockey Tommy Berry] was in the right spot every step of the way. It was a toss up about what might happen at the top of the straight. He thought they would roll off[the fence],he was happy the inside was the right place to be and that turned out to be accurate and the result came.”
Berry said it was a huge thrill to win a time-honoured feature of Melbourne’s Cup week.
“I was only saying to my wife during the week,I’ve ridden a lot of colts and geldings,I’ve ridden a lot of good sprinting fillies,but I’ve always admired Hugh Bowman and him winning Oaks on good fillies,” Berry said.
