“ But race day was awesome . I couldn ’ t have dreamt it to go any better .

“ Because it has got enough to run home pretty hard I am getting lazy , so I have been really crappy on the tree , but the last two runs tonight was a 0.50 and a 0.40 reaction times , which is sort of where I need to be .
“ In the final , I took two looks in the mirror and ( Murray High ) was still behind me so I rolled off early and I thought , okay , this is it , I ’ ve won . It was good !”
