Yeah

... and talked about his...

Look, we knew he had s- six gears.

We knew he had a lot of gears, and he was a fast horse.

But first trial, his c- he's jumped well, gone to the front, and stuck in first gear, did not leave it.

Second trial, they went a bit faster, had to absorb a bit of pressure.

He, he, they clicked him into second gear, and he just flew away from.

You know, like fuck me, dude, I was in Alaska and I could hear the fucking trendsetters in Randwick, you know? [laughs] Like it was like-

Yeah.

You know? But I'm strangling this [laughs] boy, thinking that you hold him real tight.

And so we're going back and forth, and I remember I lead one in, and I'm absolutely shitting myself because you're in front of Randwick, in front of all the best trainers in basically the world.

And I'm going in, and I, I, I take the racehorse and I give it away.

And, um, I must've j- I remember I'd done a few laps, and I go, "I'm get- I'm getting the hang of this.

It, it just seems fairly good." You kick the horse, it goes forward, and you, you turn it with, like, like you would in a steering wheel.

And, um, it wa- [laughs] it wasn't till I'm getting passed with this horse, and I must've just been holding the bit so hard in its mouth for the whole time, this 25-year-old, like, half asleep old racehorse just going, "I am so sick of this cunt."

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah

... from Group One.

And um, I was like, "Okay, yeah, not too bad.

Whatever, I'll keep it black booked to see how it goes." Comes into the spring of last year, and it k- kinda lines up and wins another race, and then I kinda just forgot about it.

And then anyway, I'm, I'm, I'm...

I'm just having a punt sitting on the lounge and, um, the bloody Caulfield Cup comes on.

And I'm going, "Oh, geez, that's that horse, isn't it?" And it comes out and wins the Caulfield Cup by three lengths.

Fucking oath.
