Joseph Pride

They get a lot out of them.

Credit to Joe Pride,

too, the way he's managed the horse.

Definitely.

It all sets up well for her.

But if I've got the map right, I'm hoping I have, that Sergio can sit in the box seat, and present as the winner and then hold off 10 deep so each one of the last race 10 number 6 Sir Joe.

Okay David and the tab price $8 win 230 the place about Sir Joe there in race 10 in regards to the Russell balding Darren Hedley Grange badly held up last start does he have the ping to match it with these Everest types?

Yeah I'm not sure about that like we do have to forget his run there in the Alan Brown and He's been a really good horse.

Will he match it with the sharpest sprinters here today? Well, he has beaten Jimmy Starr in Brisbane back in May, so that's worth noting.

point you've made there with Ethan Brown to give up an entire day at Flemington for one ride here.

Mine is, I think, old reliable at the moment.

Joe Pride has got anthracite just flying.

That's all.

I just have big, big hopes for Attica this prep and hasn't been disgraceful, but I reckon Joe Pride would be disappointed in the horse.

If you're saying hasn't been disgraceful, that's butting up right on the line.

If it doesn't do anything here, it's going to be put in the disgraceful bucket.

Payday Peanut Caramel Bar.

Joe Pride, of course, joins us on the line here on The First Word.

He's got Cheyenne Wolfe down here for the Cox Plate.

Joe, good morning to you.

How is Cheyenne Wolfe ahead of his big assignment today?

Yes, yeah, very happy with him.

Chad's got to ride to suit the conditions of the race today and we've done our job here getting the horse ready and we'll hand the keys

over to Chad and see what he can do.

But just standing alone, the Cox Plate to me is the greatest race, the race that if I was able to win a race as an owner, I would want to win.

And I know that many trainers who are in this race, it's their dream for them to win, including Joe Pride, who we heard a little earlier on in the week.

Yes, what did he say last week? 50% chance of going to the Cox Plate.

I interpreted that as probably 90% at the time.

Chad Schofield, he won the race as an apprentice.

He's just fresh off of winning in Everest and now he's trying to win it as a senior jockey.

You've got Joe Pride said this is the race that he has dreamt of winning his whole entire training career.

Okay, Waterhouse, and that's the horse that has been set for this race.

And Autumn Glow adding to her winning record there in the King Charles Stakes over the 1600 meters from Chaaya Wolf.

And the big news is this morning, Joe Pride texts me about 6:45, Chaaya Wolf will be on his way to Melbourne for the Cox Plate.

Uh, he pulled up A-okay was the, the message from Joe Pride.

Very happy with him this morning and will be accepting for Tuesday's Cox Plate.

So that's a bit of breaking news off the top.

Are you hearing the same?

Well, Joe Pride said it was 30% on Thursday when Pride of Jennings was in the race, and then he had a chat to Matty Nevitt yesterday, um-

He'd love nothing than to play back up

... and he said now 50%, so I don't know.

Hope looking to knock off Kanying Rising in the Everest.

And I know you're very keen to have a chat to Joe Pride, who's got Shea Wolf taking on Autumn Glow in the King Charles.

He probably would have been as disappointed as anyone yesterday hearing the news that Pride of Jenny had come out of the race because I know he was really looking forward to her at least setting that up and ensuring that there was going to be a real strong tempo and that would have given him some chance of knocking her off.

But unfortunately, she won't be there, Pride of Journey.

And I think that it does change the complexion completely, as you just mentioned, of the race.

It will be interesting to get Joe's thoughts on how that has changed the race for him and what maybe his thoughts are with Chair Wolf moving forward, whether they head towards the Cox Plate after Saturday, whether they wait and go towards the Champion's Mile.

The other really interesting fact I want to talk to Joe Pride about is I want to ask him about why he didn't run in an Everest.

He's been very open that he doesn't think that anything can beat Kai Ying Rising.
