‘It’s a blessing now that (Carlton) gave me the tap on the shoulder.’
While Alligator Blood was able to get outside the leader Annavisto, Williams and Mr Brightside were caught three-wide without cover.
Joining the leaders early in the straight, Mr Brightside, the $2.70 favourite, then had to hold off the late bid of Princess Grace to score by a long-neck with I Wish I Win a half-head away third. “I went out and walked the track before that race and I felt it’s not going to be a disadvantage to him if he sits wider rather than having the rail,” Williams said.“It was a very good race, and I just loved the way that he loves to stick his head out in front, and pin back his ears.
“He’s going to be the best miler in Australia and if the Hayes boys want to go somewhere else with him this horse won’t disappoint because he’s a competitive horse./“They’ve got a good handle on him, and I’d be happy to put my red saddle on him wherever he runs.”“Will’s had his first Group 1 win which is amazing, and the whole team got a big buzz out of it,” he said.
“Everyone back at the farm behind the scenes has really worked hard and to get the results like this with a special horse like Mr Brightside is incredible.”If you’d like to view this content, please adjust your
