00:00 We're all going to act, which constitutes a race in succession, and I probably refer to the race as the race of the world, because it's the sort of horse that in the last five years has been the one race that's been tied with two people on the world stage.
00:14 We need to also understand that 50 straight riders on a track like this, that equals a track record, will make the rest of the world and the Northern Hemisphere stand up yet again, and understand that the Southern Hemisphere is a province here to stay, and we're just getting better and better.
00:29 So to Horston, to Chris Penozio, I don't know, Peter and all the team, I was with all the team at work at Penozio Stables, congratulations, it's a very proud moment.
00:40 Don't underestimate, well you've already asked quite a consistent invitation, but don't underestimate the impact of what you've just done.
00:46 You have just achieved not only the individual, but the group, and also, and it's not to congratulate the Haynes family, you've read the Horson, a wonderful outcome.
00:57 You and I have talked about this for a long, long time, this is your moment in the sun, and I'm glad that not only the 12-hour impact is positive, but you also have a lot of units at the 12-hour impact, so hopefully there's another future champion up at our track.
01:10 We're looking out for you, and we'll do it for you. On behalf of Melinda and Danny, thank you very much.
