<\/p>\n\u201cLike anybody, if they leave me alone, I can just train the horse. I can\u2019t put it in a formula what you do sometimes as a trainer, but you know we dream dreams, don\u2019t we?\u201d<\/p>\n
Price paid tribute to co-trainer Mick Kent jnr and the \u201c40 staff and all our pre-trainers and all our equestrian friends\u201d who celebrated the win.<\/p>\n
Jubilation aside, as a Cox Plate audition, the light Might And Power field failed the test. It is hard to see any of Treasurethe Moment, Buckaroo or even the victorious Globe troubling big guns such as Via Sistina and Sir Delius at the Valley in a fortnight\u2019s time.<\/p>\n
The $3 million group 1 Guineas is now more likely to throw up a Cox Plate threat.<\/p>\n
The Chris Waller-trained colt Autumn Boy streeted his rivals in the 1600m stallion-making race, emulating the feats of his sire The Autumn Sun, who saluted for Waller in the 2018 Caulfield Guineas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud of all the horses that come through the stable, but when we\u2019ve got champions like The Autumn Sun and we\u2019ve got sons and daughters, it\u2019s pretty special,\u201d Waller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, Autumn Glow. Now it\u2019s a super colt with Autumn Boy \u2013 it\u2019s pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the country\u2019s best trainer was tight-lipped about whether his latest gun colt would be headed to the Valley on October 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t normally because they\u2019re still babies,\u201d Waller said. \u201cHe\u2019s only had four or five starts, I think. So, it\u2019ll be unlikely for us, but we\u2019ll see what comes out next week, you\u2019ve got the luxury of just sitting tight. He\u2019s not overly raced so you can do it, but we\u2019ll have to see how good Via Sistina\u2019s going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Waller labelled Autumn Boy\u2019s jockey Damian Lane a \u201cworld-class sportsman\u201d for making a trainer\u2019s \u201cjob so much easier\u201d.<\/p>\n
Queensland trainer Tony Gollan has a live Cox Plate runner in Antino, but he tasted early spring success in the cooler Victorian climate when his runner Translantic edged out Evaporate in the $1 million group 1 Toorak Handicap.<\/p>\n
It has been a big fortnight for the Queenslanders after the Brisbane Lions won the AFL flag and the Broncos took out the NRL and NRL premierships.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something in the water in Brisbane at the moment,\u201d Gollan remarked.<\/p>\n
It was back-to-back Tooraks for the Brisbane trainer, who won last year\u2019s race with Antino.<\/p>\n
It is back to the drawing board for connections of Treasurethe Moment, a four-year-old mare who many thought could be the equal of another Yulong-owned star in Via Sistina.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe really laboured late, which was really unlike her,\u201d jockey Damian Lane said of the Matt Laurie-trained Treasurethe Moment, which has been recovering from a colic attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst thoughts are disappointing without dissecting the race, going through the sectionals and everything like that, but I would expect at her best she\u2019d go past Globe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gun hoop James McDonald said Buckaroo was a \u201ctad below his best because he was there to win and he just grinded it out, a bit one-paced\u201d, which suggests the imported gelding might be better suited to next week\u2019s 2400m Caulfield Cup.<\/p>\n
In another of the afternoon\u2019s fairytale stories, talented sprinter Giga Kick returned to form with a comprehensive victory in the group 2 Schillaci Stakes.<\/p>\n
Giga Kick is trained by Clayton Douglas, ridden by Mark Zahra and owned by Jonathan Munz.<\/p>\n
Douglas said his phone was on for an invite to next week\u2019s mega-sprint race The Everest, but had been setting his sights on the VRC Champions Sprint at the end of Melbourne Cup week.<\/p>\n
