David Hayes Quotations

There is a weakness in the system somewhere,

She's a superstar. I'd be running her in the Melbourne Cup but I hope she doesn't,

I distinctly remember him saying, 'Do you kids want to ride over to Tulsa with me?' ... And we all piled in the Winnie Mae and went to Tulsa and back.

I am happy and I am excited. I targeted this horse as the best horse in the stable and being able to win first-up so softly after 45 weeks, shows just how good he is. From Hong Kong, he's the one I've been waiting to train and I'm certainly not disappointed with what he's showing us.

He's been a frustratingly good horse. But the most important thing about today is tomorrow,

He was one of the most underrated sires in Australia. His statistics tell the story.

It is a big task and probably hasn't been done before but with a horse like her there is a chance she can do it.

It is an intriguing race. I wouldn't swap my horses but Miss Finland is the pick of mine and I think Brian Mayfield-Smith's horse is the hardest to beat.

That wasn't his right track today with the soft conditions around Mooney Valley and I was happy with his run,

(Wilkins) is a very articulate woman, and we felt the favorable way she presents herself will be important in the community.

We haven't sorted out just who will ride which one.

We used to go out there - several of us kids - about 16 and 17 years of age to watch the planes come in,

We understand that this will be difficult for both our residential and business customers,

This was a different time, ... This is something you wouldn't do nowadays. They would be thinking about insurance and people getting hurt - all the things we didn't think about in those days. We didn't lock our doors half the time.

At the moment I'm sitting back and hoping. If she comes through it then I'll start getting confident.

Everything went haywire after the start, but Craig (Williams) improvised and that's the sign of a great jockey.

tell patients that analog phones are certainly the safest. Whatever kind of phone you're using, it's best to avoid carrying it around turned on in your breast pocket.

It's a little tricky and he will be better for the run because he will be peaking in Queensland.

That's providing I'm 100 per cent happy with him.

It's nice to be out because compared to what it was like there, it's like a five-star hotel here.

Everyone said it was a soft Slipper but I think Miss Finland will prove them wrong.

This is just one more piece of difficult news,

I'm expecting a totally different run to Caulfield. The wide draw doesn't worry me, it's a long run to the first turn,

I'm surprised to see him doing so well

I like the way he got around here.

I hope so . . . we'll need luck with it.

The horse has pulled up very well and his shins are great.

You've got to be brave to oppose a champion but she is not over the line.
