Bart Cummings, the horse trainer with the best one liners in the business, has taught his grandchildren well.
If promising colt Forget Maybe didn't turn in the run of the day at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, then Cummings's grandson Edward easily came up with the best post-race interview from the meeting.
"We've tried to sell him but never really got the job done. He's sort of like the happy leftovers, I suppose. He'll pay for a couple of slow ones," he said.
Forget Maybe is trained by Edwards' father Anthony who likes to speculate in the bloodstock market and on-sell to new or established clients.
It's a way of keeping his Randwick stables rejuvenated but sometimes there's a horse nobody wants to buy into.
"Dad has ended up with him and it might be to our benefit," Edward said.
Having his first start after winning a Randwick barrier trial last Friday, Forget Maybe came from just beyond midfield in the Tab.com.au Plate (1300m) to win in a driving finish.
Jockey Peter Robl brought Forget Maybe, the $4 favourite, into the race from the turn and despite taking his time to overhaul the runner-up Dedline, he rallied enough to win by a neck.
The victory sets up the possibility of a Melbourne campaign for champion sire Fastnet Rock's latest winner, who Edward says has been his own worst enemy because of his boyish behaviour.
"He's just a colt, he knows himself and he's got a big set of nuts and he's not afraid to show them," Cummings said.
"Today he was an absolute gem, really easy to handle, a gentleman to saddle, and he raced the same way."
Forget Maybe completed an early double for a stable who has high hopes for Group One success on the weekend with Drago in Sydney and Cluster in Melbourne.
But while Forget Maybe is a potential Victorian spring carnival runner, a more cautious approach will be taken with stablemate and Australian Turf Club Handicap winner Freckle Face.
Freckle Face, also ridden by Robl, appreciated a hectic tempo to overwhelm her rivals late in the race to make it two wins from three starts.
"It remains to be seen whether she'll go again (to the races) this prep. She was sort of wound right up and I think the firm track might end up causing her to go a touch sore," Edward said.
