Watch: Matt Hughes and Tim Auld with Stern Idol

Transcript

00:00 Tim, we've got Stern Idol here, favourite for the Briley, how's it looking?

00:04 Yeah, it looks a million dollars. I know Kieran and Declan and the crew there are very confident with his chances.

00:10 He schooled very, very well around here two weeks ago with Willie McCarthy on board and Willie McCarthy of course rides him today.

00:21 Last year his only other run here was in the Grand Annual and he probably wasn't seasoned enough to run at that stage of his career.

00:28 But I'd say he is definitely the one to beat in the Briley. Big, strong type of horse that should be suited by this track.

00:35 Sounds good.
