Nash Rawiller was reaching for superlatives after Howmuchdoyouloveme won the Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Rawiller took Howmuchdoyouloveme, the $2.70 favourite, to the front soon after the start and held off River Lad ($8) to win by a short neck.

"He's an amazing horse to ride," Rawiller said.

"He takes a stride that's twice the size of any other horse in the race and he's blessed with a tremendous amount of ability."

Rawiller said Howmuchdoyouloveme showed tremendous courage despite tiring in the final stages.

"It just shows what a tremendous will-to-win he has and they all had their chance to beat him if they were good enough."

Trainer Tina Cotsiopoulos is keen to give Howmuchdoyouloveme the chance to defend his Ramornie Handicap title at Grafton next month.

"I'll talk it over with the owners and see how he pulls up but the Ramornie would be an ideal race for him," he said.

"He's a magnificent horse to do anything with. He can roll along in front and just keep going."

Natalie McCall, the trainer of River Lad, is considering backing the gelding up in next Saturday's Glasshouse Handicap at the Sunshine Coast.

"The 1400 metres of the Glasshouse is probably his optimal distance," she said.

"He tries his heart out every time he goes around but the winner was just too good for us today."
