Read what each of the jockeys had to say about the runs of their mounts in the 2021 Coolmore Classic on Saturday.
Tim Clark (Krone): “We were hoping that the track was going to be a bit more rain affected but she drew lovely and she had a good run throughout, didn’t spend a penny. She travelled up really good and when she got the gaps she really let rip. She’s in terrific form and for her to be able to do that with 57kgs on her back, she had a good horses weight, she put that field away comfortably.”
Regan Bayliss (Mizzy): “Three back fence from barrier 15 so had a lovely run. Just beaten by the better horse”
Tom Marquand (Sweet Deal): “Travelled in a really nice position. Relaxed well. She will come on from today.”
James McDonald (Madam Rouge): “She whacked away okay.”
Tommy Berry (Subpoenaed): “I just don’t think she runs the trip.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Icebath): “Good run. Happy with that.”
Andrew Adkins (Reelem In Ruby): “Good effort. We ended up in a lovely spot. Travelled really well around the corner. Faded the last 150m first time at the trip.”
Rachel King (Sovereign Award): “I think the quick back up and travel made her a little bit flat today.”
Nash Rawiller (Forbidden Love): “She didn’t have much luck today in the run. I felt I couldn’t sprint my way out of trouble. It was hard for her to pick up.”
Michael Dee (Rich Hips): “She ran well. Just ended up further back than I would have liked.”
Brenton Avdulla (All Saints’ Eve): “She ran huge. Just didn’t get the luck at the right time before the bend. She was able to get onto the back of Timmy.”
Glen Boss (Tricky Gal): “She needs cut in the ground.”
Jason Collett (Emeralds): “Not going as well as she can.”
Declan Bates (Chaillot): “She’s run okay. Didn’t really travel. Hit the line late but the race was gone.”
Robbie Dolan (Dame Giselle): “Brave in defeat. 1500m is probably a touch far but she fought all the way to end.”
Louise Day (Aliferous): “Really good run. Just had to go back from the awkward gate but I felt they went a touch slow for her in the midstages but really good run.”
Kathy O’Hara (Vangelic): “Very unlucky. Should have finished a bit closer.”
