Read what each of the jockeys had to say about the runs of their mounts in the 2021 Surround Stakes on Saturday.
Nash Rawiller (Forbidden Love): “I wasn’t under any pressure to be anywhere. I thought we were two lengths closer in the run. It was more about getting her to travel comfortably and not complicating the race following Tommy Berry’s mount (Dame Giselle). I had the feeling turning for home that I just needed to keep her out of dead ends.”
“I went to come outside Tommy Berry when the split was coming. I just knew she was going to accelerate as I had a lot of horse under me. It was an amazing win.”
Hugh Bowman (Montefilia): “It was a good return. She is looking for further obviously.”
Glen Boss (Away Game): “She was disappointing but she got really hot and agitated today which is really not like her. She got upset about something and over-raced throughout the whole race. She never gave herself a chance to run seven furlongs.”
Tommy Berry (Dame Giselle): “Not sure what to make of her.”
Tom Sherry (Every Rose): “Good run. Maybe just back to the 1200m.”
James McDonald (Hungry Heart): “We went back today. Had a bit much to do but she made steady ground late.”
Jason Collett (Never Talk): “Great effort. Tried hard.”
Tim Clark (Vangelic): “Much improved performance which we expected she would put in. Really happy with her”
Tom Marquand (La Mexicana): “Not ideal coming out of the gates beforehand to get checked. Probably just did her head a bit. Not sure to be honest.”
Rachel King (Thermosphere): “Gave a really good kick at the top of the straight then lacked that extra bit at the end.”
Robbie Dolan (Elizabeel): “She is crying out for a mile. She ran really well.”
Brenton Avdulla (Joviality): “She had the right run I thought. Just a little bit disappointing not to finish it off.”
Andrew Adkins (Philizzy): “Got a good position throughout. Back in grade and back in trip.”
Sam Clipperton (Love Sensation): “Good run. She probably just lacks a bit of class. Certainly tries very hard.”
Josh Parr (Miravalle): “Found the seven furlongs too sharp. Just wants another run.”
Jay Ford (Eight Diamonds): “Probably a still little bit inexperienced to race at that grade.”
