Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Glen Boss (Sir Dragonet): “He’s got there today on a good track over a mile and a half and he’s given them an absolute spanking.”
“He never went to the line the other day like he did today, I know it’s a mile-and-a-half, but he just whacked away the other day like a tired horse.”
Damien Oliver (Mirage Dancer): “Had a good run. Just got a bit buffeted at the 600m and didn’t appreciate it.”
Hugh Bowman (The Chosen One): “No luck from the wide draw. I thought the performance was okay.”
Mark Zahra (Southern France): “Ran well. Good effort.”
Craig Williams (Sound): “He was a little bit keen and did a little bit too much work to get his position. In that quality field it really took a toll.”
Robbie Dolan (Spirit Ridge): “He ran well. He’s ready for the Sydney Cup.”
Tim Clark (Chapada): “A bit disappointing over the final furlong and a half.”
Luke Nolen (Nickajack Cave): “He went terrific. He’s a two mile handicapper so very happy with what he did today.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Angel Of Truth): “He was presented. Just over-run the last 100m today.”
Brenton Avdulla (Shraaoh): “Pulled a plate as soon as we left the gates. I could feel him do it. From then on he never travelled.”
James McDonald (Melody Belle): “Ran so well. Had a horror draw so had to go back too far.”
Jason Collett (She’s Ideel): “Great effort. A great effort at weight-for-age.”
Tom Marquand (Toffee Tongue): “Ran absolutely super. Travelled nicely in the run. We had to take the brave run though. She is as straight forward as they come, knuckled down well. Definitely has 2400m in her range.”
Rachel King (Miami Bound): “Huge run. Hopefully she is back in some form.”
