Beaten jockeys: The Chase Surround Stakes

Tempted had a narrow win, but what did the beaten jockeys have to say?

Ciaron Maher’s Tempted had a narrow win in the Chase Surround Stakes, but what did the beaten jockeys have to say?

Tommy Berry (Apocalyptic): “Just got to get the team to go over her when she gets home. She didn’t stretch out great in the run. Got on one rein and wanted to hang around the bend which isn’t obviously her go. Didn’t stretch out in the straight so it’s not the Apocalyptic we know.”

Zac Lloyd (Ole Dancer): “She is a pleasure to ride. She probably didn’t break the gates too well. Didn’t want to sit behind Tempted and be dictated too. So let her stride and I thought she was very gallant up the straight.”

Nash Rawiller (Savvy Hallie): “Outstanding performance. Heartbreaking to get beaten. I loved her tenacity. Made Tempted really work for it. She was great.”

Sam Clipperton (Karinska): “She has run a super honest race. Just lacks that killer punch the last furlong. She stuck to her task well.”

Jason Collett (Sunrays): “A bit disappointed.”

James McDonald (Panova): “She just hit a flat spot at the 400m. Ground to the line well.”

Craig Williams (Queen Of Clubs): “She is on a path towards the Oaks. That was a good second up run for her. She is right on where Trainer Gary Portelli would like her to go I assuming second up.”
