Ka Ying Rising was simply too good, but there was a few losers worth following. Hear what the beaten jockeys had to say:
Tyler Schiller (Briasa): “I thought he has done a great job from back in the field. He didn’t anticipate the start as he has been the last two. Just ended up a long way back. I thought he got the right cart into the race. Joliestar took us everywhere. He just couldn’t finish off from back there.”
Josh Parr (Overpass): “He showed what he is capable of. He is a high speed horse, gave a turn of foot today that I think was the best of his career. Fought it out to the shadows of the post. Obviously winner too good but very proud of my horse.”
Ethan Brown (Jimmysstar): “Unreal. He ran out of his skin. A kinder gate would have done us a lot of favours. Good to see him closer. He gave his all. So proud of him.”
Tim Clark (War Machine): “I was hoping to settle a pair closer than I did. He travelled well but just when the pressure went on, they left him a bit flat footed.”
Jason Collett (Mazu): “He was brave. Took up the running there until late. Pretty good.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Jedibeel): “He has run fantastic. Had to switch back to the inside. Was closest on the line. Ran a great race.”
Ben Melham (Angel Capital): “Was a terrific performance. Just the 1400m back to 1200m when they sprinted, they just left him a little bit. He kept coming all the way to the line. It took him until the line to really hit his straps. Gallant performance. Horse is going really well.”
James McDonald (Joliestar): “She was pretty good. I was happy with the run we had midfield and travelled up beautifully. I thought she was the winner at the 500m. She was just smoking. Just lost her action into the dip and for 50m out of the dip and then she got going. Never lost ground and never gained ground.”
Damian Lane (Lady Shenandoah): “She ran super. At the 600m she didn’t take the corner that well. Clipped Jimmysstar’s heel on the outside. Just blundered at a vital stage of the race. Did well to pick up and finish the way she did.”
Michael Dee (Magic Time): “She has quickened up really well. Just had to run impossible sectionals to be closer in the finish. She ran great.”
Craig Williams (Tempted): “The winner is a superstar. My horse is a future mega-superstar. She was great. Credit to Ciaron Maher, the ownership group to come to a race like this. Definitely didn’t disappoint and will benefit from this run again.”
A legend is created! 🙌
