Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $2,000,000 The Kosciuszko (1200m) at Royal Randwick.

Tyler Schiller (Front Page): “Can’t thank the owners and obviously Matt (Dale) enough. Geoff (Duryea - previous trainer) has done a great job to give Matt all the knowledge about the horse, I know he’s not easy but gee he’s done a terrific job to get him here in that order and to beat them like that he’s a cracker.”

“I know he’s always shown it. He went on from the Cossie last year and went close in Group 1’s without being too far off them. He’s always got the ability and tries his guts out.”

“It was great last year to do it for Geoff but they’ve passed the baton onto Matt Dale and he’s done a terrific job. I can’t say he’s improved the horse but he’s got him going as good as he can.Gee he’s a terrific animal.”

“He got control of the race very easy this year. I thought he quickened well from the top of the straight and then he just kept building, he felt like he never stopped. Last year he felt like he was a little bit reluctant to go and there were a few chasing but not this year he put them away very easy.”

Front Page wins The Kosciuszko at Royal Randwick

James McDonald (Opal Ridge): “She was brave in defeat. Hard to reel in the leader.”

James Orman (Far Too Easy): “He’s run enormous. I got the back of Derry Grove but I feel the track might have been a bit firm for him. He boxed on well to run third.”

Tommy Berry (Mnementh): “Beautiful run behind the winner. Just too firm a track for him.”

Aaron Bullock (Akasawa): “A bit of an awkward draw. Began better than anticipated. The blinkers seems to do that with this horse. Gets him out and rocking. We went 200m and there was a big bunch to the inside. I couldn’t be dragging him back out of the race. Elected to stride forward and he acquitted himself well. In for a good prep going to the Big Dance.”

Hugh Bowman (Cavalier Charles): “I was delighted with his performance. I just think he needs a track favouring swoopers.”

Jason Collett (I've Bean Tryin'): “Worked home really well. The gate made it difficult.”

Nick Heywood (Mogo Magic): “He was a bit slow away today. He got smashed from the outside and the inside. Did a good job to do what he did but a bit too soon for him.”

Craig Williams (Bianco Vilano): “Due to this horse’s disappointing performance and not being competitive there, there clearly will be something to come out of that there. Clearly not his usual self. Hopefully gets through it OK.”

Rachel King (Our Last Cash): “Got cleaned up at the start. Massive run and deserves one of these.”

Sam Clipperton (Sizzle Minizzle): “He has developed into a horse now wants a mile simple as that. They were a bit sharp.”

Nash Rawiller (Derry Grove): “Jumped and charged the whole race.”

Dylan Gibbons (Broken Hill): “Copped a bit of buffering early. Hoping there is an issue because it was too bad to be true.”

Kathy O'Hara (Kimberley Secrets): “Very gallant effort. She chased the leader a long way and felt the pinch the last 100m. Still solid.”
