Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $200,000 Schweppes Ming Dynasty Quality (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Sam Clipperton (Golden Mile): “I’m a big fan of this horse since I first sat on him in trials. He has so much presence. He throws so much to Astern. He throws so much to the old man that it's quite uncanny. I actually won on his mother in the Gimcrack. He was much more of a racehorse today than what he was first up.”
I was a little concerned at the 700m that I was going to be doing the donkey work. Fortunately I was following James McDonald who was also travelling. He then won as he liked.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Williamsburg): “Pleasing run. He had to go back from the gate but he finished off well. Out in trip is going to suit him now.”
Rachel King (Rise Of The Masses): “He was a bit disappointing today.”
Brenton Avdulla (Brosnan): “Happy enough with him. Once he gets to a mile, a bit further you’ll get improvement.”
James McDonald (Basquiat): “Solid effort. Tried hard."
Chad Schofield (Magic): “He had a bit of a wide run.”
Jason Collett (Flag Of Honour): “Hit the line well from back.”
Tommy Berry (Zou Tiger): “Copped some pressure earlier and couldn’t find a spot. It was a high pressure race and he’s probably not ready for that yet. I wasn’t disappointed.”
William Pike (Conqueror): “Good run.”
Tom Sherry (Matcha Latte): “Huge run. He’ll want more ground.”
Kathy O’Hara (Manzoice): “Just looking for further. He was run off his feet today.”
