Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $750,000 Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Tyler Schiller (Wild Planet): “It’s terrific. Credit to the Hawkes team, they’ve done a really good job with the horse. He has been a bit hit and miss lately but he has bounced back up to the 2000 and never looked like stopping to me.”

“He had to circle them as well, so he has done a terrific job. I think the wind is playing a big part today and I’m really grateful for the win.”

“Last start was a forgive, he got flushed out and whacked on the corner. He got flushed out today but very brave, he kept digging in."

Michael Dee (Shock 'Em Ova): “Super effort. He is still a big raw gangly horse. Whatever he is doing now he is still learning.”

Zac Lloyd (Stroke Of Luck): “Horse was fantastic. He has done very well to run second. Probably when they slowed up in the middle part it didn’t suit him. Was very game to the line.”

Nash Rawiller (No Compromise): “Just didn’t get a lot of galloping room in the straight.”

Jason Collett (Sky Lab): “Didn’t have a lot of luck late. Finishing the race off well.”

Sam Clipperton (Stockman): “Certainly one of his better performances for a while. There is a 2300m race in a fortnight’s time that will be right up his alley.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Canberra Legend): “He has run a good race. Had to do a little bit of work through the first stages to get a spot. Will make his presence felt and will enjoy going 2400m and maybe even further.”

Craig Williams (Shibli): “On face value we think we had the perfect run in the race. Him up into that grade, it was too much of a competitive race for that type of grade. He needs to be ridden more conservative to finish his race off.”

Jay Ford (Baby Rider): “He went really good. Has improved from his first to second up run. Probably barrier one isn’t ideal for him. He’s a genuine stayer who wants to get out and rolling.”

Kathy O'Hara (Political Debate): “Should have got going a bit earlier. Got buffeted which didn’t suit him.”
