Find out what the beaten jockeys made of their runs in the $200,000 Anniversary Highway (1400m) at Royal Randwick, won by champion country jockey Robert Thompson on After All That. Robert Thompson (After All That): “Special thanks to my trainer Rod who has really mapped this race out a long time ago for this horse and it has all paid off. It is like winning The Everest for us battling country people.”
Corey Brown (Suncraze): “Ran well. Big weight but he hit the line good.” Kerrin McEvoy (Bring A Secret): “Good effort with top weight. Very tough.” Grant Buckley (Galaxy Warrior):“Really good run. I think it was just the weight that anchored me down late.” Tye Angland (Delightful Feeling): “Good run. Just needed a little bit more room up the straight.” Rachael Murray (Exitoso): “Went super. Got a really good run in transit and tried his best.” Josh Parr (Le Cavalier): “Really strong effort. He’s knocking on the door.” Adam Hyeronimus (Darts Away): “Nice run.” Hugh Bowman (Pumpkin Pie): “Had no luck. Had no room.” Andrew Adkins (Cogliere): “A lot better run with blinkers on up to the 1400m. He’s looking for the mile now but I like the way he ran through the line, he was very good.” Tim Clark (Puzzling Wonder): “He was just a bit aggressive with the blinkers on.” Rachel King (Gentleman Max): “Just a bit of a tough run from the gate.” Jamie Spencer (Rosaruby): “Ran well. Needs further.” Adrian Layt (Not For Export): “Caught wide. Didn’t run on.” Check out the replays and results for Everest Day at Royal Randwick
