Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $250,000 Heineken Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick.
Nash Rawiller (Think It Over): “Glen Boss told me a month ago this horse is really a horse of the future. He didn’t feel he’d really fulfilled his potential and I think he just showed his qualities then. He can go onto better things from here.”
“He’s had a really good blow. They rolled along. He was in a perfect spot. We then had to chase from the 550m which is never easy to do here. If you can suck up for an extra 100m it makes a big difference to you. Full credit to him, he’s a very good horse and a great thrill to win on him.”

Hugh Bowman (Cascadian): “I was pleased with his effort and disappointed with the result.”
Tim Clark (Nancho): “He just got it all wrong. Over-raced badly.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Shared Ambition): “Lovely first up run. He will enjoy a bit further.”
Regan Bayliss (Master Of Wine): “Just got into a nice rhythm away from that bad part of the track in the three wide lane. Montefilia gave us a good enough cart up. He just hit a flat spot. He really got going the last 100m but he is looking for further now.”
Kathy O'Hara (Selino): “A stayer resuming. Outsprinted there this afternoon but I’m sure he will take lots of improvement.”
Tom Sherry (Attorney): “Stayer first time out. Really good run. His last furlong was his best and will improve from the run.”
Sam Clipperton (Order Again): “Not a bad run. Probably just needs a little break.”
Robbie Dolan (Fun Fact): “Very good run. Just looking for further now.”
Rachel King (Riodini): “Massive run. He’s definitely back in form.”
James McDonald (Kukeracha): “Boxed on well.”
Jason Collett (She's Ideel): “Couldn’t quicken with them when they went. Just looking for further.”
Josh Parr (Montefilia): “What a beautiful mare. Returned in nice condition.”
