Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $1,000,000 Fujitsu General George Main Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.

James McDonald (Verry Elleegant):  “We are pretty well prepared with her now. Sometimes she jumps, sometimes she hasn’t. She has been extremely slow in the past. She was pretty cranky today though. I was a little bit worried with her. Going around she was quite cantankerous and wanting to get on with it. Once I jumped a little bit slow, I didn’t have many options to be fair and just let it unfold as it went.”

“When I looked up at the 500m and Riodini had shot clear I thought Jesus it is going to take a mighty horse to run it down and both Think It Over and Verry Elleegant went together but she pulls out all stops this horse, she is just tough as nails.”

What a superstar! 🌟

Tim Clark (Kolding): “He pulled up with a bit of an issue so I hopefully he’s alright.”

Nash Rawiller (Think It Over): “He went super. We didn’t get any real favours in the run. To the horse’s credit he travelled really well and it was a very good effort.”

Hugh Bowman (Cascadian): “I thought it was an improved performance on his Chelmsford run. He’s on track for the Epsom.”

Sam Clipperton (Star Of The Seas): “He ran really well. Probably just peaked on his run late. He’s right on target for the Epsom in two weeks.”

Rachel King (Riodini): “Massive run. When he drops in weight next start in the Epsom he’s going to be one of the fancied ones.”

Regan Bayliss (Lion's Roar): “Definitely getting back on top of the ground where he can use that good action of his.”

Kathy O'Hara (Shout The Bar): “A little bit disappointing. She moved into the race okay but was disappointing late.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Hungry Heart): “It was a really pleasing run. Not sure that she loved the ground but she kept finishing on the whole way up the running and showed she was in good order even though beaten a couple of lengths. She ran a great race.”
