James Cummings trains his first Golden Slipper winner in Kiamichi, and the quinella with Microphone while Godolphink trifecta Australia's richest two-year-olds race.

Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 Longines Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Damian Lane (Kiamichi): “I just sent her away. What a tough filly. So well prepared by James Cummings and her team. I got on her last week and sat and steered her around and did the same thing last week. She’s just so honest and so tough.”

“We had to be positive. Had to use her attribute which is her speed and her toughness and it paid off.

“It’s a big thrill to ride such a big winner for Godolphin. I’m just a small part of the team there but it’s a good team to be involved with.”

Hugh Bowman (Microphone): “Delighted with the colt, it was a great performance, very proud of him. Winner too good.”

Luke Currie (Lyre): “She ran really well, just had to wait a while to get a bit of room, she was very good late.”

Blake Shinn (Yes Yes Yes): “I thought he ran a tremendous race, he just never handled the ground, he was off the bit and struggling the whole way, still did a good to finish off and finish as close as he did.''

Jason Collett (Time To Reign): “Good run, would have liked to have been handier but just didn’t leave the gates quick enough. Very good though.”

Dwayne Dunn (Free Of Debt): “He’s been injured quite badly, near-side fore and off-side fore, hopefully everything will be alright with him.”

Mark Zahra (Cosmic Force): “Raced probably a little bit flat, I just travelled where I was and didn’t pick up in the straight.”

Michael Walker (Dubious): “Probably better to go back to Melbourne and get a firm track.”

Damien Oliver (Lankan Star): “I thought she ran really well, had a nice run, but she’s not really comfortable in those conditions, but she battled it out really well.”

James McDonald (Tenley): “That wasn’t her, have to put it down to the ground, she’s was just gone the moment I left the stalls, her two worst furlongs was right in the middle of the race where it’s really chopped up, she’ll live to fight another day.”

Tommy Berry (Pin Sec): “She just struggled in the ground, at the 600m she hit quite a bad patch there and never gained her confidence after that. I was happy with the way she found the line late though.”

Tim Clark (Anaheed): “She ran really well, had a nice run, just the winner was too good.”

Corey Brown (Catch Me): “Ran nice, but didn’t really handle the track, it’s quite choppy.”

Sam Clipperton (Vincere Volare): “Courageous little filly, the ground found her out today.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Exhilarates): “We got back from the draw and then when we hit the corner where the ground is blown away, she didn’t enjoy that and lost confidence in the ground.”

Oisin Murphy (Loving Gaby): “Very pleased with her run, she put herself in a good spot, a little bit lost around the turn, she’s got a big future.”
