Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $400,000 Kia Ora Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Zac Lloyd (Broadsiding): “He's very special, obviously, he's a very valuable colt to the team and yeah, he's getting better with age.
“Never in doubt, never in doubt. Once he'd begun like that, I had to give him a bit of a squeeze to just get in front of the runners underneath me, and once I got there, he just fell right back asleep.
“Obviously, Mayfair was making it a genuine 1400m for him first up, but perfectly prepared and yeah, he's just a very, very good colt.
“At the 500m, I just went through my gears, and he didn't really need it. He knows his job.”
Broadsiding wins the Hobartville Stakes
Tyler Schiller (Swiftfalcon): “I thought he was phenomenal. He gave the winner and best 3yo colt of the year a good head start but ran him down quite strongly. His last bit he was improving. Terrific return.”
Jason Collett (Aeliana): “Really good run. Just struggled around the turn on the back of the winner who got away from us. But then late I was very happy with her.”
Tim Clark (Mayfair): “It was definitely an improved performance from him. He is getting back close to his best form.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Linebacker): “He stepped a bit steady and I had to make a call whether to give him a kick or whether to ride him a bit more conservative which I opted to do. We were further back than I would have liked. Ultimately we weren’t that well placed. He’s run really well. Finished on strong through the line. A better beginning would have been beneficial today.”
Josh Parr (Public Attention): “I thought that was a sound effort. The winner’s turn of foot was just a little bit too good for us.”
Molly Bourke (China Sea): “Really good first up effort. As we know he is going to need ground and he will get better with more runs.”
Jay Ford (Just Party): No Comment
Tom Sherry (Firm Agreement): “Ran well. Gave me a good feel. Just got tired.”
Alysha Collett (Tenbury Wells): “A little bit sharp for him. He’ll be nice and progressive from there.”
