Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $250,000 James Squire Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) at Royal Randwick.

Tim Clark (Eliyass): “I thought his trial was excellent, we came here full of confidence and pretty much just rode him like the best horse.

“The second horse challenged him late, but it sort of got to him and he was never letting it pass.

“His manners were all so much better. I think he's always got to be that little bit bouncy and a little bit hot he did parade better.

“He's obviously only had the three stars here, so he's still working it out, but he's got a very bright future.”

Eliyass wins the Kingston Town

James McDonald (Ceolwulf): “He ran well. Presented like the winner. Credit to the winner. He is tough as boots.”

Chad Schofield (Golden Path): “Really good effort again. A young stayer who continues to improve. Had a while between runs and will take benefit from today.”

Nash Rawiller (Kalapour): “I think he has come up well. Managed to get out to his trip, a bit one paced today. Still like the way he has hit the line.”

Regan Bayliss (Military Mission): “A good run. Now that he is getting a little bit older I think he is looking for the 2400m.”

Rachel King (Alegron): “Super first up run. Plenty of improvement there. I think he is going really well.”

Josh Parr (Zeyrek): No comment

Adam Hyeronimus (Serpentine): “I thought he ran really well first up.”

Dylan Gibbons (Adelaide River): “He is a very good horse. His brain just didn’t let him be that today.”

Jason Collett (Athabascan): “He worked home fine. Just in a different race on straightening.”

Reece Jones (Trust In You): “Ran home well. Wants to step out over a bit further. Not bad first up here.”

Zac Wadick (El Bodegon): “I thought he has done well in that grade. It seemed like they raced in two groups. He was finished off the second group and wasn’t beaten far. A good run.”

Tommy Berry (Valiant King): “He spent a lot of the race trying to get onto his Melbourne leg. I was sort of on that one rein a little bit. You see he gets a little bit uncomfortable and tangled up around the bend. He might be worth sending to Melbourne where he has raced well in the past.”

Jay Ford (Star Of India): “He actually ran reasonably well. Will be better for the run. Only had two runs in two years.”

Zac Lloyd (Land Legend): “He ran really well. Just an out and out stayer who is finding the line as he was from the 400. The further the better for him. Step up in trip will do him well.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Zardozi): “She landed close but she sort of over-travelled in the mid-stages which didn’t help her finish.”
