Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $5,000,000 TAB Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Damian Lane (Marhoona): “She was great. She's obviously been prepped perfectly for this, just peaking on the day. Not often you come up with a plan and execute it perfectly, well in Group 1s anyway.

“It really played out how we thought it might and she was great. She just was there to be beaten at the 100m and Wodeton got to us, she really stuck at it, so very brave.”

Marhoona wins Golden Slipper

James McDonald (Wodeton): “Super. He is such a good horse.”

Blake Shinn (Tempted): “She ran incredibly. I think she should have arguably won the race. Momentarily got our run impeded when North England and Bellazaine came together. I think that cost us the race. A tough one to swallow. She ran a great race.”

Hugh Bowman (Rivellino): “Great run. He needs to jump better than that. After that he gave me the most superb ride. With a bit more luck I think he could have been right in the finish.”

Michael Dee (Devil Night): “Great run. Ended up wide down the straight. Not many horses have made up good ground today.”

Tim Clark (North England): “Got into a good spot. Travelled well throughout. Just when I presented, just maybe missing that run in a high pressure, we were on the back foot a little bit. He tried hard.”

Mark Zahra (Tycoon Star): “Had the right run. When the gap came he couldn't produce it.”

Tyler Schiller (West Of Swindon): “I thought he did it quite tough. Got chopped out at the start. Was a lot further back than I hoped. Just had to make a wide run. Probably ran out of fitness lacking that run last week. Really happy with him going forward topping him off for the Sires.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Beiwacht): “First furlong was nice but it was a disaster after that. No fault to him though. A nice horse raw and learning. Nice next prep.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Skyhook): “I thought he ran well. Got out into a nice spot. Was able to get into the clear. Even pace coming home. Best is still ahead of him next preparation.”

Zac Lloyd (King Of Pop): “He is a lovely colt. He has the most beautiful attitude for a colt. We aimed for the spot we thought we might get. Just didn’t get cover. Gone really well. A better horse in the future.”

Tommy Berry (Quietly Arrogant): “Not sure what to make of him today. Disappointing.”

Josh Parr (Farcited): “Unfortunately it was all a bit much for him today.”

Regan Bayliss (Bellazaine): “Very proud of her effort. The top three home were those drawn down low not doing much work. Had to offset that wide barrier. Pleased with the way she stuck on.”

Thomas Stockdale (Military Tycoon): “Couldn’t have asked for a better run. Landed in the 1x1 with ease. Travelled nice and strong. Gave a good initial kick but struggled the last 200m. Will continue to mature into a nice 3yo.”
