Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $750,000 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Damian Lane (Treasurethe Moment): “She’s very uncomplicated. She went to the barriers well and she has trained on her Sydney leg. The race worked out well. She didn’t love the heavy ground but because she’s so honest she just kept on keeping on.
“On the softer ground she didn’t quicken as well as what she normally would but she’s so honest and I think she’ll handle whatever you throw at her. She’ll excel, though, on firm ground.”

Tim Clark (Benagil): “She ran terrific. Presented like she was going to challenge the winner but they were a bit stronger than her late. Great effort from her.”
Nash Rawiller (Declichy Boulevard): “It was a bit of a train wreck early. She had a bee in her bonnet. Got into a beautiful rhythm mid-race. To her credit she stuck on quite well.”
Zac Lloyd (Movin Out): “Unfortunately no tempo. Got the spot we wanted. Just needed a lot more tempo than that. I thought for a couple of strides we were in strife. Can’t finish off the race over ten furlongs if she pulls that hard.”
Tom Marquand (Powers Of Opal): “I was in that four deep line early. Just waiting for someone to go and no-one went. I thought I would see what we could do from the front. Just not her style. She didn’t enjoy it.”
Tommy Berry (Real Class): “Just those races with no speed and no pressure haven’t suited her here. I think backing off a little bit. I know Chris would like to take her to Queensland. Bigger sized fields and more pressure she will be a lot more at home.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Verona Rose): “She was really pleasing there. First time out to 2000m. She got through that ground OK without saying she loved it. She can go to the Oaks and hopefully get better ground and run a great race.”
Tyler Schiller (Canny Queen): “I was rapt with her. She probably had the soft draw of the field. She did a great job to keep finding the line like that.”
Josh Parr (Ella Hazel): “She has incredible stamina this horse. Just needs to learn how to race. She is quite blaze. She will get there.”
