Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $1 million The Agency George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Hugh Bowman (Forbidden Love): “It was pretty straight forward. I didn’t expect as much pressure in the early stages that eventuated but that did suit me, I was more than happy to take a sit in behind the pace.

“She’s a mare in superb form, Richard and Michael (Freedman) have managed her just amazingly and she does enjoy the wet track, so she's been one of the lucky recipients of all this rain that’s been around. She doesn’t need the rain to perform but she certainly comes to her best when it’s around.

“She just wanted to get on with it and she’s a very competitive mare and I knew then it was a very similar feeling than I got in the Canterbury Stakes last start.

“She’s in great form, I don’t know what they plan to do with her - possibly a Doncaster. I can’t see myself riding the ridiculously low weight she has, but where she does go she will certainly make her presence felt because she’s in great order.”

James McDonald (Colette): “Really honest run. Closed off nicely.”

Mark Zahra (Laws Of Indices): “A great form turnaround for him. Tough on-speed and ran well.”

Regan Bayliss (Private Eye): “A very slowly run race. Was still good through the line.”

Nash Rawiller (Dalasan): “Didn’t have any luck from the barrier. Wasn’t that great in the ground either. I thought his run was good”

Rachel King (Riodini): “Just hates that wet track.”

Jay Ford (Bankers Choice): “Really good race. Obviously at WFA is going to be suited back to handicap conditions but he closed off well."

Jason Collett (Kolding): “Too heavy.”

William Pike (Hilal): “A bit choppy near the inside. Don’t think he liked it that much.”
