Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $1m Inglis Rural Property Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Jason Collett (Sejardan): “I love him, he’s got such a great head on him which is probably the difference at this age, like Gary said he’s got an old head on young shoulders and it showed today, his race sense is really good for a horse that’s only had one trial and a few starts.”
“He’s got attitude which you want, he did get his leg up at his first start and had to be vetted, so there are antics there which hopefully in time will be ironed out. Horses like him are going to be lovely, they’ve got a frame to fill into so time like that will do him well."
Sejardan winning the Golden Gift
Tommy Berry (Nobel): “A lovely colt but everything is just happening too quick for him.”
Josh Parr (Contemporary): “Three wide Rosehill 1100m is difficult.”
James Innes (Shirvo): “Just wasn’t himself today.”
Jay Ford (Shalatin): “He’s a really talented animal and the best is certainly ahead of him, what you are seeing at the moment, he’s had one trial and two starts, he’s very raw, he’s very green but he’s got a big motor and the future is very bright for him.”
Jean Van Overmeire (Cannonball): “Really good run. Once he puts it together will be a really nice horse.”
Tim Clark (Mount Brilliant): “Just a bit inexperienced. Too much pressure.”
Jenny Duggan (Ojai): “She was so gallant in defeat. I thought at the 200m I was the winner but the boys just got her late. She is a nice filly this one.
Kathy O'Hara (Snitcat): “Very good effort from her today. She landed in a really nice spot and she fought on bravely. Will make a nice filly next preparation.”
Brodie Loy (Birdonawing): “Going to be a lovely filly in time.”
