Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $1,000,000 Inglis Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Regan Bayliss (Shangri La Express): “He’s a super colt. He’s put the writing on the wall in both of these runs. It’s a very hot day here today - he absolutely melted in the mounting enclosure and again behind the barriers. On of them pulled a shoe and he really got hot and bothered. To overcome that, and the wide barrier, was a credit to him.

“All credit to Gai and Adrian, their horses are absolutely bomb-proof. You put them into a spot then when you ask for them they are tough on the line.

“I’m convinced we haven’t seen the best of this colt. He does everything that you ask of him. He looks like a finished product now but he is not, he’s open to further improvement - we’re going to see a really nice colt in the autumn.”

Shangri La Express wins the Golden Gift

Chad Schofield (Rue De Royale): “Very good run. Raw but very classy.”

Tommy Berry (Volatile): “Did everything right today. Got into a nice rhythm. Would have liked more room earlier but in saying that the winner was pretty dominant.”

Nash Rawiller (Lamentum): “Nice horse - wide gate and bit soon.”

Dylan Gibbons (Scampi): “First half of the race worked out beautifully and would have liked to have stayed near the inside but couldn't do so. Hard to pick them up from there. He’s gone enormous.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Climactic): “Very nice colt.”

Tom Sherry (That's Outstanding): “I copped a bad bump but he’s just not quite ready yet.”

Brock Ryan (Thunderous): “He ran OK. Just needs to strengthen up a bit in time.”

Koby Jennings (War Council): “Finished to the line very well. Just needs time.”

Jason Collett (Miss Judas): “She was keen early. Had a nice drag into it but wasn’t able to finish it off.”

Jay Ford (Art's Alive): “She ran OK. Very inexperienced with a lot to learn.”

Rachel King (Betta Being Single): “She had to do a lot of work early and just probably stay the 11[00]m.”

Reece Jones (Petawawa): “Nice improvement second up and starting to feel her shins a little bit. Looking for a little bit of a break.”

Zac Lloyd (Trafalgar Square): “Fantastic run. She is only little but very mighty. She was very game to stay on as long as she did considering the amount of work she did early.”
