Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $750,000 Heineken Metropolitan (2400m) at Randwick.
Hugh Bowman (Montefilia): “She is a mighty mare. I have had a wonderful association with her. Twelve months ago we were unexpected winners of the Flight Stakes and she has gone on to achieve at the highest level since then and also run consistently."
Montefilia getting the verdict over Entente
Josh Parr (Spirit Ridge): “Disappointing.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Quick Thinker): “He was just even paced today.”
Nash Rawiller (Dashing Willoughby): “He didn’t really relax too well in the run. Ran his race before the straight.”
Tommy Berry (Angel Of Truth): “Got the right run. A bit disappointing.”
Regan Bayliss (Warning): “Got back in a stop start race. Could never get something to take him into the race.”
James McDonald (Attorney): “Just think he hasn’t pulled up that well.”
Glen Boss (Le Don De Vie): “He was set a pretty big task and wasn’t up to it.”
Jason Collett (She's Ideel): “Travelled pretty well during the run. Just got left flat footed when they sprinted and just battled away the last part of the straight.”
Rachel King (Harpo Marx): “Massive run. Big step up in grade but he handled it really well.”
Tim Clark (Entente): “He’s run out of his skin. Shame he’s just missed the bob. Couldn’t be prouder of him.”
Jeff Penza (Great House): “From the wide draw had to go back two or three more pairs than was ideal. He settled very nicely today. Tracked up well before the turn. Stoked him up. Hit the line really well. Top effort.”
James Innes (Hush Writer): “Beautiful run. Had every chance but as soon as there is a bit of water in the ground he’s no good.”
Kathy O'Hara (No Compromise): “Honest run from him this afternoon.”
Alysha Collett (Charms Star): “Ran a super race. Was doing her best work over the last 100m.”
Robbie Dolan (Luncies): “He will be very competitive in a Sydney Cup.”
Andrew Adkins (Zeyrek): “Great run. Just drawn soft and was stuck down in the worst going. His effort was great. Still learning his craft. Was a very good run.”
