Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $750,000 Group Two The Agency Villiers Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.
Regan Bayliss (Brutality): "Very explosive. He’s had the perfect preparation, he really enjoys the back up this horse, trained by the master Joe Pride, he knows how to get them peaking on the big occasion.”
“He was spot on today, he dropped seven and a half kilos in the weights. I was a little bit worried when the track was drying out, but if anything, he showed a better turn of foot on top of the ground today. We had a beautiful run in transit and he put them away.”
Brutality winning the Villiers Stakes
Josh Parr (Bandersnatch): “Not a bad effort.”
Jason Collett (Gem Song): “Tough run when couldn’t get cover from the wide gate.”
Hugh Bowman (So Si Bon): “Got a lovely run from an awkward draw. Just needed the track a bit softer.”
Glyn Schofield (Ranier): “I enjoyed a nice run just back of midfield but he didn’t take me into the race.”
Tim Clark (Ellsberg): “Excellent run. Just a shame Anthony decided to run Lease in the Villiers instead of the midweek where he was probably better suited.”
Tommy Berry (Order Again): “He warmed up well late.”
Jay Ford (Stockman): “He is going terrific this fella. Probably not quite as sharp as a few of the others. Attacked the line well.”
Tom Sherry (Attorney): “Huge run. Horse is flying. Race wasn’t run to suit. Will be hard to beat in the Summer Cup.”
Jenny Duggan (Fun Fact): “Great run. Just ran out of room in the straight.”
Rachel King (Criaderas): “Massive run. Obviously got back where he normally does but charged home really well.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Steely): “Just got cluttered up when needing to be building. His run wasn’t too bad.”
Robbie Dolan (Exoboom): “Ran very well. Just got tired the last 50m.”
James Innes (Grove Ferry): “Landed a lot closer today. Tempo suited him. I thought he got home well.”
Brock Ryan (Kirwan's Lane): “Ran extremely well. Just had no luck in running. Happy with the way he went.”
Tyler Schiller (Lease): “Went really well today. Probably just came to the end of his prep. Just needs to come back in grade a bit.”
