Chairman’s Sprint Prize - Post-race jockey quotes  

INVINCIBLE SAGE - Hugh Bowman

He is up to top class now.

I think a rain-affected track may have assisted his performance, but even on a dry track I think we would have seen a winning performance today.  

CALIFORNIA SPANGLE - Brenton Avdulla

He ran terrific.

We got driven hard by the Japanese horse and then Derek grabbed me.  

MUGEN - Blake Shinn

He was super.

First time in a Group 1, a bit of a rise in class, but he’s a lovely horse and he was a pleasure to ride.  

FLYING ACE - Zac Purton

He ran well, it was a good effort.  

HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE - James McDonald

It was a really good run.  

LUCKY WITH YOU - Andrea Atzeni

He ran well for a long way, he just doesn’t like the wet track.  

VICTOR THE WINNER - Derek Leung

We got taken on at the start.  

LITTLE BROSE - Karis Teetan

He ran okay.

He’s inexperienced but I think he’ll be okay next season in Hong Kong.  

BELIEVING - Harry Bentley

She was slightly slow away and then just couldn’t get going on the ground. She was never really comfortable.  

SUNRISE RONALDO - Damian Lane

The pace was too fast for him.  

MAD COOL - Ryusei Sakai

He didn’t respond well at the final turn and didn’t run his race.
