Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $500,000 Little Dance (1600m) at Royal Randwick.

Tyler Schiller (Dream Runner): “I couldn’t have the ‘big’ one, so I had to settle for the ‘little’ one. But it’s great to do it for Keith. He’s a super trainer and the horse is a really genuine boy so it was good to get the win today.”

“He was very brave to still fight on after that, he copped a bit of a bump. He had a really tough run the other day. I was confident, when I saw the draw, he was going to get a great run then it was just trying to find a run at the top of the straight and we got one.”

William Pike (Solar Apex): “Very good run. I just couldn’t find one to track up on the bend.”

Josh Parr (Steely): “Terrific effort. Can’t fault him.”

Brenton Avdulla (Dr Drill): “Actually got a pretty good cart into the race but didn’t let go on that ground.”

Jeff Penza (Five Kingdom): “Had to do a bit of work from the wide gate. Moved up well on the home turn. Just found wanting up the straight.”

Tom Sherry (Tampering): “Found the ground too firm for him today.”

Chad Schofield (Philipsburg): “Should have finished a bit closer. Got checked at a vital stage.”

Regan Bayliss (The Ritz): “Hit a bit of a flat spot and couldn’t get into it after that.”

Dylan Gibbons (Ita): “Went super. Had a nice spot three wide with cover. Probably just ran out of gas.”

Kathy O'Hara (Two Big Fari): “Very good effort. Tried his hardest. Probably just a couple of lengths off that grade.”

Reece Jones (Point Counterpoint): “Great little run in behind them. Peeled off halfway down the straight and attacked the line well.”

Andrew Adkins (Olympic Theatre): “Ran a creditable race. Would prefer a bit more cut in the ground and 2000m.”

Zac Lloyd (Shameonus): “Tough run from the gate.”

Serg Lisnyy (Beckford): “First up at 1600m but was coming on the line.”

Alysha Collett (Outback Gladiator): “He has run super today. Had to go back to last from barrier 19 and only been beaten two lengths.”

Ashleigh Stanley (Not Negotiating): “She had a pretty tough run. Was trapped deep the whole way. A bit tougher company down here.”

Noriyuki Masuda (Jacksprat): “A bit too good for him.”

Ellen Hennessy (She's All In): “A little bit out of her grade. Doesn’t have the turn of foot.”

Jay Ford (Invincible Dash): “He ran a cheeky race for a long shot.”
