Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the $2,000,000 The Kosciuszko (1200m) at Royal Randwick.

Tyler Schiller (Clear Thinking) “Such a lovely progressive mare. The Messara team and Leah have done a great job there, so I can’t take too much credit.

“Had a great run in transit from the bad draw and she dashed when she needed to. She was probably more brave than me, I pointed her in the right direction and the speed was really genuine which helped.

“I tracked up to the corner and just ran into a bit of dead ends but to her credit she’s got a great turn of foot so she didn’t need room down the outside. Paul said she can lay in under pressure but she didn’t get a chance to today. She has just dashed through and hit the front and put them away nicely.”

Clear Thinking wins the Kosciuszko

Zac Lloyd (Gallant Star): “He went enormous. Great training effort by Brett to get him here first up. Gee he tries hard. He was fighting back late. He is a lovely horse.”

Jason Collett (Chidiac): “Far better run today. Hit the front at the furlong. Winner was pretty good.”

Tim Clark (Front Page): “I thought he was really brave in defeat.”

Zac Purton (Bandi's Boy): “Out of control.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Compelling Truth): “That is not him. I’m sure he’ll have a spell now and be back better next prep.”

Christian Reith (Melody Again): “She ran well. I just felt 1200m is too short for her now. Will take great improvement off that run.”

Michael Dee (Golden Decade): “Track if firming up now. Appreciate getting is toe in.”

Tommy Berry (Boston Rocks): “Just got held up when we needed to move into the race. Finished off well. A very honest horse and ran up to his efforts.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Lisztomania): “He ran fantastic. He is in great form. Finished with a great finish. Credit to the team.

Billy Owen (So Magnificent): No comment

Chad Schofield (Highway Strip): “He has had a long prep. Raced flat.”

Craig Williams (Without Parallel): “In that top competitive race she acquitted herself really well from the draw.”
