Find out what the beaten jockeys made of their runs in the Group One Champagne Stakes at Randwick.

Damian Lane (The Mission): “That felt great. He is a very tricky horse to ride and having ridden him in the Sires' I really learnt a lot from him and it was great to get the win today.”

Hugh Bowman (Invader): “He just couldn’t accelerate on the inferior ground. Acquitted himself well considering.”

Damien Oliver (Eshtiraak): “Travelled well, didn’t really handle the ground when I let him down and struggled a bit this way of going.”

Blake Shinn (Ace High): “Good honest run, he’s a staying type that will appreciate further.”

Tommy Berry (Reflectivity): “Disappointing, maybe the track, I’m not sure.”

James Doyle (Aberro): “We were on the back foot from the start, but I was really pleased with the way he ran for a horse at just his third start. It was good.”

Craig Williams (One More Honey): “At the top of the straight I thought we were going to finish last, but she showed her great courageous spirit, she fought all the way to the wire. She’s going to be an exciting filly in the future.”

Glyn Schofield (Whispered Secret): “She backed up well from last week, good tough run.”

Kerrin Mcevoy (Memento): “Just struggled in the ground, she’ll improve more in six months.”

Brenton Avdulla (Nashville Skyline): “Not up to them at the moment but I think she’s a nice enough filly for connections in time.”
