Find out what the beaten jockeys made of their runs in the Group One Colgate Optic White George Main Stakes at Royal Randwick.

Hugh Bowman (Winx): “She has done it again, she is such a delight to be a part of and I have really run out of things to say, she is such a magical horse and she just never fails to get the job done.”

Blake Shinn (Happy Clapper): “Gallant effort, he travelled really well, I think he knew Winx was in that race today, he gave something a bit extra than he has done before. At the half mile I felt like the winner, the 400m he felt the winner. It’s very humbling to run second to her. She’s the people’s champ. Full credit to my horse and Pat Webster, he was very brave today.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Ecuador): “He raced very one-paced today, so we’ll just wait and see how he pulls up because he is a lot better than that.”

Josh Parr (Red Excitement): “I was under pressure a long way from home today, unsure the reasons why.”

Michael Walker (Mccreery): “Really good run, just rode him quiet and he hit the line very strong, bit of cut in the track and over further, he’ll be hard to beat next time.”

Glyn Schofield (Mackintosh): “He ran well, he was up on the speed and whacked away. Little bit of cut in the ground would suit him.”

Tye Angland (Heavens Above): “She went well, they just went too quick for her in the middle stages. It got me off the bit a long way from home, to get her to perform at her best she has to travel up and only get off the bridle in the last 300m. I was off the bit next to Winx at the half-mile, I was concerned for her actually, but I thought my girl stuck on well.”

Brenton Avdulla (Foxplay): “She’s terrific, probably almost the best mare in the country because I don’t call Winx a mare, she’s a freak.”
