Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $1,000,000 Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill Garden.
Josh Parr (Revengeance) “It is fantastic. It’s like superhero stuff. What a beautiful animal. Beautiful colt. Prepared to perfection for me today. He was a sit and steer job.
“[1200m] won’t be a worry at all. Interestingly my first encounter with this horse was the Breeders’ Plate. There was so much education and work put into this horse before I arrived on his back. And I’m appreciative of that. I’m respectful of the situation I’ve found myself in.
“Speaking of his ability, I can’t speak highly enough. He’s improved each time I’ve sat on him now. His action seems to be ironing out. You can see it in his first trial. He looked like a kangaroo coming down the straight. Today he flattened out really well. Can’t wait to see him in March.”
Revengeance wins Golden Gift
Zac Lloyd (Spicy Miss): “A very nice filly. Will take good mental improvement from that day out.”
Regan Bayliss (Plagiarism): “Terrific run. Had to offset the wide barrier. Do work in the early stages. Gave a good kick and took a smart one to beat him. Will be a nice one for the Inglis Millenium.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Defensemen): “Next prep for him.”
Tyler Schiller (Anthropoid): “Great run. Feels like a lovely 14/1600m horse to me. Today I was very happy with the way he savaged the line.”
Nash Rawiller (Artemex): “He is a nice horse. I don’t think we saw the best of him. Travelled up behind right where he needed to be, following the winner. Felt like he had it there but just couldn’t give it to me today on the hard track.”
Chad Lever (Rapid Progress): “Just probably come to the end of it. Probably had enough.”
Tommy Berry (The Next Episode): “He is a lovely colt. Just happening a bit too quick for him at the moment.”
Tom Sherry (Threesome): “Lovely horse. He will keep improving."
Cieren Fallon (Persian Wonder): “Very happy. A nice horse for the future. Needs to go up in trip and is quite raw.”
Ashley Morgan (Thrill Hunter): "Probably just wants the paddock. Will be a nice filly in the Autumn when she fills out.”
Alysha Collett (Farcolo): “It was a nice run. A good learning curve for her.”
