Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $750,000 Darley Flight Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick.

Tommy Berry (Apocalyptic) : “What she does at home is quite scary. I can’t wait for the Autumn with her as she still has some filling out to do and is still quite raw. But she helps you so much because she puts herself into a spot. I was so proud of her.

“She is one of the better fillies I have ridden and stamped herself as that today. Just so versatile, you can put her anywhere in a race. She is so quiet.

“My Racehorse and other syndication businesses are what it is all about by bringing people into racing. It is a pleasure to be a part of.

“To do it for Michael. We’ve been a great team for a long while. We work so well together. He is a great trainer who takes his time. You can speak so openly with him. If you ride one badly we move on pretty quickly. A big secret to becoming a successful team.

“She’s a big frame girl. She still gets a little hot before a race but during it she is so relaxed. It is exciting, I’m lost for words. I think she could be something special.”

Apocalyptic wins Flight Stakes

Jason Collett (Within The Law): “Far better today. Was able to use the better barrier. Good to see her back on track.”

Zac Lloyd (Karinska): “She was fantastic. Acquitted herself very well. Will be an even better 4yo. Probably needs to strengthen up a bit. Just out on her feet the last 50m.”

Dylan Gibbons (Artistic Venture): “Really good run. Just didn’t suit the sit and sprint shape of the race. Needs some room to build up.”

Ethan Brown (Tupakara): “She just didn’t muster underneath me early. We were forced to go back. Race wasn’t run to suit. But I still would have liked to see her pick up a bit late.”

Nash Rawiller (Queen Of Clubs): “She sucked back there at the start so she has given them a start. I don’t think she liked that ground at all. I felt like she jarred up quite badly. See how she pulls up.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Enviable): “That was a nice run by her. Had to go back from the gate. She was a nice filly hitting the line. Will be lovely in six months time. Whatever she is doing now is a bonus.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Reflect): “She is a nice filly. Maybe a softer track would help her. It will come in time for her.”

Tim Clark (Magenta Skies): “Obviously the tempo wasn’t strong and she probably didn’t quite adapt to that as well as some others. She still found the line OK. Will make a nice filly in time.”

Reece Jones (Lighthouse Lass): “Obviously a step up in grade for her. I thought she acquitted herself well. Just need to come back and learn to relax a little bit more."
