Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 1 $1,000,000 The Agency Randwick Guineas (1600m) at Royal Randwick.

Luke Nolen (Sheza Alibi) “I took the obscure route. Getting rubbed out for three weeks and having to ride at 54.5kgs first day back. I know I’ve done it now, but she’s more than worth it.

“When it was a soft run behind the hardest to beat (Autumn Boy), dragged us everywhere we needed to be and she grew wings at the furlong. She’s an exceptional horse.

“Every time you get close to a milestone your form seems to evade you sometimes. 2,000 (wins) and a Group 1 winner in Sydney feels pretty good.

“We’ve stuck it out a long time Peter and myself, it goes a long way to show the people we are. Resilient, forgiving and loyal. Three words I would never mind being described for me ever and the two of us have got it in spades. Katherine (Coleman) is a late addition but she’s a welcome one. She hasn’t given me a spray yet but I’m sure it’s coming.”

Sheza Alibi wins the Randwick Guineas

James McDonald (Autumn Boy): “I thought he was fantastic. He tried hard, was gallant.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Attica): “He has run really well. Just struggled to take the bridle up from the 600m to 300m. Once he gets to the 300m he starts to get going so he just needs distance.”

Tommy Berry (Ninja): “He was honest but he was keen without cover over that trip today. So maybe next prep 6/7 furlongs because I do believe he is better ridden off the speed.”

Jason Collett (Rivellino): “He stuck on really well. He found that tempo too strong through the middle. Was chasing a long way out. Wasn’t too bad late. Maybe looking for further now.”

Rachel King (Green Spaces): “Really pleased with him. Had to go back from the slightly tricky gate but pleased with how he hit the line today.”

Chad Schofield (Providence): “He will improve from the run.”

Nash Rawiller (Decorum): No comment

Alysha Collett (Dusty Bay): “He has his wins in him. They were a little bit strong today.”
