Winning Trainer: Peter Snowden
"She's been tremendous all prep, so nobody could begrudge her the win. She kept putting her hand up every start, so I'm really proud of her. Tom rode her an absolute peach today, I think it's his first Group 1 so I'm so pleased for him and the mare. I'm thrilled for Tom, he came up here yesterday to get ready for this race so I knew he wouldn't be late today. I asked him when he was going home, and he said he wasn't sure!"
"There were no half measures today, she won dominantly. She kept getting beaten short half heads, it was a tremendous run last week in the Dane Ripper, I think this is her 11th run this campaign so huge credit to her."
Winning Jockey: Tom Sherry
"It's been a long time coming for me. The stars aligned today, and I can't thank Peter and his team enough. It's been a long road and it's been a tough year, but moments like this make it all worthwhile. When I came up outside Abounding, I got the jitters and went full bore.
"She's had an unbelievable prep. She's kept protruding, even though she hasn't won she's been super consistent. I'm so proud of this mare and it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Things like this don't happen to people like me, so I'm delighted."
"I've worked really hard to get here. Winning a Group 1 for a lad from Ireland is a very big deal for me. I came here with 80 rides under my belt and rode 100 winners in my first season, thanks to Mark Newnham. He was like a father figure to me and taught me so much. From there, it was a huge step from an apprentice to a senior rider. It took a lot of understanding and a lot of understanding to make the transition. I'm lucky I've got a beautiful fiancee and a great family behind me."
Beaten Jockeys:
Robbie Dolan (Semana): "That was probably one of her best runs for a long time. I got all the luck from the wide barrier, the splits came and she quickened up well but the track was probably a touch form for her. If she keeps prgressing, you should see her back to her best.
Tim Clark (Grinzinger Belle): "She was below her best today so hopefully there are no issues."
Regan Bayliss (Konasana): "The drying track just worked against us, she got a lovely run but she prefers softer tracks."
Damien Thornton (Olentia): "She ran really well, we just had to deal with a bit of traffic."
James McDonald (Firestorm): "She's run well, but it's been hard to make ground on this firm track."
Jordan Childs (Coeur Volante): "She didn't have any luck from the gate which affected her ability to finish off her race."
Andrew Mallyon (Bubba's Bay): "She was really brave, we just got impeded with 150 to go and should have finished much closer."
Jake Bayliss (Abounding): "She's been very brave in defeat. She finally got her chance today from a nice draw, and she showed what she can do. The winner was too good for us today, but she was fabulous."
Rachel King (Exotique Miss): "She's run a super race. She's been racing consistently all carnival, she stepped up to Group 1 grade and was outstanding again."
Billy Egan (Coco Sun): "Once she gets out to a mile and more, you should be in for a good prep."
Angela Jones (Floozie): "She probably just had to do a little more than we would've liked, and never got cover. She didn't settle as well as she usually does and it probably told late."
Jason Collett (Infancy): "She's run great. The barrier just made it difficult, but I was really happy.
Nikita Beriman (Adiella): "
Tom Sherry (Tashi): See above
Ryan Maloney (Zaszou): "She didn't want any part of the firm conditions and was unable to let down."
Chad Schofield (Coco Jamboo): "We got her out the gates but we had to take her back from that gate and she didn't finish off as well as she can."
Kerrin McEvoy (Arctic Glamour): "She had a wide run in transit which told on her in the end."
Tommy Berry (El Morzillo): "We had a lovely run on the back of the eventual winner. We just got dragged down pretty badly coming round the home turn, and I thought she was going to come down. She struggled to recover from that."
Rachel King (Exotique Miss): "
Billy Egan (Coco Sun): "
