Inside the Inglis Sires’: What the beaten jockeys had to say

Hear what the beaten jockeys out of the Group 1 Inglis Sires’ had to say.

Tim Clark (Fireball): “Ran extremely well. A lovely colt. Just the draw made it tricky for him. Gallant in defeat.”

Zac Lloyd (Tornado Valley): “He was a bit one-paced in that ground.”

Craig Newitt (Alibaba): “He ran a creditable race. There was a bit of a scrimmage on the corner, he snuck through and followed the winner through. Just didn’t quite handle the ground.”

Jason Collett (Paradoxium): “He’s done well but the barrier, he needs softer runs than that.”

Damian Lane (Zambales): “The horse ran huge. Made an error of judgement to cut the corner. Didn’t get a run through. Then he was held up and got home well late.”

Ethan Brown (Rich On Bubbles): “It’s all come a bit quick for him. Will come back a better horse after a spell.”

Sam Clipperton (Outspan): “Things didn’t go his way and ran accordingly.”

Tommy Berry (Am I Dreaming): “Struggled today.”

Zac Purton (Dr Hook): “Just locked his jaw going into the first corner. It was a bit of a mess after that. It rattled him.”

Ben Melham (Streisand): “She has done a tremendous job this prep. I feel she has come to the end of the preparation. Was a little keen early. Her run ended at the time.”

Regan Bayliss (Miss Chanel): “Not many as tough as her. A gallant effort. She just copped a check at the start and was a bit further back. She had a lovely uninterrupted run into it and was strong through the line.”

Rachel King (Rachini): “Flew out of the gates better than I thought she was going to. Just the last 100m when I let her really go, she sank in that track.”

And… James McDonald on the winner, Campione D’italia :

“He’s a sensational horse, he’s been a work in progressive and Mr Harvey told me, make sure I keep my hands down, don’t want that horse throwing his head.”

“He’s beautifully bred and is a horse with a real future, I’m sure he’ll run the 1600m right out.”

“Great to see him put it together today, we’ve always had a big opinion of him. Chris and the team have done such a good job to keep him improving with each start.”
