Here are comments from the jockeys in the Group 2 Rich Hill Mile
1st – Habana – Warren Kennedy
Courageous run. I thought I had been beat on the line but he’s stuck his head out. He loves this course and he’s so courageous. He doesn’t win by much but gets the job done.
2nd – Saint Bathans – Ulrika Holmquist
Superb run by my mount. Brave effort.
3rd – El Vencedor – Joe Doyle
He run another cracker. We’ll have another good day with him.
4th – Arby – Ashvin Goindasamy
Very unlucky run.
5th –Dusty Road – Tegan Newman
He’s run a really nice race.
6th – Cognito – Niranjan Palmer
He’s a honest horse. He tried his best but looks like he’s looking for more ground.
7th – Uderzo – Masa Hashizume
Settled beautifully and kicked on well just felt it the last 50 metres. Very good run. Will be a nice horse in spring.
8th – Riodini – Jason Collett
Raced very keen. Not much room in the straight but did stick on considering.
9th – Zecora – Lynsey Satherley
She wants a firm track. With her first run over a mile, she’ll improve.
10th – Lingjun Xiongfeng – Billy Jacobson
I don’t think he enjoyed the going. He kept changing legs around the bend
11th – Wessex – Kozzi Asano
Got in a nice rhythm but no kick in the straight.
Last – Aris Aris – Matthew Cameron
Found it a little far. Maybe drop back to 1200 or 1400 next time.
