2021 Golden Slipper Review: What The Jockeys Said

Tommy Berry secured his third Golden Slipper when Stay Inside showed a great turn of foot to beat an eye catching Anamoe.

Tommy Berry (Stay Inside – Winner)

“I rode him last Tuesday morning and Michael called me on the way home in the car and said ‘I’ve seen you happier after a piece of work.”

“I said ‘I don’t know what you want me to say, he worked good, he just didn’t blow me away.”

“I rode him this Tuesday morning, I didn’t even have to say anything, I think the smile said enough. It’s just amazing what a week can do in racing with these two-year-olds.”

“Going to the gates he was ready to go.”

Rachel King (Anamoe – 2nd)

“He’s a superstar in the making. Draws a gate he wins.”

Damien Oliver (Ingratiating – 3rd)

“He took a bit of riding to get into stride today and into a position. We had a good run throughout. Mid-race it got a bit tight there but after that we got a pretty good run through. He ran admirably.”

Nash Rawiller (Four Moves Ahead – 4th)

“We just missed our spot early in the race then steadied to get in. We followed the winner. She ran very good being a tough little filly. Will only improve.”

Tom Marquand (Captivant – 5th)

“He’s run super. Hit the line really hard. Looking forward to seeing him up in trip.”

Luke Currie (Artorius – 6th)

“He ran well. He’s still pretty raw. He was slow away again. He didn’t turn properly running off the track but his last 100 yards were good.”

Hugh Bowman (Profiteer – 7th)

“It was all too much for him.”

James McDonald (Home Affairs – 8th)

“He’s a beautiful colt. Will be a lovely 3yo.”

Jason Collett (Mallory – 9th):

“We got flattened at the 700m which didn’t help our chances.”

Kathy O’Hara (Rocket Tiger – 10th)

“Gallant effort. He just had a tough run from the barrier. Good effort.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Shaquero – 11th)

“We got back further than we thought. We got some nice cover. Just wasn’t able to pick up in that ground. He’ll make a nice 3yo on top of the ground.”

Jean Van Overmeire (Glistening – 12th)

“She ran good. Lost her footing a touch in the ground.”

John Allen (Queen Of Wizardry – 13th):

“Her run was OK. She should take good improvement from that.”

Mark Zahra (Kalashnikov – 14th)

“Needs a firm track but probably not good enough.”

Tim Clark (Swift Witness – Last)

“She’s probably come to the end of it. Had a long prep.”
