2021 George Ryder Stakes Review: What The Jockeys Said
March 28, 2021
Think it over stamped himself as a star of the future when taking out the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill yesterday.
Glen Boss (Think It Over – Winner):
“I really have a soft spot for this horse. I got on him over 12 months ago and I said to Kerry ‘just keep sticking with this horse and go about your business. There’s something about this horse and I think he’s going to be a really good horse for you.”
“This preparation he’s has come back a lot better horse, more in his mind. He goes to the barriers now very calm, he’s in control of everything he’s doing now.”
James McDonald (Dreamforce – 2nd)
“Disappointing to lose by that margin. Tried his guts out.”
Nash Rawiller (Avilius – 3rd)
“Super run. Hit the line really well. If the track was heavy he wins.”
Rachel King (Cascadian – 4th):
“Massive run. Will only improve from it.”

Jason Collett (Gem Song – 5th)
“Just a bit keen from the mid-section. Loomed but just told late.”
Josh Parr (Samadoubt – 6th)
“Great run from him. He’s close to being back to his best.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Dalasan – 7th)
“Good run. We just got momentum lost when we hit a flat spot and I got him up and going when he had no room so he ran well.”
Tommy Berry (Funstar – 8th)
“The race wasn’t run to suit. They went very quick early which had her off the bit and then they pulled up mid-race then sprinted home quick. Her run was credible.”
Sam Clipperton (Star Of The Seas – 9th)
“I had a lovely run from the barrier. Quickened from the 400m to the 200m and then that was it.”
Hugh Bowman (Kolding – 10th)
“No luck.”
Regan Bayliss (Mizzy – 11th)
“She needs to get back on top of the ground.”

Tim Clark (Dawn Passage – 12th)
“He was disappointing.”
John Allen (Junipal – Last)
“Only fair but will take a lot of improvement from it.”
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.”
