KrisFlyer International Sprint jockeys' quotes

Felix Coetzee – (Rocket Man) – 1st – “He was sensational. It's a privilege to ride him. I took my time with him, when they pushed up inside him, I was never worried. These champions help you, they tell you what to do. He had a lovely jump and took me into the race. I'm just the guy who sits on top.”

Jose Verenzuela (Eclair Fastpass) – 2nd – “He broke well, and gave me a great run. The winner is a champion, but I was very happy with my horse's run.”

Saimee Jumaat (Perfect Pins) – 3rd – “It was a big buzz and a great result for Singapore. He surprised me a little. I thought Sacred Kingdom and Green Birdie would be the ones chasing Rocket Man and here I was in a photo for second with Eclair Fastpass. He ran out of his skin.

Vlad Duric (Ghozi) – 4th - My horse ran very well, but it was very rough in the straight, and he met trouble there. I should have finished second.

Joao Moreira (Powerful Ruler) – 5th - He ran very well, he met a little trouble in the race, but I was happy with his effort.

Glen Boss (Sacred Kingdom) – 6th - “There were no excuses, he had a perfect run, but there was no finish today.”

Brett Prebble (Green Birdie) – 7th - “The draw counted against him. He had to give them too big a start. He did try hard and really he wasn't all that far off second in a tight finish.”

Steven Arnold (Capablanca) - 8th - “He ran really well but Rocket Man was in a league of his own. There was a group of us there for second and there is life in the old boy still.”

Danny Beasley (Better Be The One) – 9th - “He raced upside down to how he normally does, as we tried to take advantage of his draw. He wanted to over race and lay out. He's had a long preparation and probably come to the end.”

Royston Ffrench (Happy Dubai) – 10th - “Unfortunately he just wasn't good enough on the day. Rocket Man is a great champion.”
