1st – MR STUNNING – Karis Teetan
“He had a lovely trip through the race and I’m just so happy. It’s incredible. I’ve never felt like this. It’s the first time I’ve heard the crowd shouting like this. I just knew when I pressed the button he was going to go.”

2nd – D B PIN – Sam Clipperton
“I just needed that luck and unfortunately the luck enabled Karis to get a neck start on me and my horse is held a neck at the line. I had a lovely run and the race was run to suit me other than I was beaten. I am very proud of my horse and he has run an absolute cracker on his only second run up after 11 months off. My horse was gallant – it was a great training performance by John Size to get him there in that order and I must say well done to Karis Teetan.”

3rd – BEAT THE CLOCK – Ryan Moore
“That was a big run from Beat The Clock – he finished off the race well.”

4th – LITTLE GIANT – Zac Purton
“It was a very good run.”

5th – BORN IN CHINA – Douglas Whyte
“He never knows how to run a bad race – he was in the prize money again so all good.”

6th – IVICTORY – Christophe Lemaire
“He was a bit keen – he gave the impression that he would run better, but he struggled in the last 100 metres.”

7th – LIM’S CRUISER – Hugh Bowman
“He travelled great throughout and picked up well but was no match for the class.”

8th – FINE NEEDLE – Yuga Kawada
“Japanese are not used to waiting so long in the gate. This was bad luck.”

9th – HOT KING PRAWN – Joao Moreira
“He did not race his best today.”

10th – WINNER’S WAY – Silvestre de Sousa
“He ran good – he just did not have much room in the last 200 metres.”

11th – SIR DANCEALOT – Gerald Mosse
“He is a lovely horse, but they went very quick. He does not have that speed – he needs at least seven furlongs, maybe a mile will be better for him. They went too quick for him.”
