Jockeys reports to the media after the Chairman’s Sprint Prize.

1st – Beat The Clock – Joao Moreira
“I was extremely happy. I would say the race actually went perfect for him. Rattan wasn’t giving up. He was dashing home and made it very hard but fortunately we have a very brave horse. He tries his best and once again he’s done it.”
 
2nd - Rattan - Chad Schofield
"We were in front which was a first for him but he travelled sweetly and controlled the race. He showed an extremely good turn of foot but a better horse won on the day."
 
3rd - Little Giant - Vincent Ho
"He relaxed well and got a bit tired in the straight, otherwise he would have been fighting for second, I think."
 
4th - Santa Ana Lane - Hugh Bowman
"Well I don't think we saw the best of him but take nothing away from the winner, he was too good today."
 
5th - Pingwu Spark - Derek Leung
"That was the best he's felt all season and he ran very well."
 
6th – Nac Venus – Yutaka Take
“She was too relaxed today and didn’t have gate speed but bounced back well to take a good spot. She held on till the 200m pole but didn’t have anything left at the finish.”
 
7th – Winner's Way - Karis Teetan
"He finished where his form suggested he would."
 
8th - Viddora - Joe Bowditch
"She hasn't had the ideal week but to be honest she just raced a bit flat." 
 
9th - Enzo's Lad - James McDonald 
"He just struggled today."
