Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Angel’s Flight – “Happy to get the win against a very good group of horses. Highly Arrogant was on her A game today which I was expecting to see a valiant effort in her performance. On a fast track you always have to look over your shoulders for the Fast Finishers to come flying late. Hats off to Inca for a terrific run with Masked Horsey, that was a gallant effort. Thanks again to Hareeba for sponsoring this cup once again for its 37th running, a fan favorite. 

Others: – Bristol Turks – “Only just managed to get in the money in the end but still happy with the run. Congratulations to Angel on a great win.”

Others: – DR Stables – “Very pleased with the second place finish. Masked Horsey gave it his all but it just wasn’t good enough too beat Highly Arrogant. Congrats to the winner.”

Others : – Smogville – “Hmmm…I forgot about the time of the race and read your mail first! Although, I doubt I would have watched it. I’m very happy with the result. To win that amount of money from one of the lowest rated runners is nice. There’s still a huge margin to make up before I even contemplate taking on the winner. I’m up for a rematch in the Magic Mile of S48.”

Others: – Desert Wind Stables – “3rd is about what I expected especially as the conditions from the heat meant fitness was slightly lower than normal. Very impressed to see Angel getting a needs space horse to perform so well, particularly on a fast track.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Dixon Racing – “Brainteaser did everything expected of him in a very tough race, relieved to get through unscathed as he was in poor health earlier in the week. Thanks again to Hareeba for sponsoring!”

Others: – Bristol Turks  “As expected it was a very competitive race. I’m happy with Paranoid‘s run, wasn’t expecting anything more really. Congratulations to Pedantic on a great win.”

Others: – Manor Park Stud – “Congrats to the winner, far too good today. Happier with my runners effort today as improved on the Slipper but the jockey still used far too much of the horse early so was left flat footed come the business end of the race.”

Others: – WWESTUD – “Not much to say except sick of running minor placings to the kings of this game that dominate the major races. Did you know the winners horse was injured 4 days out from this race yet it still won hows that work mine get injured they are had it for weeks..”

Others: – Priceless Speedsters – Dogface did us proud today with 3rd in a tough field. Hats off to DR, Brainteaser proved his worth pulling away in the final quarter. Congratulations to Beadman on 2nd. See you guys/gals down the road.”

Others: – Snowey’s Champs – “I tried some new race instructions that did not work as I had hoped to be much higher. Unfortunately Rhubarb now retires. I will miss her.”

Post race comments:

Winner: – Happy Skipper Stable – “Rain or shine this big filly shows her championship colors and has made Happy Skipper Stable very proud. Her competitive spirit really shone through today with every stride and especially when she stretched her neck out for a close win. I’m happy with her win against a tough field of mudlarks. Well done to all the participants.”

Others: – DR Stables – “Wilco Blitz is definitely not a sprinter. Probably should have been more aggressive with her. Congrats to Happy Skipper and Pharoah Hanover.”

Others: – woodchuckers – “Ran as expected he has talent a bit of fun a good 3rd good return and move onto what next maybe a long medium of short we will see.”

Others: – Dixon Racing – “Very exciting race as it came down to the wire. Dynasty was gallant in defeat but the winner was simply too good on the day. Dynasty will continue with her preparation for the Epona at the end of the season.”

Winner: – Manor Park Stud – “Came into the final hoping for a top 3-5 as expected a few to be too strong with superior ground and distance xp. Anytime you see a GI runner in a restricted race you know it’ll be tough as he took home the cup last season. Plan was always to try finish strong and hope to outstay the rest, worked out perfectly with probably Tuna‘s finest effort coming in his final race.”

Others: – The Willow’s Elite – “A very competitive race and Congrats to Manor Park. I am happy with the place money as the ground dried out and did not suit Boystown.”

Others: – Bristol Turks – “This was a good race. Always did better than I expected, wasn’t too far away at the end. Congratulations to Manorpark, very nice win.”
