Post race comments from:
Winner: – Dixon Racing – “After losing to Red’s Haku the last 2 cup races, we had to pull out all the stops to finish ahead in the Lowe Cup. It turned into a great duel in the end and luckily went our way this time. Look forward to the next duel against Legacy‘s arch rival.”
Others: – Reds Breeding Stud– “I am very pleased by Haku‘s continued form, we were beaten by a better horse and trainer, there’s no disgrace in that. We will try again next time out.”
Others: – Fernbank Park – “Finishing position as expected (even though I had a large bet on myself). Slow track certainly made for too big a challenge on the day. Will be keen to take on this group again hopefully at a longer distance.”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – New Scotland Yard – “I had high hopes for her after a strong heat, I felt she needed a few more yards and the final provided that. I was confident the jockey change would also help and it proved to be a good decision.”
Others: – Trouble Racing – “Was always going to be tough against the muddies. Will prepare for the Jewel later this season.”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – Troublemaker’s – “It was a very nice race, the holds were perfectly timed, her stats are very raw still, the jockey made the perfect run. Always nice to get the win and against this competition it’s even better…”
Others: – DoubleU – “A decent run in the mud. Definitely looking forward to this horse in a top field on good ground. She had a bit of fight in her.”
Others: – Priceless Speedsters – “Last minute entry due to waiting on jockey return and horses health on top of being a long shot, Priceless Speedsters are proud of Chk My Tramp Stamp 3rd place. Unstyled vs Muddies great showing but hats off to Troublemaker’s Starship Miss and Woody’s Christastars.”
Others: – woodchuckers – “Lost to a better trained horse with great experience on slow so Dolly did a great job training.”

Post race comments from:
Others: – DR Stables – “Nyquist raced well just not good enough. Trainer error in setting RI, should have pushed the horse a little harder. Finishing 5th in this field is decent, could have hoped for more but not much more. Sootie’s horse was just too good today. Congrats to Sootie and Lump Of Ice.”
Others: – Woogle Wood – “A decent run from Smirr, given that a couple of weeks ago she was showing IP and the cup was not on her radar at all. In hindsight, I could have been a little more forceful earlier on, but the jockey change helps clarify a query I had. Credit to the winner.”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – Talisman’s Titans – “Very pleased with the result as I thought we would get beaten by the better jockeys.”
Others: – stevebest – “Thrilled at coming so close in the BPE. Horse was slightly weary coming across and that could have made the difference, but take nothing away from Talisman, great race and a blanket finish, what more could you want.”
Others: – Mane Equestrian – “It is a really fun and exciting race as anything can happen. I am thrilled to have finished so well.”
Others: – Windy Hill – “Missed the start and ran second …… again. The winner was just too good, so I doubt a better start would’ve made enough difference. That makes it a frustrating 3 second places in the last 3 finals I’ve entered.”
Others: – The Horse Hospital – “After winning it’s heat a week ago over a medium distance I was hopeful that Hay Jimando might win the cup. He ran well in the final for a close up 5th and won some prize money with a lot bigger stables having runners behind so I can’t complain. Many thanks to the sponsor of the cup, it’s a great invention to give every player a chance of glory.”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – Dopey Donkeys Digs – “What an exciting finish! A classic example of the fast finisher style – leaving it until the very last to hit the front. Thrilled with the result.”
Others: – Angel’s Flight – “What a great race today, Finnish Hieghts ran an incredible race, kudos to Noddy on a super win. Nothing more we could have done, it was a 3 horse battle to the wire and at that point it was anybody’s race. Hats off to all the runners, hate to see a loser come out of this race.”
Others: – woodchuckers – “Outstanding run given all factors and the 2 who finished in front well trained and too good on the day no complaints.”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – Lost In The Fog – “Buckwheat did me proud. David Eye gave a masterful ride. Every cup is appreciated when you’re lost in the fog. A very big thank you to the people that sponsor these cups.”
Others: – woodchuckers – “Bridge to far the epic for Libra but I live and learn and move on. Zane certainly has a gem with his muddie. Outstanding effort never a problem losing to a well trained champ of the future.”
Others: – C M Pace Ranch – “We are happy to finish 5th and take a share. Thanks goes to Moonlight for finishing just back of Courses Affair instead of beating her like in the last cup. This horse still puts more effort into fighting the jockey than running the race. We’ll continue the same training routine and see where it takes us.”
Others: – Happy Skipper Stable – “I had no doubt Our Buckwheat would cake walk home. Congrats to him! Upon the future, we’ll be seeing Buckwheat again. Was glad to see Epic Muddy Hanover finishing up with 2nd place, but totally a different class when racing Our Buckwheat….”

Post race comments from:
Winner: – Bristol Turks – “Rollin‘ has been a bit out of sorts in her last couple of cup finals so I wasn’t very hopeful going into the race. But she ran a perfect race and am very happy with the win.
Others: – Troublemaker’s – “The group is terrific, nice to see Rollin back into form, the goal was top 3 so we can’t complain, congrats to the winner.”
Others: – flying spurs – “Silverflash raced to the best of her ability just not good enough today, the better horse won.”
Other: – BODRUMLUCK – “Loved the race, I am disappointed my horse was beat from the 6th stall, but what a race!
Fastest off the gates Rolling In The Deep had a shrewd plan of easing in the second quarter which paid off at the final run and with a burst collected the honours. My Own Business, Silverflash Flyer and my own Bitez had every chance but to no avail. Superior on the day Ersins rolled in the Cup. Looking forward to the Crystal Cup in September.”
