Post race comments from: 

Winner: – BODRUMLUCK – “I can’t say I was confident but expected at least to be in the shake up. Gumbet showed once again perseverance and hard work oblige. He is been trained to run in the dead ground so he ran the opposition to the ground. I also think I got the race instructions spot on. Expect to see him around. Thanks all to the well wishers about this season, it is going well.”

Others: – Burgersfortheboyz – “Fantastic training performance by Bodrumluck who brought in Gumbet to the stable as an above average horse and has turned him into a champion of his age group. Very astute indeed.”

Others: – DR Stables – “I guess you can’t be too disappointed finishing top 5 in a cup race, but I expect more from Nyquist. With his low rating and dead ground he did well. Congrats to the winner. He did a top job with his horse.”

Others: – woodchuckers – “Not good enough on the day.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Dixon Racing – “Emperor was in a galloping mood today and showed that he has ability – ecstatic with the win! Hoping to find some more consistency from him as he develops. This has turned out to be a tough group and I don’t expect him to have things his own way in the future.”

Others: – Karaka Breeders – “Considering the run a placing is a good result. The winner was too good and won in dominating fashion. I think some of the NCs might be able to close the gap in the GP De Paris especially the 2nd horse.”

Others: – Reds Breeding Stud – “King Arthur didn’t improve on his heats run and that was completely my fault. It was a fantastic run by Pedantic’s charge.”

Others: – Desert Wind Stables – “Had a much more solid run from Seaside. As I’m training more for epics, had hoped there would be a little more in the tank for the final eighth but SE just too strong. Hoping I can improve for the Grand Prix but presumably facing Secret Emperor again and that could be a difficult horse to beat.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Force – “”I’m over the moon to win a WC with Dasher. She has been a bit unlucky in previous cups, but today she ran the perfect race. I was a bit worried in the 2nd quarter when Choppa was showing good speed and was catching up, but she managed to build a commanding lead in the 3rd quarter to control the race.”

Others: – Bristol Turks– “Rollin did ok, pretty much what I expected on this ground. Congratulations to Force, very good win.”

Others: – DR Stables – “Very happy with a third place finish in this quality field. Set very aggressive race instructions for the horse and he gave all he could. I knew Dasher would be tough to beat and he proved why he was the favorite. Very impressive race by horse and trainer.”

Others: – Angel’s Flight – “Congratulations to Force on and outstanding job with Dasher today. The race was pretty much what we expected with Dasher dominating the field  “

Post race comments from: 

Others: – ghanainternational – “Got the race instructions wrong. The jockey went too hard early in the race and had nothing left in the tank for the final quarter. Jaguar will run the Jewel in the mile so hopefully she will run a better race there. Congratulations to the winner Beep Beep.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Angel’s Flight – “Came into this race with a game plan and the horse and jockey executed it well. Bounty Hunter has gotten stronger over the past several months and is starting to show how powerful he can really be. The scary thing is he haven’t even scratched the surface yet.”

Others: – Bristol Turks – “It seems Lightning could have gone a bit harder early on but not sure if that would have been enough to catch Bounty Hunter though. Congratulations to Angel, very good win.”

Others: – trouble racing – “Could have hoped for more but not to much more about sums it up. Well done to Angel and Bounty Hunter on a fine victory.”

Others: – Happy Skipper Stable: – “No Nukes didn’t have the race we had hoped for. Congrats to the winner Bounty Hunter. Looking forward to the next race.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – ghanainternational – “Bang Chitti Bang was purchased for 300k as a 3yo and there where times when the stable was considering selling him. Winning the Aussie Long and beating two top horse’s in Secret Legacy and Reds Haku makes keeping Bang a no brainer. Bang won the “who dares win.” a local cup that was used as a prep race and it was then I knew he had chance of breaking Reds Haku and Secret Legacy‘s monopoly. Bang won in similar fashion as today coming very late.The stable couldn’t afford to re hire the jockey who won that day, however, Cleotide Flaming didn’t let the horse down today with brilliant timed finish. Bang may run the regional races as there are no world cups left for him this season.”

Others: – Dixon Racing – “As predicted in pre-race comments, it just needed a smart race to down the two favorites – Bang Chitti Bang ran the perfect race, proving once again that ghanainternational is a danger in every race they enter. Brilliant win Alex, congratulations!”

Others: – Reds Breeding Stud – “No complaints, simply lost to a better horse on the day, its nice to see another contender for this age group, Ghana did very well to close the gap on the two horses that dominated the generation up till this point so kudos to him.”

Others: – Angel’s Flight – “Once Patrobas took the lead their was no looking back. Congratulations to Manor Park on a superb win today and we look forward to seeing him again in the weeks to come.”

Others: – BODRUMLUCK – “Congratulations to Manor Park for Patrobas was far too good for us all. This race I made a cock up of the race instructions, Metin Oktay took too easy early on, in fact my trainer comment was, I quote ” This horse still had more to give”. Never mind ey.”

Post race comments from: 

Others: – DR Stables – “I think my jockey dropped his whip. Very disappointed with the run. But 4th in that field isn’t too bad. Congrats to Manor Park.”

Others: – Westbury Lodge – “A little disappointing but in some great company have to be pleased with a minor placing. After holding her back a bit in the heats I had shortened up the stride a touch for the final and was hoping to get a 47.xxx in the race. However at the end of the day was only able to improve by 0.1 over the heat time, but I’ll take the placing 🙂  So its back to the drawing board and will have a go next season.”

Others: – Happy Skipper Stable: – “Very pleased with American Pharoah‘s race. The competitive nature of the top two finishers made for a very exciting race. Maybe with a little better start she could have taken Manor Park’s mare. However, happy with a 2nd place finish in a line-up of some well-trained mares.”

Post race comments from: 

Winner: – Burgersfortheboyz – “Both a surprising and satisfying win for the stable. Surprising in the sense that we all thought we were racing for the podium behind the mighty Aurora . Satisfying in that the 1 million dollar stud fee we paid for his sire Damascus has actually proven to be a fruitful business venture bringing home two world cups for the stable.”

Others: – Karaka Breeders – “Disappointed with the effort. The horse didn’t finish off the race unfortunately. Will go back to the drawing board and revise riding instructions for the stalker style as the winning stable showed how it’s meant to be done! Congrats to the winner with a well timed run.”

Others: – Dixon Racing – “Aurora did all he could but Big Bad Conspiracy was just too good on the day with a perfectly timed run. Huge congrats to Burgerzfortheboyz – been knocking on the door for another World Cup and this one was very well deserved.”
