Epsom: What the jockeys said

Saturday 6 October 2012, 5:40pm

What the jockeys said following the running of Saturday's Group One Epsom Handicap at Randwick won by the Gai Waterhouse-trained Fat Al.

1st Tommy Berry (Fat Al): "He's a tough horse. He's a Group One winner now and it won't be his last."

2nd Kerrin McEvoy (Ambidexter): "He pulled up when he hit the front."

3rd Chad Schofield (Rolling Pin): "Fantastic run. He was very honest and very genuine today. He toughed it out to the line."

4th Jim Cassidy (Lightinthenite): "He ran terrific."

5th James McDonald (Secret Admirer): "She got back and ran home really strong."

6th Kathy O'Hara (Monton): "Terrific run. Nothing went to suit but he went good."

7th Hugh Bowman (Shoot Out): "No excuses. He had a good run they just went too fast for me."

8th Glyn Schofield (Yosei): "She ran enormous. She just missed the kick."

9th Brenton Avdulla (Tagus): "He had every possible chance. He's probably a Group Two, Group Three horse at his best."

10th Peter Robl (Wild And Proud): "He ran terrific. He ran up to his best."

11th Corey Brown (Said Com): "He's probably just a tier below those sort of horses. He ran ok."

12th Nash Rawiller (Rangirangdoo): "He saw plenty of Randwick. I still think he's going well."

13th Jay Ford (Somepin Anypin): "Very disappointing."

14th Jason Collett (Gangster's Choice): "He's not quite up to this company just yet."

15th Nathan Berry (Kontiki Park): "He blew the race at the start. He just reared up when the gates opened."
