Below are comments from all the jockeys who rode in the $350,000 Group 2 Deadly Design Zipping Classic (2400m) at Sandown Hillside.

Tanby (FIRST): “Lloyd said to be he had this horse very well in. He was having his third run in three weeks and he seems to cope with plenty of racing. It was all about getting him settled early and once he was settled I knew he was a strong chance.” - Nick Hall

Exceptionally (SECOND): “He went super, he had a lovely run, I couldn’t be happier with her.”  - Dean Yendall

Precedence (THIRD): “I couldn’t have wished for a better run in transit. I felt the winner at the 400 (metre mark) but the winner sprinted quickly. It’s hard to come back from a (Melbourne) Cup, but the stable have done a good job with him.” - Blake Shinn

Mourayan (FOURTH): “He didn’t really settle well in the middle stages.”  - Hugh Bowman

Rawnaq (FIFTH): “He is a high class horse. He has done a lot this prep and is ready for the paddock but he’ll come back a very, very good three-year-old.” - Chad Schofield

He’s Hot to Trot (SIXTH):  “He probably ran as good as he could in that race. He was out of his depth.”- Dom Tourneur

Dame Claire (SEVENTH): “She got taken on too far from home.”  - Peter Mertens

Umatic (EIGHTH): “Outclassed.”  - Dwayne Dunn

Garud (NINTH): “No excuses.”  - Kerrin McEvoy
