Bernard Fayd’Herbe, won on Marinaresco: “I was a bit out of my ground early on but I managed to sneak up on the rail and I was in a winning position turning into the straight. I had to switch because I had horses in front of me but I had gears underneath me. It was close at the line, and I wasn’t sure I’d got up, but I still had quite a bit of horse.”
Aldo Domeyer, 4th= on Krambambuli: “I knew he wasn’t going to outsprint them so I tried to get away a little bit and he was staying on. He did everything right for me but then they came and got me.”
Jockey Introduction VDJ 2017
Anthony Delpech, 4th= on Nightingale: “Halfway up the straight I thought I was going to win and then the boys got to me but she ran a great race and she couldn’t have done any better.”
Richard Fourie, 6th on Horizon: “I thought I had a chance when we opened up coming into the straight but it was still a great run.”
Grant van Niekerk, 7th on Black Arthur: “I thought I had a perfect run but he just didn’t give it to me.”
Lyle Hewitson, 9th on French Navy: “He lacks a bit of early speed so I ended up further back than I wanted and I had to go round them. But it was a courageous run.”
Weichong Marwing, 10th on Ten Gun Salute: “I got a little bit nudged and I couldn’t get out when I wanted to but I don’t think I would have won.”
Gavin Lerena, 12th on Brazuca: “It was a very rough race, particularly in the first 400m.”

Here's Anton's view, on the Gold Circle website
Anton Marcus, who finished third on Edict Of Nantes said it was a form result. “I had a great run. I was perfectly happy with where I was placed and was happy with my horse. The form worked out. Half a kilo over 2200m,” referring to the Daily News 2000 where Edict Of Nantes finished ahead of Al Sahem
Thanks MOMF...guess I saw it wrong

Was it just my eyes or did Aldo lose his whip at the 200m mark? Check the head on again.

I'm not complaining.... up until JULY race I was punting like Shit, .. or the results were.
Switched to Sparkling wine, from then on was firing on all engines. Marinaresco @ 35's helped me big time, plus the Quartets in main race & don't forget BELA-BELA.
My BEST July result in donkey's years.

I didn't have a lot staked but my best July since 2014 because of the little guy winning @ 16's to 18's. Very pleased but also a bit upset I didn't have a big bet on Bela Bela as I managed to overstudy the race and come up with ways to beat her
