the original plan was that she would go straight to the Goodwood Cup but when the ground changed we said we'd let her take her chance here. Everyone was happy with her at home and that's why she came here. I was a bit worried that she was a couple of pieces of work away but Ryan gave her a beautiful ride and got her very confident. she loves the ground and loves being ridden like that. With that ease in the ground she's a different filly. She goes on the other ground, she's very genuine and tries very hard, but on that ground she grows another leg. Ryan was biding his time and he said at the two (furlongs) marker she came alive for him when he wanted her. He gave her a peach, he filled her with confidence. He said going to the start he knew she was different, obviously she loves that ease in the ground. Maybe we should be a bit careful, we ran her on fast ground and she came out of it very well but she's obviously better on that ground. A P O'Brien, trainer
The Raceday Stewards interviewed J.A. Heffernan, rider of Gooloogong, trained by A.P.O'Brien, concerning his riding in the closing stages where he appeared to stop riding about one hundred yards from the finish when racing in sixth place and got passed by Yashin in the final strides. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, J.A. Heffernan stated that his mount had not run since the 29th March and he had been driving the colt from six furlongs out to a point near the finish where he became unbalanced and had nothing left to offer. Having viewed the recording and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action
S. Foley, rider of Yashin, trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount did not handle the ground.
