Apprentice Lee Magorrian was the star of the show at Randwick on Saturday with the apprentice claiming his first Metropolitan double.
Once again, Racenet was on hand to get the feedback from every rider after every race.
This is what the jockeys thought of their rides during the day.

He's a lovely colt. Peter and Paul have a good opinion of the horse. They knew whatever he did today he would improve on and certainly raced like that. |

FIESTA |
Brenton Avdulla |
She ran terrific. When we jump we all jump in a clump and we ended up in a bit of a squeeze box but I got to the outside and her last furlong was good. |

GODODDIN |
Jason Collett |
We were away fairly and we were a bit green in the mid stages there but she found the line nicely. |

ALSHAHHAD |
Jay Ford |
He's a lovely horse. He's probably a little bit keen in the lead and in that ground when he came off the bridle he really sunk and struggled. |

CATANZARO |
Adam Hyeronimus |
He went well for his first run. He's still learning so I was happy with the run. |

She raced ok, back with a bit of cover, just got a bit lost when I aksed her to quicken up. |

It was probably just a bit soon for him. Probably looking for 1200m. |

He went alright. He did everything right early but I think he's just going to take a little bit of time to mature. |

KAONIC (NZ) |
Glyn Schofield |
It was a soft win. He quickens up when you need him to. He's raw still. He'll go to better races than this but I'd like see him take the next step to a classier race than today. Chris is taking him gradually through the grades which is nice to see. |

Good effort. I think we got close because the winner was having a good look. It gave us a sniff and my bloke tried to fight but just wasn't up to getting that last half-length back. |

GOODFELLA |
Jason Collett |
Another good win. He settled in behind them today and actually over-raced in the middle stages. I didn't want to go down to the fence. He was flushed out on the bend which meant I had to get going. As we're finding if you aren't aggressive on him, he'll have a lend. I don't think we've seen the bottom of him yet. |
|

PIRACY |
Andrew Adkins (a0) |
Very good run. Settled well when I asked and travelled very well around the turn. There was a bit of pressure from the outside and that told in the latter stages. Still ran well and will improve from that. |

MY COUNTRY |
Andrew Adkins (a1.5) |
It was a strong win. We bounced with them, when I showed that amount of speed I was only going to be caught wide and she was really fresh today but once I got her back in behind a runner she really switched off and when I asked her before the turn to improve she really did. She let down like a Snowden horse does. |
