Tye Angland missed his brother's wedding to ride at Randwick on Saturday but picked up a double including the Group I Spring Champion Stakes aboard Ace High.
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.

Jason Collett |
It was a tough win. He did a bit of work early just to land three deep and do more work. It was impressive. He's a very laid back colt, a bit too laid back about it really. I gave him two hits after 100m or 200m just to get him going up there. He's not giving it all yet. I went for him and I thought I was vulnerable to swoopers here but every time I hit him he gave more and more. |

Great run. The barrier was just a bit costly and probably looking for 1600m. |

It worked out well. I was always going to be last in the run, Blake bowled along at a nice speed. I just had the back of Kerrin and that let me be carted most of the way around but I was always going to get to the half mile and make it a staying test and he was last man standing. |

BRONZED VENOM |
Brenton Avdulla |
He did a good job. I was meant to be on speed but I missed the kick a bit so I ended up riding him quiet. I was on the back of Tye who was always going to take me somewhere and when we got out at the furlong he was too good. When you get one off Matt Dunn you know they are going to run well. |

It was a good run. He was just a little bit strong the whole way and I reckon if they back him up it might help take that sting out of him. |

Great run, obviously the tempo suited the front runners and I had a bit of work to do to get there from the back and his last furlong was the best. Going to a mile will be suitable. |

VIRIDINE |
Brenton Avdulla |
Enormous run. I've never had a horse pull so hard and keep going. They went very steady on speed and he didn't give himself much of a breather, I didn't get much of a breather riding him. He wasn't into a rhythm at the top of the straight and when it was time to go, as soon as I gave him a one, two he was off and going and put the race away. He's a good colt, he's just got to do the little things right. He's still learning and improving. He's got a bright future. |

He stuck on well. He was a little out paced initially but then stuck on the last furlong. He will probably go back up to 1400m and expect him to show some more. |

ALBUMIN |
Jason Collett |
He's got a great turn of foot ridden quiet but it's either a million miles an hour or off the bridle for him at the moment, he hasn't quite found that medium. |

I thought it was a very good run he just ran out of condition the last 100m. If they find a race for fillies she'll be right in it. |

ACE HIGH |
Tye Angland |
Went forward again today, we thought there was going to be a bit more pressure. He just had a beautiful run and I thought I would make it a staying test. I was on empty late, but the easy sectionals early that I got right paid dividends. Not many people would know I missed my brother's wedding today for this fella. |

Great run. Pace was dictated by the leader and didn't suit my horse. But he ran a great race, full credit to the winner but with a little bit more luck he probably nearly gets him. |

SULLY (NZ) |

He ran terrific. From where he drew he got back but if he had drawn a gate he probably ends up third or fourth and probably wins the race. |

SANCTIONED |
Kerrin McEvoy |
He missed the start which had me going to plan B, we were going to go forward. He was back last and racing a little bit keen because of the steady tempo. He did a good job to run on and run fourth so a nice effort after bungling the start. |

DIXIE BLOSSOMS |
Kerrin McEvoy |
Well done by Ronny [Quinton] he got the quinella there, he's got two lovely race mares and it's just a pleasure to be on her [Dixie Blossoms] back today, she is a sweetheart to ride. The Randwick mile was perfect, Ron just said to take your time with her and just to have her comfortable and she'll finish well - he was spot on. He does a great job, he's only got a small team and he keeps producing good winner after good winner. It's very pleasing to ride one here for him today."

Top effort, she tried her heart out once again. Probably just not quite as strong as Dixie at the end of the mile her first time at it but she was only beaten three quarters of a length and she ran her top so I was very happy. |

Actually really good. I was back, got her to relax, cut the corner, tried to sneak a few runs but I gave her a squeeze, she was picking up strong but as soon as I had to stop her momentum because there were no runs there she spat the bit and the race was over. |
