Menari's dominant victory in the Group II Run To The Rose capped off an amazing day in the saddle for Josh Parr who took out all three of the feature Group II events on the card.
Once again, Racenet was on hand to get the feedback from every rider after the race.

Look at the size of the horse. It is just phenomenal to ride an animal like this. His turn of foot is second to none. I banged him up outside of the leader simply because of the draw. I had to make a decision. I couldn't come out half-hearted and linger around at the risk of being posted wide so I decided to go forward. |

He ran really well, had a lovely run behind the winner. Travelled beautifully, just maybe the weight swing, Menari had 1kg difference, in saying that full credit to the winner he was too good on the day, but level weights at 1400m in the Golden Rose, it's going to be an exciting race. |

Respectable run he went well, probably just had to a little bit too much work early and that told in the finish. He's run a very good race, if I had my time again I would still drive him out, he's a cheeky bugger but he's taking the right steps. |

I was just guided by how he jumped and had a decision to make as to whether I went forward or came back and get some cover. Chose the latter and then we were just sort of back and out of the race. Couldn't have done much more, no doubt he's going to be suited by 1400m and further. It was a pleasing first-up run. |

Really good run, he was just a little bit slow into stride today. Probably cost him a few lengths, but I thought he was really strong late. Really nice horse, just needs to do a bit of maturing. If they can get him in I wouldn't be afraid of running him in the Rose. |

Happy with him, bit brighter today raced a bit more freshly, it's just a track where it's hard to run down the leaders, but I'm happy with him going to 1400m. |

Just a bit too fast for him, the pace was too strong and he'll be more suited when gets over a little bit further. |

He needed that today, he travelled well but when they let down they were a bit strong for him. |
