• “Kieran gave him an absolute peach of a ride and was very, very patient. The miracle happened.We agreed we’d sit last and try to pass as many as we could in the final furlong.” Ed Walker on 50/1 winner Ten Bob Tony
  • “We always look at the positives, we beat 23 others. We love the underdog in Australia, we’ll get back, trust me, I haven’t bought this hat for nothing!” Aussie trainer of Overpass, Bjorn Baker
  • “It is a dream to be training horses like this, to be trusted with them, and to do it with Billy makes it even more special. He’s like a younger brother, like a friend,” George Boughey on Bow Echo’s win
  • “Victorious is a gorgeous filly, and we think the world of her. She has a lot of talent. She is blind in her left eye, so she can’t see anything on that side. She is just a sweetheart.” Ryan Moore on Queen Mary winner Victorious
  • “She has done herself proud. She loves this fast ground – it cannot go fast enough for her. She kept galloping to the end there. A good filly beat us, but we will take her on again. We will be all Group 1s from here on.” Willie McCreery on Jancis
  • “He is a lovely horse to deal with, a real character. John and Thady have brought him along beautifully. Nearly every season he’s raced, he’s got stronger and better, and he’s probably now the finished article.” William Buick on Ombudsman
  • “I don’t think he relaxed through the race; he was out of his rhythm all the time, and that’s why he shortened up his action at the end. We didn’t see the Daryz of Longchamp, when he was nice and relaxed and quickened really strongly.” Francis-Henri Graffard on Daryz
  • “She’s had issues, I can’t tell you how much this means. I can’t remember everyone’s names like Aidan. Everyone says it’s a team effort and it certainly is. I’m just lucky enough to be the chap whose name is on the licence.” William Haggas after Alobayyah’s win
  • A horrendous day @Ascot, in fact, it was that bad you will not be seeing the word shirt again……the punters had it off my back”
  • Barry Pinnington@BookieBaz on Wednesday
  • “I owe Craig (owner) a big thank you. I would like to be busier here this week, but I am not. It is lovely to have another winner here - it means more than you know, and I am running out of time.” Seamie Heffernan on his Chesham winner
  • “It is an honour and a privilege for me to be involved with the team and be the small part that I am with everybody. The reality is everyone puts in the work, we watch it going on, and I can’t tell you how grateful we are to everybody.” Aidan O’Brien after his 100th Royal Ascot winner in the Gold Cup
  • “To me, it was the most exciting race to watch. A phenomenal finish between two magnificent stayers. The staying division when it’s like that is beyond exciting. A phenomenal race - this is what racing needs, and it’s great for the crowd.” John Gosden on Trawlerman and the Gold Cup
  • “Unbelievable. I can’t explain it. My heart is all over the place - it’s a wonderful feeling. I hope it can continue and we can get another winner at Royal Ascot. It’s very important for everyone. I have been here in the past with Sir Henry Cecil, and it is wonderful to have a winner.” Vefa Ibrahim Araci on Libertango
  • “I wanted to be a jockey and ride as many winners as I could as a kid, so it is fantastic when days like this happen. A Group 1 at Ascot is great - everyone wants that Group 1.” Clifford Lee after winning on Venetian Sun
  • “I think Ryan will probably say he was probably there a little bit earlier than he wanted, because he had to move early because he was very wide and he didn’t have any choice. I think she did great.” Aidan O’Brien on Precise
  • “I felt like I had a clean passage to follow Ryan and Wayne could see me going well and put me back in. Touleen is very brave but she is not a very big filly and True Love is probably double the size of her so it wasn’t too hard for him to put me back in behind them.” Saffie Osborne after meeting interference in the Coronation Stakes on Touleen
