It was a brilliant night of racing in Launceston on Wednesday night, headlined by the win of Geegees Gemstone in the Newmarket, and Ms Tasmania in the 3YO Cup.

The beaten jockeys in both feature races provided comments on their runners.

Newmarket Handicap

Craig Newitt – The Inevitable (2nd) He was terrific. From the gate he jumped good, tried to hold a spot, tempo of the race made it into a real test. Good luck beating him for the rest of the carnival.

Bulent Muhcu – Alvarinho (3rd) Very big run. Very encouraging for going to the fillies & mares races in the future.

Troy Baker – Thespian Waters (4th) Brilliant run. He didn't show the same turn of foot as he did first-up. Just thinking he needs 1400 and he's a better horse at Hobart.

Lauryn Bingley – And Beyond (5th) He ran great. First-up today, he probably peaked on his run a bit but he'll be there second-up.

Liam Riordan – Kaliuwaa Falls (6th) Thought he acquitted himself very well in this company first-up over 1200.

Codi Jordan – First Accused (7th) This horse was super. When that bit of daylight opened up I thought here we are again, we're going to win the Newmarket again, but he just hit the line like a 1400 or a miler, and those horses had already gained momentum down the outside.

Erica Byrne Burke – Jaguar Stone (8th) She was as honest as ever. A bit run off her feet early and just got stuck for a bit of room in the straight.

Mehmet Ulucinar – Indispensable (9th) He was a bit slow away which gave him no chance but he hit the line the last 200 and I'm very happy.

Chloe Wells – Hype (10th) Ran super. Just run off his legs early but made really good ground up the straight, he'll be exciting over further.

Luke Currie – Bello Beau (11th) Just stuck wide on a hot speed and couldn't win from there.

Jackson Radley – Tsunami Sam (12th) Thought he ran a pretty good race really. Had to use a bit of petrol getting around from the 16 but just not enough left late.

Chelsea Baker – Galenus (13th) Little bit disappointing. Led on a hot tempo but he always does that and didn't give much of a kick on the home turn.

David Pires – Swoop Dog (14th) Didn't like the visors first time. He was too busy worrying about Thespian Waters on his inside. He did get stuck a little bit wide from an outside alley but was still disappointing.

3YO Cup

Luke Currie – Magnaprime (2nd) Great effort. Raced really well, he's a very nice horse. Just got beaten in a bob today, but I think he's still improving.

David Pires – Go Jeanie (3rd) Really nice run tonight. Just sat outside the leader, just got pipped. If she can get over a trip she'll be very hard to beat in the fillies races.

Liam Riordan – Mastretta (4th) Great run. As can happen, just visors first time, missed the kick. She'll be very hard to beat next start over a bit of a trip.

Anthony Darmanin – Azonto (5th) She was enormous. Probably should've finished a lot closer. Just got one pair further back then I would've liked. Much improved run.

Chelsea Baker – Geegees Legacy (6th) I was really happy with him. I was just behind the leader there. Relaxed really nice and came to the turn, had a bit of horse there and he hit the line strong, He's just probably not quite up to this class just yet.

Craig Newitt – Native Clan (7th) I thought she ran pretty good. From an inside gate just got crossed by a roughie early which handed up, which put me three back the fence. Travelled well, she got a little outsprinted straightening, but she closed off well.

Codi Jordan – Zoete's Rock (8th) Super run. Just when they quickened away again he was a bit run off his feet, but he's going to love 1400 or a mile.

Chloe Wells – Dancing Wolf (9th) Good, just ran off her feet early from the wide gate, went back, a little bit green in behind them and found the line nicely.

Mehmet Ulucinar – Angel Sphere (10th) She missed the kick a little bit, half a length and she didn't go where she normally races, and she got a bump at the 400 and out of the race.

Jackson Radley – Wild Nights (11th) She's a lot better than what she ran tonight. I think she's had a long prep, and she'll go to the paddock now.
