Jockey Comments | 2025 Prosir Plate

Post-race insights straight from the saddle.

Hear what the jockeys had to say following the running of the $400,000 Group 1 PROISIR PLATE (formerly the Tarzino Trophy) at Ellerslie Racecourse on Saturday 6 September 2025.

The 2025 Proisir Plate was won by QUINTESSA, expertly ridden by Rory Hutchings and trained by Te Akau Racing’s Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson for the Te Akau Awarded Racing Partnership (Mgr: Karyn Fenton-Ellis MNZM). QUINTESSA is a 5YO mare by Shamus Award (AUS) out of Chaquinta. #horseracing #nzracing #jockey #grouponeracing #teakau #ellerslie
