Jonathan Riddell lets one slip as Jimmy Cassidy produces classic ride to deliver Hawkspur Jim Cassidy escapes on Hawkspur to give his Rough Habit rivals the slip. WATCH Your Song flash clear in the straight, as he relishes the wet conditions at Eagle Farm to easily win the BTC Cup. Platelet upset a crack field at Morphettville, including star sprinters Moment Of Change and Yosei to win The Goodwood. Jim Cassidy talks with connections after the race. JOCKEY Jonathan Riddell was quick to shoulder the blame for the defeat of hotpot Survived after Jimmy Cassidy delivered another masterclass to win yesterday's Rough Habit Plate on Hawkspur. The Chris Waller-trained Hawkspur trailed the dawdling tempo and, while the more fancied Survived and Usainity were trying to build momentum back in the field, Cassidy kicked away soon after turning and his pursuers were no hope. Riddell seemingly had a lapful of horse coming to the turn, but elected to bide his time and follow Usainity, rather than coming to that horse's outside. It left him without momentum entering the straight. In hindsight, I should have taken off a lot earlier. I probably wish I had my time again," Riddell said. "I maybe should have swept down the outside on him turning for home, seeing as the race was so slowly run."I got on Usainity's backside and I thought he would take me into it, but things didn't go the way I wanted." Riddell felt Survived would be improved by his first run this way of going and hasn't lost faith from a Queensland Derby standpoint, given the way he found the line in the last 200m. Cassidy said it was a special thrill to win the Rough Habit Plate for the first time, given his association with the former Kiwi superstar. "It brings back some great memories," he said. I remember those big race wins up here on him so fondly and it's great to win the race named in his honour. Cassidy said Hawkspur would be a force going to the derby because he settles so well in his races. "It was quite a strong win and 2400m won't be a problem," he said. His couple of recent runs have been good. In the Packer Plate they dawdled and he took off at the 500m, so the run was good. The softening track helped him today as well.
