JOCKEY QUOTES 

            FLAVIEN PRAT, UNITED, WINNER: “I thought I got it, but I heard there was a picture, so I guess it was pretty close, closer than I thought. It took me forever to get him up, so I didn’t see there was a picture actually. It’s always great to win a race prior to the Breeders’ Cup and it seems like he’s doing great. He always does great actually, and it is really fun to be around him.”

TRAINER QUOTES

RICHARD MANDELLA, UNITED, WINNER: “I didn’t think he quite got there. I was accepting, second, third and another good race. But what a great feeling when they said I won. I always expect it but it doesn’t always happen. He couldn’t look better, train better, so we expected him to run like he did. We’ll aim for the Breeders’ Cup. He’s like part of the family. He’s an old gelding, been around a long time. You tend to get to know him as well as you know people. He likes seeing us and we like seeing him.

NOTES: The winning owners are LNJ Foxwoods.
