JOCKEY QUOTES

            FLAVIEN PRAT, COUNT AGAIN, WINNER: “I’ve been on this horse a few times in the morning, so I got to know him.  We had a good trip today, he broke well and he put me in the race.  He was traveling super all the way around there and when I asked him to run, he gave me a good kick.”

TRAINER QUOTES

         PHILIP D’AMATO, COUNT AGAIN, WINNER: The (time off) did him a ton of good. He told me in his last race at Del Mar, ‘Hey, I’ve had a long campaign maybe it’s time to give me a freshener.’  And we did that. The owners have been great. Sam-Son Farms, Mark Martinez of Agave racing, they just told me to give him all the time he needs, and we brought him back fresh and happy.

“I think Flavien got acquainted with him, breezing him the last couple of times and I think that helped him with his timing. He’s a horse that just takes him a while to get in gear, but once he does, he’s got a pretty impressive late turn of foot.”

            NOTES: The winning owner is Agave Racing Stable and Sam-Son Farm. Bred by Sam-Son Farm.
