JOCKEY QUOTES

            UMBERTO RISPOLI, GOING GLOBAL, WINNER: “She’s an unbelievable filly, an incredible score. I got a feeling in the morning, twenty days of working her and she did everything great, I said I couldn’t wait to see what she really can do on the race day. She did it really easy today, I didn’t face a real opposition really, with all respect. She proved she’s a really good filly.

“It is not her usual style of running but when the race comes up, sometimes you have to change something. From my experience if you have a good horse, you just have to be up there no matter the field…Everything went well.”

            JOHN VELAZQUEZ, JAVANICA, SECOND PLACE: “Today was just not my day. I kept coming in second in all my races. We wanted to get her running, but I couldn’t separate myself from Umberto.”

TRAINER QUOTES

        PHILIP D’AMATO, GOING GLOBAL, WINNER: “Although a small field, she was very impressive.  She did it very easily.  Umberto got her to relax and she did everything very well today.  That last one on the dirt, that was my mistake.  I should have never run her that day.  She had a nice freshening since then and she responded very well.  We are going to keep her on the grass the rest of the year and see where we are at year’s end.”

            NOTES: The winning owners are CYBT, Michael Dubb, Saul Gevertz, Michael Nentwig and Ray Pagano.
