JOCKEY QUOTES
JUAN HERNANDEZ, WARREN’S SHOWTIME, WINNER: “I knew the pace wasn’t that fast, but she was in the bridle and pulling. That’s the way she likes to run and she came with a big run today. She’s a nice filly, very consistent.”
TRAINER QUOTES
CRAIG A. LEWIS, WARREN’S SHOWTIME, WINNER: “I was a little concerned the pace wasn’t fast, but she was very comfortable and she can really quicken, fast. She did, and the results were very favorable. The number one trait she has that separates her from most horses is her consistency. She’s a big beautiful filly, she can run on any surface and any distance. I’m very grateful that I have her because she makes me look good. We always thought she would like (the hill), but we were hoping for a hotter pace. She overcame that, she’s just a genuine filly…
“I wasn’t confident when I saw the first quarter, but I could see Juan was confident, so that gave me some hope. Made me think maybe. Once she got into gear, I knew she’d get there…Another Clubhouse Ride, they just run.”
OWNER QUOTES
SALLY WARREN, CO-OWNER, WARREN’S SHOWTIME, WINNER: “It’s just been unbelievable and (Ben) has had so many horses but not one that has been so consistent as Showtime. We were just saying, 19 out of 21 starts she’s hit the board and that’s unbelievable. It makes me think of Zenyatta, only in a different way, we hit the board, she won. But we are so happy. Craig has done such a wonderful job, it’s so inspiring. We are really, really thankful. Craig picked her at the farm, now we know (why).”
NOTES: The winning owners/breeders are Ben and Sally Warren
