$100,000, LAS CIENEGAS STAKES QUOTES-SUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 2022

JOCKEY QUOTES

 

            FLAVIEN PRAT, ZERO TOLERANCE, WINNER: “She was traveling super relaxed, and it does help to have a target, I think it helped her to relax.  She can be a little, on her toes sometimes, but she was relaxing well today and when it was time to make a move, she responded well.”

 

TRAINER QUOTES

 

         RUBEN D. ALVARADO, ZERO TOLERANCE, WINNER: “Unbelievable, I don’t have the words to say. I remember I had this moment when Roy H won the Breeders’ Cup (Sprint in 2017 & 2018). That was a moment I would never forget. I’d like to thank my owners, my boss that gave me the opportunity to be part of this team. It’s been great. It’s just a dream. You just never know when it going to happen, so I feel like, wow. Is this real? I just thank God and I’m just so happy and want to keep winning races.

“That’s just her (Zero Tolerance), I knew she could run. She’s a horse that can come off the pace or be on lead. In the beginning when we started her at Del Mar, we could tell she was a nice filly. We won a few times over there and then brought her here. She loves six and a half, so I knew she was going to run huge for me, she was a little fresh, so that was what we expected from her.”

 

            NOTES: The winning owner is Custom Truck Accessories, Jason Hall, Joe Kelly and Michael Riordan.
