JOCKEY QUOTES

            FLAVIEN PRAT, SUMTER, WINNER: “He was travelling super. He broke good, got some speed from the sprint, but then he settled in nice and was relaxing well. He responded well when I asked him to make a move. I think (this) was as impressive as last time. Especially given there was a question mark on the distance. He actually ran the distance well so, it was a good race today. I think the distance was perfect for him, he may even try further.”

TRAINER QUOTES

         RICHARD MANDELLA, SUMTER, WINNER: “Yes, we felt good about his chances today.  His last couple works were pretty impressive.  He’s always shown a lot of talent and I thought he might do well on the dirt, but he surely didn’t.  Today, he was on the lead, but he was pretty relaxed doing it and that’s always the key.”
