JOCKEY QUOTES

            FLAVIEN PRAT, CEZANNE, WINNER: “He broke well and got himself into the race. I was travelling well and he responded well when it was time to make a move. Bob (Baffert) was telling me he was going to be really sharp today, and that was the case. I thought I was in a good spot towards the end, and he gave himself a very good chance to win the race.”

TRAINER QUOTES

BOB BAFFERT, CEZANNE, WINNER: “We missed our timing with him.  He had a few setbacks, otherwise he would have been in the Big ‘Cap.  He’s a good handicap horse.  He showed his class.  I think he is a mile and quarter horse.  We’ll keep him going and look toward the Breeders’ Cup Classic.  I like what I saw today.  That last race was a warm-up for him.  We wanted to be close up today.  (Flavian) Prat is like money right now.  He knows what to do.”

            NOTES: The winning owner is Mrs. John Magnier, Michael B.Tabor, Derrick Smith, Derrick and St. Elias Stable.
