JOCKEY QUOTES
RICARDO GONZALEZ, LEGGS GALORE, WINNER: “I was a little worried about crossing the dirt because she has the tendency of jumping in the other chute (Off of Santa Anita’s Club House turn), but she took it like the champ she is. She just skipped right over it and kicked for home really good.
“I think she has a lot more in the tank, this was her first race off of the layoff, I was a little worried, but she got it done. She’s all heart and she tries every single time. She means everything to me. She put me on the radar when I first got here and she just kept rallying wins after wins so she’s very special to me.”
TRAINER QUOTES
PHILIP D’AMATO, LEGGS GALORE, WINNER: “She saddled great, she was fresh and happy. She just needed a little rest and recuperation after a long year last year. She has come back great.
“I think she is a double threat, I think she can mile just as easily as she can sprint on the grass. We will check our options, but down the road we want to see if we can get a graded stake win with her and make her a broodmare at the end of the year.”
NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is William Sims.
