TRAINER QUOTES

         JOHN SADLER, BRAN, WINNER: “He’s been improving and acclimatizing to America. He’s run a couple of good races for us and it looks like he’s a hard trying horse. We got him at the right price. We bought him for like 80,000-Euro out of the Arc Sale, so we’re in good shape with him already. I think he’ll run up to a mile as we continue on with him this year.”

OWNER QUOTES

        KOSTA HRONIS, BRAN, WINNER: “Coming off the hill and maybe running on the flat surface, which he’s a little bit more used to probably helped him out today.

“Having the fans here, yesterday, the 25,000 or whatever we had, it was just wonderful to see the racetrack full like that. As a Pasadena guy it’s just fun to watch Santa Anita like that.”

NOTES: The winning rider is Umberto Rispoli.  The winning owner is Hronis Racing, LLC.
