JOCKEY QUOTES

         JUAN HERNANDEZ, BROOKE MARIE, WINNER: “On paper it looked like there was going to be one speed horse, the number one (Alice Marble) and my filly broke really fast. She put me right there.  She was enjoying the trip and I just sat behind the one and waited for them to cross the dirt to kick to the wire. I like her, she’s really professional, she crossed the dirt really good and then soon after that I asked her a couple of times and she passed the other filly.”

            EDWIN MALDONADO, ALICE MARBLE, SECOND: “There was no speed in the race, so we went right to the front.  My horse ran a big race, we just didn’t have enough in the end.”

            JOHN VELAZQUEZ, TOBYS HEART, THIRD PLACE: “It was the first time I had the opportunity to ride her. She broke quite nicely, but I was able to get in a good position behind one and three. But then she got flat.”

NOTES: The winning trainer is Eddie Kenneally. The winning owner is Castleton Lyons.
