BROOKLYN QUOTES

 

Caue Caramori, assistant to Eduardo Caramori, winning trainer of Alcomo (No. 8): "We know the horse hates synthetics, but the owners live over there [in Dubai]. Luckily, he came back even better than he left. This is a nice horse – a real pleasure to train. The Breeders' Cup is at Churchill Downs this year, and that's our main goal."

 

Cornelio Velasquez, winning jockey aboard Alcomo (No. 8): "I broke well and stayed in a good position.  I was in the clear at the quarter pole, and I had a lot of horse.  I thought I had the race easy, but the two, he ran a good race.  I knew I was in front at the wire."

 

Seth Benzel, trainer of runner-up Gabriel's Hill (No. 2): "We believed this would be the type of race, at 1½ miles, that would suit him. He ran his eyeballs out and came up just short. At least, we'll enjoy a big effort."

 

Eibar Coa, jockey aboard runner-up Gabriel's Hill (No. 2): "My horse ran well. I'm happy for him."
