SANFORD (G2) QUOTES
Michael Maker, winning trainer of Maybesomaybenot (No. 2): “The owners [Carolyn and Arthellor Scisney] are the nicest couple you’d ever want to meet. They’ve had some lesser horses who were stabled where I train my horses, and he’d always tell me ‘When I get a good horse, I’ll bring it over to you.’ He came over to me this spring, and said, ‘I think I have a good horse for you.’ Their daughter-in-law [Karen Scisney], who is part owner with them, is quite sick and in the hospital, and hopefully, it will be a good dose of medicine for her. As for the horse’s next start, anything’s a possibility. We’ll just play it by ear.”
Julien Leparoux, winning jockey aboard Maybesomaybenot (No.2): “We meant to go in front. With the rail, you kind of have to send him from there. He was in front pretty easy and he’s still a little green. He kind of looked around in the stretch, but he did it pretty well. He did it like a nice horse, so hopefully he can go forward from today.”
Arthellor Scisney, who owns the winner, Maybesomaybenot (No. 2) with his wife, Carolyn, and ailing daughter-in-law, Karen: “We’ve worked hard all our lives, and this is a joy. My daughter-in-law spoke to us on the phone. She just had bypass surgery on Monday and already has lupus. She has lost 60, 70 pounds. I hope this picks her up. If the Lord does nothing else for me, I’ll be all right.”
Rick Violette, trainer of beaten favorite Bail Out the Cat (No. 4): “Alan [Garcia] said he was acting up when the gate opened. He seems to have come back OK.”
Alan Garcia, rider aboard beaten favorite Bail Out the Cat (No. 4): “It was bad luck for us. My horse was acting up in the gate. When the gates opened, he didn't get out. I am really upset about it.”
