SUBURBAN HANDICAP (G2) QUOTES
Toby Sheets, assistant to winning trainer Steve Asmussen, of Haynesfield (No. 6): “[At the half] I loved where we were at. The post position helped us, I think, and Ramon [Dominguez] did a great job. When he took the lead at the three-eighths pole, Ramon was just sitting on him. He did it the right way. We’ll see how he comes out of it and go from there.”
Ramon Dominguez, winning jockey aboard Haynesfield (No. 6): “This is a horse who always felt like he had more potential there as a three-year-old, that he was going to develop into a nicer horse. But today, he really surprised me, especially the second quarter when we picked it up, he was just there for me. Around the three-eighths pole we made the lead, which seemed a little early, but he did everything in hand.”
Rick Dutrow, Jr., trainer of favored third-place finisher I Want Revenge (No. 1a): “The race was never about Pictural. Our horse ran well – it looks like he needed a race. [Joe Talamo] said he got a little tired. I thought he ran big. We’ll see what happens next time.”
Joe Talamo, rider aboard favored third-place finisher I Want Revenge (No. 1a): “He broke well and we had a real good tracking trip, he just got a little tired the last part. Other than that, he felt terrific and he gave me a real good feeling.”
