DE LA ROSE QUOTES
Robert Clay, owner of Three Chimneys, of winner Miss Keller (No. 10): “That was an impressive turn of foot. She has been close, but this is perhaps her best race. We were trying to find a mile race. Obviously, Roger [Attfield] has been having good luck here.”
Joe Miller, assistant racing manager for Three Chimneys of winner Miss Keller (No. 10): “She loves the mile. Unfortunately, we do not have too many options going a mile on the grass for fillies. We may think about running her here later in the meet. [The Ballston Spa] is certainly a possibility for her.”
About her wearing protective eye cups: “In her last race, she got a little kick back in her eye. She got a clump of grass in her eye. It's possibly the reason she didn't win that Grade 2 race in
Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Miss Keller (No. 10): “I was really concerned about having the outside post today on this softer turf. So I have to give a lot of credit to my horse because I was worried about the softer going all day. She broke a little slow, so I had the chance to stalk behind the speed, and I was fortunate that there were a couple of speed horses in the race. She was so relaxed and going lovely, just galloping along. I think having her relaxed in the first turn was the key to winning the race. And, although I had to go a little wide, she was there when I asked her.”
