LOUDONVILLE QUOTES
Tim Snyder, winning trainer/owner of Lisa’s Booby Trap (No. 5): “I knew I had a smart rider and there was a lot of speed in the race, so I figured they’d run down the speed. She’s a big, long-striding horse and he had a lot of horse underneath. I was thinking of my wife all day. This story hasn’t ended yet – we have a long ways to go. We’re going to wait it out, but we’re thinking about the Victory Ride [Grade 3, August 28].”
Kent Desormeaux, winning jockey aboard Lisa’s Booby Trap (No. 5): “His late wife told him that she wanted to come back as a racehorse, and here she is, living vicariously through Lisa’s Booby Trap. As far as we believe, she’s inside – they have the same heart, and she’s carrying this horse. You can amass hero status through the racing industry and this is a perfect example. I don’t think this story is over yet. I know how fast she is, and for them to clear her, I knew they had to be smokin’. Still and all though, she came and got them while they were running, so she’s of great talent. There’s no doubt. You can’t take that from her, she’s very talented.
