PLEASANT COLONY STAKES QUOTES
Rick Dutrow, Jr., winning trainer of Trickmeister (No. 1): “Even though this looked very impressive today, he’s better than this. He’s got talent, but we just have to straighten him out. That’s why we didn’t pick the Travers for him. If we get him right and he starts training unbelievably, we can pick whatever spot we want.”
Garret Gomez, winning jockey aboard Trickmeister (No. 1): “The horse has quite a bit of speed to him. [Trainer Rick] Dutrow just told me to let him do his thing and see if we can go around and make the lead. [Trickmeister] did everything. He’s a nice horse and time will tell how good he is. He’s 4-for-4 now, and he’s won a little stake. They’ve asked him to go from three-quarters of a mile to a mile and a sixteenth to a mile and an eighth and, he’s adapted to everything. He’s been perfect.”
