P. G. JOHNSON QUOTES
Will Phipps, winning trainer of Fancy Point (No. 4): “We’re very lucky people. We’re honored to have a horse for the Steinbrenners – this one is for the big guy. We felt pretty bullish coming into the race. She comes from a very classy family and she took to the lawn the way we thought she would.”
Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Fancy Point (No. 4): “She looked like she was on her toes today; very sharp. She set up beautifully in the gate. As soon as they opened the gate, she broke like a shot. BOOM! She got the first jump. I tried to settle her a little bit and I was wishing somebody else could go in the lead just to keep track, but she just galloped along. At the eighth pole, turning for home, it looked like some horses on the outside were going to go by. But, when I asked her a little bit, she gave it to me and took off again.”
