CARTER (G1) QUOTES
Nick Zito, winning trainer of Morning Line (No. 10): “Amazing. I'm very grateful. I'm very happy for the horse. He's lost some tough ones - the Breeders’ Cup Mile was a heartbreaker. The Donn was a heartbreaker. He's such a well-deserving Grade 1 horse. He beat a top horse in [Apriority]. It was a great run race. He did what a professional horse is supposed to do. He's just a very versatile horse. He'll probably run any distance.”
John Velazquez, winning jockey aboard Morning Line (No. 10): “I had a very good trip. Everything went pretty much the way we hoped it would. He has hard time getting around the turns, but once he’s down in the lane, he’ll give you another gear. He finished up very well.”
David Fawkes, trainer of runner-up and beaten favorite Apriority (No. 7): “He ran huge – he chased the speed and did a lot of work early. I’m happy with his performance, just disappointed we didn’t win.”
Luis Saez, trainer of runner-up and beaten favorite, Apriority (No. 7): “He ran hard. I had a good trip.”
