COMELY (G3) QUOTES
David Fawkes, winning trainer of Hot Summer (No. 1): “I didn’t think [the rail would open]. I didn’t think she would get through there. [Last time] she stumbled a little bit and was rushed a little bit, and that isn’t her. We’ve been working hard with her to sit off the pace, and it worked out. We’ll talk to Mr. Queen and try to make a plan. I think she’s going to stay here. We’ll find something. There will be something, somewhere.”
Luis Saez, winning jockey aboard Hot Summer (No. 1): “[I saw on paper] that she’s got speed. When she got to the gate, she wanted to go, but I got hold of her. At the three-eighths pole, I waited for the hole to open, and she responded. This is my first time riding here. I like it.”
