| Friday, May 2, 2014 Affirmed Success (NYB) quotes Linda Rice, winning trainer of Marriedtothemusic (No. 5): "It's very rare for a horse to win after the trouble he had at the start; we're thrilled with his performance. This win is definitely extra special for us; [recently deceased trainer] Dominic [Galluscio] was a good friend of mine. As far as I'm concerned, he's still running for Dominic." Cornelio Velasquez, winning jockey aboard Marriedtothemusic (No. 5): "My horse was a little nervous and he jumped at the start. He broke last and I lost my stirrup. I had no choice but to come from behind horses. It was the first time he broke like this. If he broke good, then I think he would have galloped." |
