Sunday, May 4, 2014 Drosselmeyer overnight stakes quotes John Velazquez, winning jockey aboard Ground Transport (No. 7): "He's pretty easy to ride. [Trainer Michael Stidham] told me from the get-go, 'You know, Johnny, just put your hands down, the less you fight him, the better it's going to be for you.' After a sixteenth of a mile he inherited the lead and I just did what he told me. I put my hands down and played with him a little bit, and he did it by himself."
