Wonder Again Quotes

 

Christophe Clement, winning trainer of Sea Queen (No. 3): "Nice filly. I'm a bit surprised she won at 18-1, but it doesn't matter, she can't read the board. Great ride from Irad [Ortiz], and we'll go for the Belmont Oaks."

 

Irad Ortiz, Jr., winning jockey aboard Sea Queen (No. 3): "I'm very happy with her performance. A good filly, and she ran great today. She tries very hard. She gave me everything she had today."

 

Chad Brown, trainer of runner-up Minorette (No. 2): "She ran really well. The winner ran really well, too, so it was a good race. It was unfortunate to lose there right on the wire, but she ran great."

 

Would you consider running her back in the Belmont Oaks? "I would. They were both well clear of the third-place horse. The mile and a quarter will suit her as well. If she comes out of the race in good shape, I'll be pointing her toward the Belmont Oaks."

 

**Note: the top two finishers in the Wonder Again will receive automatic invitations to the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational on July 5. The Belmont Oaks is a 1 ¼-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies.**
