| Sunday, July 13, 2014 Rockville Centre (NYB) Quotes Michael Mareina, winning trainer of Bustin It (No. 2): "I thought he ran well. It worked out just like I wanted. I told [jockey] Rajiv [Maragh] to open up out of the the gate - he's super quick - then once you open up sit on him and maintain a couple length lead; don't burn him up early. Rajiv rode him absolutely perfect, and when he asked he kicked away and was throttled down." "We're going to point towards [the $200,000 Funny Cide for New York-breds] on August 24 at Saratoga. I don't have any grandiose plans for him now, but he's a nice little horse." Rajiv Maragh, winning jockey aboard Bustin It (No. 2): "I think the experience had a lot to do with [the improvement in his second start]. He's a typical 2-year-old, still learning the ropes, but it was a drastic improvement from his first race to today. He was much more focused, and he knew what it was about today. He left the gate, willing. He's naturally fast." |
