Monday, August 25, 2014 Quotes from the New York Turf Writers' Cup (G1), run in memory of Tom Voss Richard Valentine, winning trainer of Demonstrative (No. 7): "I'm incredibly proud of my horse and my crew, but it's bittersweet." Robert Walsh, winning jockey aboard Demonstrative (No. 7): "It was a pretty good trip. I was where I wanted to be early, down inside and covered up. Then it got tight down in there and I was starting to get shuffled back, so I made a move to get a little closer again so I wouldn't get in trouble. Then I got trapped inside again turning for home. Luckily, there was enough of a gap on the inside. I took it and I got to the front a bit sooner than I wanted, but I had no choice because otherwise I wasn't going to get a run." |
