| Sunday, August 24, 2014 Seeking the Ante (NYB) Quotes Rick Schosberg, winning trainer of Myfourchix (No. 6): "Sorry to have to stop the Jimmy Jerkens train, but it had to stop somewhere. She got beat in her first start, no fault of her own. She broke a little slow from the rail and she rushed up, probably went in :21 and change, and fought as hard as she could. I said after the race, when we were a little bit disappointed, 'You'll never be disappointed in this filly again.' The post position today helped and Cornelio [Velazquez] rode a perfect race. The first quarter-mile in :21 and change helped us out a lot. For 2-year-old fillies, 6 ½ furlongs is like an older horse going from seven furlongs to 1 1/8 miles. It's a long way home and I think we showed that; it took us a while to get there. But time doesn't matter to us now. She's a really good filly, and I think you'll be hearing more of her when we get to [Empire] Showcase Day [Belmont Park, October 18]." Cornelio Velasquez, winning jockey aboard Myfourchix (No. 6): "I had great position. I wanted to wait until the quarter pole. I had a lot of horse. She's a nice filly. The horse in front just stopped, but my filly tried hard. Very professional." |
