Sunday, August 31, 2014 Spinaway (G1) Quotes Rudy Rodriguez, winning trainer of Condo Commando (No. 1): "When I saw the slop, I thought we were in trouble from the No. 1 hole, and she didn't break good. She did it easy, though. She wasn't 100 percent fit for her debut, but she was much better today. I just hope she comes back good. She's a nice filly." Joe Bravo, winning jockey aboard Condo Commando (No. 1): "My biggest concern was trying to get out of the gate, and she overcame that and look what she did. Our main concern was to try to get in front. We don't want a lot of dirt to hit her in the face. She overpowered everybody. Really, the race was won the first eighth of a mile. She won first time out pretty impressively, but you didn't know how good she is. I think today she answered a lot of questions." Todd Pletcher, trainer of beaten favorite and third-place finisher Angela Renee (No. 2): "Johnny seemed to think she struggled with the surface. She couldn't really get a hold of it, but she tried hard in spite of that." |
