| Sunday, September 21, 2014 Bertram F. Bongard (NYB) Quotes Lisa Lewis, winning trainer of Saratoga Heater (No. 1): "I know [his former connections] were very high on Saratoga Heater, and when we got him there was nothing that we didn't like about him. He's done everything right; he had a beautiful breeze here the other day. I was quietly confident going into this race."
On training for PR Racing, winning owner of Saratoga Heater, in addition to William Schettine of Signature Stallions: "I've trained privately for Mr. Schettine for almost five years now and we've had a really good run. I still train for him, but he's cutting back a little bit and I just wanted an opportunity to get some more young horses. For me, that's where it's at, trying to get a good, young horse, so here we are." Joel Rosario, winning jockey aboard Saratoga Heater (No. 1): "I thought I would be a little bit off the pace, since he came from way off the pace last time. He was really sharp today and broke on top. I let him be happy and cruise along. He took me all the way, so it was a good race for him. It didn't seem anyone was trying to go with me, so that was good, too." |
