Lonesome Glory Handicap (G1) Quotes
Richard Valentine, winning trainer of Demonstrative (No. 3): "We discovered he had been entrapping his epiglottis. We did the tie-back operation at Cornell. Everybody who has scoped the horse has been really impressed with the job they did."
"I didn't have him fit for the Iroquois, and that was my fault. He's a good horse, a class horse. He just does everything. Now he's staying a little bit closer in his races. His running style needed to change a little bit."
"If the ground were to come up firm at Far Hills [on Ocotber 18] we would probably go, but if it were soft we'd stay home. He wants firm turf."
Robert Walsh, winning jockey aboard Demonstrative (No. 3): "He's a big, strong horse, who can carry a lot of weight. He was up close today, which, as it turned out, is where you wanted to be. I was confident he would win turning for home."
