Miss Grillo (G3) Quotes

 

Chad Brown, winning trainer of Lady Eli (No. 9), Tammy the Torpedo (No. 1, third), and Partisan Politics (No. 10, fourth): "Outstanding performance. [Lady Eli] had trained like a horse with a ton of ability; that's why she opened up as such a short price in her debut. To start your career 2-for-2, as impressive as those races have been, is great. You can't ask for more."

 

"On workouts, I would have given [Lady Eli] a slight edge [of the three]. Tammy the Torpedo isn't a great work horse, but her first start was incredible. And Partisan Politics had been breezing very sharply. Unfortunately, she missed the break, and was really in trouble the whole way. [Partisan Politics] was a very troubled fourth, and [jockey] Javier [Castellano] got off her and thought she was the best in the race. It's going to be interesting to see with her win in the P.G. Johnson and fourth [in the Miss Grillo] if she can get in [to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies]."

 

"[Jockey] Joel [Rosario] said he thought Tammy the Torpedo didn't like being up so close to such a slow pace. He said she might benefit from being farther back in a race with more pace."

 

Irad Ortiz, Jr., winning jockey aboard Lady Eli (No. 9): "My filly put me in a perfect position. I wanted to be covered up; I had to stay there, sit third. As soon as I asked her, she took off. The trainer did a great job with her. He always told me, 'She's a nice filly and she's training great.'"

 

"The pace was going a little slow. That's why she was a little keen."
