October 18, 2014 Hudson Handicap (NYB) Quotes Charlton Baker, winning trainer of Moonlight Song (No. 7): "He's a nice horse. He's got a lot of speed. We rated him a little last time because he runs at horses pretty good. Today, he broke sharp and nobody seemed like they wanted the lead. He's the best horse I have in the barn. He was second in this race last year to Palace; he came back and beat Palace in January. Palace is going to the Breeders' Cup, so you know he's been keeping good company." Joel Rosario, jockey aboard winner Moonlight Song (No. 7): "He broke sharp and I was thinking it looked like, on paper, there were a couple of horses with speed like my horse. I was thinking if a couple of them go, I'll just let him settle behind but he broke sharp and I just let him go on and he took it all the way. Every time a horse came to him he kept on going. He was game the whole way."
