Saturday, October 18, 2014 Maid of the Mist (NYB) Quotes Bobby Ribaudo, winning trainer of Quezon (No. 6): "I had my doubts about doing this because she had come off the one race going three-quarters. You're coming back in a month, which is good timing, but you're going to a mile. You're going into a stake. Common sense says you shouldn't be doing this, but how many times can you run for a quarter of a million dollars with a New York-bred 2-year-old filly? She was doing good, so we went. I was surprised we outran the favorite [Temper Mint Patty] so easily." Manuel Franco, winning jockey aboard Quezon (No. 6): "Today, there was a lot of speed. I tried to follow instructions; he [Bobby Ribaudo] said, 'If someone wants to go, you sit, wait and when you're in the clear, then make your move.' I came with a lot of horse today. She galloped out really good. I think she can go further."
