| Monday, October 13, 2014 Pebbles Quotes Bill Mott, winning trainer of Lady Lara (No. 4): Junior Alvarado, winning jockey aboard Lady Lara (No. 4): "I had the whole crowd in front of me. Turning for home when I put her outside, I saw the horse in front was eight lengths in front of me. I thought, 'Oh, no.' But once she was in the clear, she really took off." "We can't take much credit for the win; the previous trainer [Timothy Jarvis] gets all the credit. We just picked her up out of quarantine. We had been talking with Mr. [Ben] Sangster about bringing her over [from England] for quite a while. It was just a matter of when she was going to come. We thought she might come earlier, but we pointed her toward this race, got her nominated and it worked out. Maybe after this race or another one, we'll give her the winter off and bring her back in the spring. It looks like she's got a bright future in front of her." |
