Saturday, October 18, 2014 Sleepy Hollow (NYB) Quotes Byron Hughes, assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher, of Ostrolenka (No. 2): "Very professional once again. He was good in the paddock, good on the track. He seemed to relax there on the front end, especially being on the inside and being hounded the whole way. He kind of broke loose down the stretch and won impressively again. They went in 23, 46 and we thought he might get a little tired there, but it didn't seem to bother him much at all." John Velazquez, winning jockey aboard Ostrolenka (No. 2): "I was getting in tight early on, but once I got a spot inside the five-eighths pole I was comfortable. He got into the bridle and was [going] pretty good. I saw someone moving at the three-eighths pole - I didn't know who it was - and I said, 'You know what? Let him go now.' He'll go further; he seems like the kind that wants to run all day."
