Saturday, November 1, 2014 Discovery (G3) Quotes Byron Hughes, assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher, of Protonico (No. 2): "Things didn't go quite right [in the Pennsylvania Derby]; we might have run him back a little too soon. Every morning he shows he can run at any time. He hasn't missed a beat since and had been training great. We'll see how he comes out and go from there." Joe Bravo, winning jockey aboard Protonico (No. 2): "He really loved the mud, but I think he could have handled any type of surface. Bottom line, don't you love Todd Pletcher? Todd knows how to get it done. I was just the passenger. The horse was very relaxed about everything and turning for home, he was just playing through there." |
