Sunday, December 28, 2014 NYSS Fifth Avenue Gustavo Delgado, assistant to winning trainer Rudy Rodriguez, of The Lewis Dinner (No. 5): "We've always liked her. We thought she ran good [today]; [jockey] Manny [Franco] didn't ask her for much. She didn't switch leads in the stretch, but Manny said he just left her alone because she was running so well. She was a little difficult to work with at the beginning [of her career], but she showed us she was good. As she keeps running, she gets calmer and better." Manuel Franco, winning jockey aboard The Lewis Dinner (No. 5): "She took a bad step out the gate, but after that she took the lead pretty easy. She went well and I think she improved from last time out, [winning the Key Cents stakes on November 14]."
