Sunday, December 28, 2014 NYSS Great White Way Quotes Jeff Odintz, assistant to winning trainer Ken McPeek, of Chasing Bubbles (No. 7): "I think you can't count his first race at Saratoga, and I don't think he really likes a wet track all that much, either. The first time he got the lead, [in his third start], he got confident. He's been good since then. He did throw in a clunker since then, but it was a sloppy track against maiden special weights and he was down on the inside and couldn't get loose on his own. Then we put him in an easier spot, and he got his confidence back. He looked like the main speed today. I didn't tell the jockey to send him to the front, I let him make that decision on his own, and that's what he did." |
